Privacy & survey methodology

A community directory

Jeffco.Info is an independent volunteer-maintained resource guide. It does not require an account to read. This site does not add advertising trackers or third-party analytics. Hosting providers may keep standard server logs, including IP addresses, for operation and security.

Your browser

Your selected color theme is saved in this browser's local storage. System mode follows your device preference. The homepage resource-category filter runs in your browser; it does not send your search text to a server. An open survey uses a secure session cookie for request protection and submission handling. Archived results do not need a new session cookie.

Survey information

Survey records can contain your selected location, answers, optional comments, submission time and a pseudonymous network identifier used to limit repeat responses. New identifiers use a keyed, survey-specific digest stored separately from the website's public files. They are not a guarantee of anonymity. Please do not put names, contact details or other sensitive information in optional comments.

Raw responses and their previous saved version are stored outside the public website directory. The April 2026 archive was migrated without changing answers or counted totals. Protected legacy records and deployment backups may remain available to the site maintainer for recovery.

Retention and requests

Archived records are retained while their historical results are published, with access limited to site maintenance and review. Before opening another survey, the maintainer should publish its closing date and retention period. To ask about a record, correction or removal, email info@jeffco.info. A pseudonymous record may not be identifiable from your name alone.

How to read the results

These are voluntary community responses, not a representative poll or an official county vote. Displayed totals count no more than two ballots per network. Libraries, shared Wi-Fi and other common networks can serve unrelated people; a network is not proof of a household or unique person.

Resource chatbot

When you send a question, its text and up to three earlier questions in the current chat are sent through our server to OpenAI to select relevant directory entries. Do not include names, street addresses, medical details or other private information. AI matching can be wrong; the displayed service details come from our published directory.

Jeffco.Info does not save chat transcripts. Conversation text stays in page memory until you clear the chat, reload or leave the page; closing the chat panel alone does not clear it. OpenAI API response storage is disabled, but OpenAI may retain data for abuse monitoring under its own policies. OpenAI API data practices.

To prevent abuse and control costs, we keep a monthly usage counter and short-lived request counters using a keyed, daily-changing network identifier. Hourly counters are replaced when the next hour receives a request. These counters do not contain question text. Standard hosting logs may still contain IP addresses. You can always browse the directory without using AI.

Service map

Opening the service map loads background map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Its servers receive your IP address and the requested map areas. We do not request your GPS location. Area and keyword filtering runs in your browser; search text is not sent to the map provider. Public service coordinates are stored with the directory. OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy.

External services

Provider websites, Zoom, email and phone links take you to services governed by their own policies.
