This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit jasonchance.com, how that information is used, and what limited third-party services are involved.
Overview
This site is a content-focused personal website built with Jekyll and hosted through GitHub Pages. It exists to publish writing and project documentation related to downtown revitalization, economic development, local government technology, and related public-interest topics.
I do not run user accounts, paid subscriptions, or e-commerce on this site.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect limited technical information automatically when you visit. That can include:
- your browser type and version,
- device type,
- approximate geographic region,
- referring website,
- pages visited,
- time spent on pages,
- and general traffic and engagement data.
This information is used in aggregate to understand how the site is being used and to improve content, navigation, and site performance.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure traffic and general site usage.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- page views,
- session activity,
- approximate location,
- device and browser information,
- referral sources,
- and interactions with site content.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to support measurement and reporting. I use this information only to understand overall site performance and reader behavior in aggregate. I do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors.

Contact Information You Choose to Send
If you contact me directly, any information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, or message content, will be used only to respond to your inquiry or continue the conversation you started.
I do not sell that information or use it for unrelated marketing.
File Downloads and External Links
This site may provide downloadable files and links to third-party websites. Downloading a file or visiting an external site may subject you to that third party’s own privacy practices, terms, or data collection.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services linked from this site.
Hosting and Infrastructure
This site is hosted using GitHub Pages and may rely on related delivery infrastructure such as content caching, standard web server logs, and security monitoring. Those services may process technical request data as part of normal website operation.
Data Sharing
I do not sell visitor data. I only share data to the limited extent necessary to operate the site through standard hosting and analytics providers, including GitHub Pages and Google Analytics.

You can limit certain kinds of tracking by adjusting your browser settings, blocking cookies, using privacy-focused browser tools, or using Google’s available Analytics controls.
If you do not want information collected through Google Analytics, you can disable cookies in your browser or use tools provided by Google or your browser environment to limit analytics tracking.

This site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site.
