Effective Date: July 20, 2026
Flowra (“Flowra,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website (the “Site”) in support of our community and advocacy work in Trinity County, California. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from visitors to the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
• Information you provide directly. When you submit a contact or feedback form (for example, providing input on a project like the Post Mountain Road Sediment Reduction plan), we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Newsletter sign-up. If you subscribe to our email list, we collect your email address (and, if provided, your name) so we can send updates about Flowra's projects and advocacy work.
• Automatically collected information. Like most websites, the Site uses cookies and similar analytics tools (such as Squarespace's built-in analytics) to collect information about how visitors use the Site, including IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Respond to inquiries and feedback submitted through our forms
• Send newsletter updates to subscribers who opt in
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site
• Comply with legal obligations, where applicable
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies and Analytics
The Site is hosted on Squarespace, which uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and to provide aggregate analytics (e.g., visitor counts, page views, referral sources). These tools may collect information such as your IP address and browsing behavior on the Site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some parts of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:
• Service providers who help us operate the Site and communicate with subscribers (for example, our website host, Squarespace, and any email newsletter provider we use)
• Government agencies or officials, when submitting your feedback is part of a public comment process you've chosen to participate in (for example, a public infrastructure feedback period)
• Authorities, if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Flowra, our community, or others
5. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain our mailing list, or comply with our recordkeeping and legal obligations. You may request that we delete your information at any time (see Section 7).
6. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

• Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 9.
