NWA Coffee is a one-person publication about coffee in Northwest Arkansas. I don’t run ads, I don’t sell data, and I don’t track you around the web. This page explains the little that does happen when you visit, in plain terms.
What this site collects
What you choose to send, plus visit statistics (see Analytics, below). If you use the contact form, it sends me your name, email address, and message; Netlify, which hosts the site (see below), receives and stores those submissions for me. If you sign up for the newsletter, it sends me your email address (see Newsletter, below). There are no accounts, no comments, and no advertising.
The fonts and images are served from this site, not from outside services such as Google Fonts, so loading them doesn’t send your information to anyone else.
Analytics
The site uses Google Tag Manager to run Google Analytics, which tells me how many people visit and how they use the site: which pages they read, how they arrived (a search, a link from another site), the kind of device and browser they use, and their approximate location (city or region, not an address). Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser so it can tell one visit from another. I use these numbers only to see what’s useful and improve the site, not to identify you or show you ads. Google handles this data under its own privacy policy. You can turn it off with a content blocker or Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify’s servers record basic technical details when a page is requested: your IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the time. Netlify uses these logs to deliver the site and keep it secure. Netlify handles that information under its own privacy policy.
Newsletter
When you sign up for the newsletter, I keep your email address in a private spreadsheet in my own Google account (through Google Forms and Sheets). It’s used only to send you the newsletter. I don’t sell it, share it, or use it for anything else. To be taken off the list, send me a note through the contact form. If I move the list to a newsletter service, I’ll name it here.
Links to other sites
Business listings link to websites, Instagram and Facebook pages, phone numbers, and Google Maps directions. Articles and events link elsewhere too. Once you follow a link, you’re on someone else’s site, and their privacy policy applies, not this one.
Children
This site is meant for a general audience and doesn’t knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If anything here changes, for example when the newsletter launches, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
Questions
If you have a question about privacy on NWA Coffee, send me a note through the contact form.
