Privacy Policy
The short version
Falmouth Now is a free local information site. There are no accounts, and we don't sell your data or build advertising profiles about you.
What we collect
We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Vercel Web Analytics & Speed Insights) to see aggregate page views and performance — not to identify individuals. Our servers may briefly process your IP address to serve the site and prevent abuse.
The AI assistant
When you chat with "The Local," the messages you send are processed by our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate a reply. We don't require your name and we don't store conversations in a database — they're handled in memory to answer you and then discarded.
Third-party services & content
The site displays data from third parties (e.g. NOAA, Open-Meteo, town and chamber websites, YouTube webcams). Those services have their own privacy practices. Following a link or loading an embedded webcam is subject to that provider's policy.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
