Who we are
WilmingtonFun is a local events and places guide for Wilmington, North Carolina. The site is operated by Cartegy, LLC.
What we collect
- Analytics data through Google Analytics — pages you visit, time on site, approximate (city-level) location, browser/device info, and the site that referred you. This data is aggregated and not tied to your identity.
- Email addresses you provide voluntarily — when subscribing to our newsletter, creating an account, submitting an event, or sending a correction.
- Account information if you register: your email and a hashed password.
- Submitted content — the details of events you submit (title, description, date, location, your name, contact email).
- Server logs — IP addresses, request timestamps, and user agents, used for debugging and abuse prevention.
How we use it
- To run and improve the site
- To send the newsletter you opted into (every email has an unsubscribe link)
- To contact you about an event you submitted — for example, to clarify details or notify you it was approved
- To prevent spam and abuse
We do not sell your personal information. Ever.
Cookies
We use cookies for two things:
- Analytics — Google Analytics drops cookies to understand how the site is used.
- Authentication — to keep you logged in if you have an account.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The site will still mostly work, but some features (logging in, saving preferences) won't.
Third parties
- Google Analytics — site analytics. Their privacy policy.
- Stripe — handles payments for ad placements. We never see or store your card details.
- Email providers — we use a transactional email service to send newsletters and event confirmations.
