Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-09

Hi — I’m Steve Bronder, and I run this site (the NYC Play Calendar) as a personal project. This page explains what data the site collects when you visit, and what I do with it. The short version: I use Google Analytics so I can see whether anyone is using the site. That’s it. I don’t sell or share your data with anyone.

What this site collects

If you click “Gosh I love cookies (Accept)” on the consent banner, the site loads Google Analytics 4, which collects:

• The pages you visit on this site and how long you spent on them
• Roughly where you are (city level, derived from your IP address — the IP itself is anonymized before it reaches Google)
• Your device type, browser, and operating system
• The site that referred you here, if any

If you click “Gosh I hate cookies (Reject)”, none of the above is collected. Google Analytics still receives an anonymous, cookie-less “ping” so I can count total visits in aggregate, but nothing is stored on your device and nothing about you specifically is recorded.

Cookies

If you accept, Google Analytics sets two cookies on your device:

No other cookies are set by this site.

Who I share data with

Only Google, because that’s who runs Google Analytics. Google’s handling of this data is governed by their Privacy Policy and Google Analytics terms. I do not have any other data-sharing partners, advertisers, or affiliates. I do not sell data. I will not sell data.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can:

• Change your mind — click “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer of any page to re-show the consent banner and choose differently.
• Opt out of Google Analytics globally by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Browse in private/incognito mode, which prevents the cookies from persisting between sessions.

If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you also have specific rights under GDPR / UK GDPR / CPRA — including the right to ask what data has been collected about you and the right to ask for it to be deleted. Because I don’t store any data myself (it all lives inside Google Analytics under an anonymized ID I can’t tie back to you), the practical way to exercise these rights is the opt-out add-on above, or by clearing your cookies. If you have questions or want to make a formal request, please file a GitHub Issue on this site’s source-code repository — I monitor that and will respond there.

Changes to this policy

If anything material changes — for example, if I ever add a new tracking tool or a third-party integration — I’ll update this page and bump the “Last updated” date at the top. There is no mailing list to notify, because (per the rest of this page) I don’t have your email.
