Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy covers the site dccnow.com (“DCC Now,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by DCC Now (Delta Community Concerns), an independent community initiative. Please read this statement carefully as it outlines what information we collect from you via the Site and how we use and disclose such information.

Our Use of Cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier that is sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. Cookies may be persistent or session cookies. They do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Status — to help determine basic site functionality as you navigate the site.
• Security — as an element of the security measures used to protect the site and its administrators.
• Analysis — to help analyze the use and performance of our website.

We may use Google Analytics or a similar service to analyze the use of our website. These services gather information about website use by means of cookies. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The methods vary by browser.

Advertising

DCC Now may display advertising or sponsored content from time to time. Advertising and sponsored content will be identified as such and kept separate from editorial reporting. Where third-party advertising services are used, those services may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. DCC Now does not control the privacy practices of third-party advertising providers.

Email Addresses and Contact Information

We may collect your email address or other contact information only if you voluntarily provide it — for example by writing to us. We use the information for the purpose for which you gave it. You may opt out of email communications at any time. We will not sell or share your contact information with third parties except where required by law.

Correspondence with Public Officials and Candidates

As part of our investigative work, DCC Now corresponds with public officials, candidates, and electoral organizations to request comment on matters of public interest. Consistent with our editorial standards, this correspondence — and any responses received — may be published, quoted, or summarized as part of our reporting, in full or in part, with attribution.

If you correspond with DCC Now in your capacity as a public official, candidate, or representative of an electoral organization in response to a request for comment, you should expect that correspondence may be published as part of our reporting unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Public Records

DCC Now publishes information based on publicly available government records, correspondence, and documents. Where we publish or link to such records, that information was already part of the public record and is being made more accessible, not newly disclosed by us.

External Link Disclaimer

DCC Now may contain links to external websites, including government websites and source documents. Providing links does not mean we guarantee, approve, or endorse the information on those sites. Visitors to external sites assume responsibility for their own use of them.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most recent version will always be posted on this page with the Effective Date noted at the top. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
