Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website domain is camdenhistory.com, which encompasses camdenhistory.com and its subdomains, including dvrbs.camdenhistory.com. All public sites under the camdenhistory.com domain, collectively called the Site, are governed by this policy.

The goal of this domain is to share the history of Camden, NJ with everyone. Interactions with this site are optional.

Analytics

We collect anonymous page view data to understand how the Site is used. This includes the page path, referring website domain, referring URL, and inferred device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop). We do not store IP addresses, do not use tracking cookies, and do not fingerprint visitors. Bot traffic is filtered and excluded. Analytics data is retained for up to 90 days.

Comments

We may use Disqus for comments, which requires a separate registration and is not owned, operated, or affiliated with this site. Disqus manages its own privacy policy.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Security Services and CDN

Our site uses third-party services for hosting and serving content. We may enable or disable services at any time, at our sole discretion, and each service is governed by the respective platform's privacy policy.

Our infrastructure is powered by Cloudflare. They process all traffic to provide security, caching, and edge computing. Cloudflare's services may independently collect data, set cookies, or monitor traffic under their own privacy policy — this is outside our control and is not done on our behalf.

We may use Cloudflare Zaraz to load and manage third-party tools such as Google Analytics. This means Google Analytics runs through Cloudflare's infrastructure rather than directly in our code. Google's privacy policy governs data collected through this service.

We may use Microsoft Clarity to capture how visitors use and interact with the Site through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. When active, this is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

We may display a Buy Me a Coffee support button on public pages. Clicking this button connects to buymeacoffee.com, which is governed by Buy Me a Coffee's own privacy policy.

Cookies and LocalStorage

We do not set cookies for public visitors. Cloudflare may independently set cookies as part of their security, performance, or bot-mitigation services; these are governed by Cloudflare's privacy policy and are not set by us.

If you use Disqus to comment, Disqus may set cookies on your system to remember your login. This is governed by the Disqus privacy policy.

This website may use LocalStorage to save browser-level settings such as display preferences. This data is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.

Administrators who log in to the site receive a session cookie for authentication purposes. This cookie is httpOnly, Secure, and expires after 8 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade personal data. Sharing occurs only with the third-party services described in this policy, and only for the purposes described.

Cloudflare manages our infrastructure, including security and performance, and processes all traffic to the Site.

Google Analytics, delivered via Cloudflare Zaraz when active, may receive aggregated usage data. We configure what data is collected and may enable or disable this at any time, but data Google collects is governed by Google's own policies. If you wish to manage data Google holds about you, you will need to contact Google directly.

Microsoft Clarity may receive session and interaction data when active.

Buy Me a Coffee may receive data when the support button is displayed or clicked.

Disqus receives data related to comments when the comments feature is in use.

How long we retain your data

• Anonymous page view analytics and access logs are retained for up to 90 days, then deleted automatically.
• Comments and their metadata are retained by Disqus under their own policy.
• Administrator account data is stored until deleted by the user or a site administrator.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an administrator account on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request deletion. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

For data held by third-party services (Google Analytics, Disqus, Microsoft Clarity, Cloudflare, Buy Me a Coffee), you will need to contact those services directly as that data is not under our control.

Where your data is sent

• Site content is served through Cloudflare's network.
• Anonymous analytics data is processed locally and retained for 90 days.
• Comments, if used, pass through Disqus.
• We do not sell or trade personal data.

Email

If email is used, it is generated and/or transmitted through one or more third parties and does not originate from camdenhistory.com infrastructure.
