Privacy.

Publisher and scope

This policy describes Point Pleasant Public Finances, published by PPRGC, an independent civic research project. This is not a government website. About PPRGC explains the publisher and government non-affiliation.

Calculator entries stay in your browser

Assessed values, utility usage, service units, and scenario assumptions are processed in your browser. The site's tools do not send those entries to PPRGC, submit them to a government agency, or save them to a user account.

There are no accounts, registration forms, public contact forms, or advertising trackers. Fonts and interactive chart data are served with the site.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages visitors read, how visitors find the site, and how the site performs. When a page loads, Google's analytics script runs in your browser and sends measurements to Google. These measurements include the page address and title, the referring page when your browser provides it, browser, device and language details, and interactions such as scrolling, clicks on links to other sites, and file downloads. Google uses your IP address to derive an approximate location. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. The measurements do not include calculator entries or scenario values.

Google Analytics sets two cookies in your browser: _ga, and _ga_ followed by an identifier for this site's data stream. They hold a random identifier that lets Google recognize a returning browser. They expire after up to two years. Google keeps event data for up to 14 months.

We do not use Google's advertising features, and the site's tag opts out of Google signals and ad personalization.

Google processes this information under its own terms. Read How Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's privacy policy. To stop Google Analytics measuring your visits, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or block the script in your browser.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand page visits and page performance. Cloudflare loads an analytics script and receives measurements such as the page visited, referring page, browser and device information, and loading times. These measurements do not include calculator entries or scenario values.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use analytics cookies or browser storage to track visitors. See Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation for how the service works.

Hosting and technical requests

Cloudflare provides hosting and network services. Delivering and securing the site can involve processing technical request information such as IP addresses, browser details, requested URLs, and timestamps. Provider settings and policies govern those technical records and any essential security cookies.

Apart from the Google Analytics cookies described above, the site does not add its own advertising or analytics cookies or use browser storage for visitor profiles. This statement does not rule out processing or essential security features used by the hosting provider. Read Cloudflare's privacy policy for its processing.

Shared chart links

Sharing controls can put a chart's selected year, time range, view, and visible series in the page URL. The sharing controls do not add calculator entries. URLs can appear in browser history and ordinary hosting request records. Copying a link uses your browser's clipboard feature when available.

Public records and external sites

The financial research includes public records that may identify officials, public employees, or properties. Those published source records are distinct from information about visitors to this site.

Following an official-source or other external link takes you to a separately operated site with its own privacy practices. Your browser then makes a request to that site. The publication's pages use a no-referrer policy.

Changes

This policy describes the current publication. Changes to its information practices should be reflected on this page. The Terms of use and License & attribution page provide related information.
