Privacy policy
Last updated: October 11, 2026
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Local Burbank website (the "Site"), operated by the Local City Network, collects when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to this policy.
2. Information you give us
When you use our contact form or a review form, you may provide your name, email address, and the content of your message or review. We use this information only to respond to you, to moderate submissions, and to operate the Site. We never display your email address publicly.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and analytics infrastructure may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address. We use this information to keep the Site secure, understand aggregate usage, and improve content.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality and aggregate analytics. Embedded third-party content (such as videos) may set its own cookies when you interact with it — those are governed by the third party's privacy policy, not ours. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; the Site's core content remains accessible without optional cookies.
5. Third-party services
The Site links to third-party websites and embeds third-party content (for example, video players and map or photo sources). When you follow a link or interact with an embed, that third party may collect information about you under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
6. How we use information
- To respond to messages and review submissions you send us.
- To operate, secure, and maintain the Site.
- To understand aggregate usage and improve the guide.
- To comply with legal obligations when required.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
7. Data retention
We keep contact-form and review submissions only as long as needed to respond and operate the Site, after which they are deleted or de-identified. Automatically collected technical logs are retained for a limited period consistent with standard hosting practice.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live (including under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share it). To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact form. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
9. Children's privacy
The Site is a general-audience city guide and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Accessibility
We are committed to making the Site accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, and we work toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please tell us through our contact form (choose "Accessibility feedback") and we will work to fix it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, with the "last updated" date revised above. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
