syracuse.io is run by CODES (the Coalition of Digital Engagement in Syracuse), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This policy covers syracuse.io and the services we use to run it.
What we collect
- Basic visit data. Our host records the usual request details (IP address, browser, page requested) for security and reliability.
- Analytics and ad conversion data. We use Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking. They count visits and record when someone clicks an RSVP link, joins the Slack, signs up for the monthly email, or contacts us about supporting the meetups. We use that to see what is working and to report on the Google Ads grant that helps people find us. These tools use cookies and send Google details such as your IP address, browser, and the pages and buttons you use.
- Your email address, if you subscribe to the monthly email. We ask for an address and nothing else. Signing up uses double opt-in: you confirm by email before you are added.
There are no accounts on this site, and nothing you do here is tied to your name.
Do Not Track
If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not load Google Analytics or Google Ads at all. You can also block them with your browser’s settings or an extension.
How we use it
To send the monthly email you asked for, to understand how people find and use the site, to report on our Google Ads grant, and to keep the site online. Nothing else.
What we don’t do
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We share it only with the service providers listed below, and only so they can do the job we hired them for.
Service providers
- Google Analytics and Google Ads: visit analytics and ad conversion tracking
- Buttondown: the monthly email
- Cloudflare: hosting and CDN
- GitHub: the source of this site is public
Other sites
RSVP links take you to our event platform (today, Meetup), and the Slack invite takes you to Slack. Their privacy policies apply once you leave syracuse.io.
Your choices
Every monthly email has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also email us at hi@syracuse.io at any time to ask what we have about you, correct it, or have it deleted.
Children
syracuse.io is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. The full history is in our public repository.
