Privacy

Boston Neighbor is published by Roviq LLC. We keep this simple.

What we collect

• Newsletter: your email, optionally your town, and the page you signed up on. We use it only to send the newsletter.
• Business features: what you type in the form (business, town, contact, links and notes). We use it only to review and, with your consent, feature your business.
• Contact form: what you type on the contact page: the topic, your email address, your message, and, if you add them, your name, town and a link. We also store the time you sent it and a one-way hash of your IP address. We use it only to read and answer your message and to fix what you point out, and we do not add you to the newsletter from it. A short alert with your message may also go to our team’s private chat so we see it sooner. We keep messages until you ask us to delete them.
• Abuse protection: a one-way hash of your IP address for rate limiting, and Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.

The site has no ads and no advertising trackers. A few things are kept only in your own browser (local storage), never sent to us: your day or night edition choice, the holiday lights switch, stories you save, your recent searches, and whether you have signed up for or closed the newsletter box, so we do not ask again. Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it.

Your choices

Every issue will carry a one-click unsubscribe. To have your email, message or feature submission deleted, send the request through the contact page, mention the email address or business, and we will remove it.
