Privacy Policy

Who this notice covers

This notice describes information handled through the Downtown Fontana community publication website for visitors across the United States. Downtown Fontana is independent of the City of Fontana. For questions about our practices or to exercise privacy rights, use the form below.

Information we collect and why

• Newsletter signups: email, optional first name, selected interests, signup source, subscription status, and the consent statement, to manage requested editorial and event updates.
• Event interest: email, name, business name if provided, audience type, learning goals, and interest status, to organize and communicate about the AI pop-up.
• Accounts and sign-ins: account identity, email, name, role, sign-in method, and signup or login times, to provide account access and administer the website. Sign-in activity may be logged and sent to the administrator.
• Messages and privacy requests: contact details, message content, request type, and review status, to respond and keep a record of handling the request.
• Technical and usage information: hosting services receive network information such as IP address and browser details when serving the website. Optional analytics may measure page visits and interactions. See the Cookie Policy for browser choices.

Information comes from what you submit, authentication services you choose, and requests your browser makes. Please do not send passwords, government identifiers, or sensitive personal information through our forms.

Providers and disclosures

Base44 provides hosting, authentication, data storage, and related app services. Administrators can access information needed to operate the publication. Hosted media and font providers receive requests when those resources load. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect rights and security. Social links lead to separate services with their own privacy policies.

Analytics, sale, sharing, and targeted advertising

The website’s consent controls keep advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalization denied. You can decline optional analytics without losing access to public stories. For a request concerning sale, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted advertising, use the opt-out option below. A browser choice applies to that browser and site origin; a request concerning other records is reviewed separately.

Retention and security

Retention depends on the purpose of the information, whether your subscription or account remains active, handling of requests, and legal or security needs. Cookie preferences are remembered for 180 days. Deletion requests are reviewed for information that must be retained under applicable exceptions. Access restrictions help protect stored information, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

U.S. state privacy rights

Depending on your state and whether its law applies to our operations, you may have rights to know or access information, obtain a copy, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, opt out of sale or sharing and targeted advertising, limit certain sensitive-information uses, or appeal a denied request. California residents may have rights under the CCPA where applicable. These rights can have exceptions; this notice does not mean every state privacy law applies to this publication.

Submit requests below without creating an account. For access, correction, or deletion, we may need proportionate verification before acting. An authorized agent may submit a request and explain their authority. If a request is denied, you can choose “Appeal a privacy decision” and describe the decision. We will address applicable requests within the periods required by law and will not unlawfully discriminate for exercising privacy rights.

Global Privacy Control and email preferences

Our browser controls recognize Global Privacy Control by denying optional analytics and advertising. You can also use Cookie settings at any time. To stop newsletter or event emails, select the email opt-out request below; this requests administrator action and does not automatically change subscription records.

Children and notice changes

The signup and account features are not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us below so it can be reviewed for deletion. Changes to this notice will be posted here with an updated date; material changes may require additional notice under applicable law.
