This Privacy Policy describes how Harbor Weekly (harborweekly.org) handles information in connection with visitors to this website. This site is a static informational publication. It does not operate accounts, store user data on servers, or process payments.
Information Collected
Harbor Weekly does not collect personally identifiable information through automated means. The contact form on the About page collects name, email address, phone number and message text entered voluntarily by the visitor. This form performs a front-end simulation only — form data is not transmitted to any server or stored anywhere.
Standard web server access logs may record IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs and page requests. This information is retained for a limited period for security and technical maintenance purposes and is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
This site uses a single cookie-equivalent through the browser's localStorage API to record whether a visitor has acknowledged the cookie consent banner. The stored value is either "accepted" or "rejected" and is used solely to suppress repeat display of the banner. No tracking or advertising cookies are set by this site.
Third-party resources loaded by this site — specifically Google Fonts, loaded via fonts.googleapis.com — may set their own cookies or collect data subject to Google's privacy practices. Visitors who reject the cookie consent banner or who prefer not to load third-party fonts can disable them through browser settings.
Third-Party Links

Harbor Weekly does not control the privacy practices of these external sites. Visitors following outbound links are subject to the privacy policies of the destination sites.
