Privacy Policy

clackamasoregon.com is an independently run community site, not an official government website. This page explains what information we collect and how it’s used.

Information we collect

• Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address, name (if provided), and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.
• Contact form submissions. If you use a contact form, we store the name, email, and message you submit so we can respond.
• Basic usage data. We log page visits (the page viewed, a non-identifying visitor ID, IP address, browser user agent, and referring page) to understand how the site is used. If you’re signed in, a visit is associated with your account.

How we use this information

We use this information to operate the site, respond to messages sent through contact forms, maintain business and real estate listings you submit, and understand overall site usage. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-party services

Some features on this site rely on third-party services to function: the National Weather Service (current conditions), OpenStreetMap (maps), and, on some sites, the Adzuna job search API (job listings). These services may receive standard request information (such as your IP address) as part of normal web traffic, subject to their own privacy policies.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies required for the site to function, such as keeping you signed in. We don’t use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Your choices

You can request that we delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us through the Contact page.
