This notice describes what this site actually does with information, in plain language. It has not yet been reviewed by an attorney; we’ll say so here when it has. Last updated 2026-09-13.
The short version
We run this site ourselves on our own server. We don’t use analytics, advertising, or third-party trackers. The only information we collect is what you choose to give us through the near-miss report form or the comment system, and we use it for one purpose: making the case that this stretch of SR 77 should be widened.
The near-miss report form
What it collects. The date of the incident (optional), the closest landmark, direction of travel, incident type, a free-text description (optional), a link to video you’ve posted elsewhere (optional), and an email address (optional, only if you want to be contacted about your report). We do not accept photo or video uploads, and we do not record your IP address or browser details with the report.
Where it goes. Reports are stored in a database on the server we operate. They are not emailed anywhere and are not sent to any third-party service. Site administrators can view and export them.
How we use it. To build a picture of where and how near-misses happen on this corridor, and to present that to ADOT, Pinal County, Central Arizona Governments, and elected officials. Anything we publish or present will be in aggregate (counts, locations, types) or with identifying details removed. We will not publish your email address or your description verbatim without asking you first.
How long we keep it. Until you ask us to delete it, or until the campaign concludes. Send a deletion request to the contact address on the Get Involved page once it’s published; in the meantime, a request through the comment system on any page will reach us.
Please don’t include other people’s identifying information (names, license plates, faces in linked video) without their consent. The form asks you to confirm this before submitting.
Comments and accounts
Commenting requires an account. When you register, we ask for a name, email address, and phone number so we can reach organizers and verify that commenters are real people from the corridor. When you comment, WordPress (the software this site runs on) also records your IP address and browser type to help detect spam. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so that follow-up comments from the same person can be approved automatically. You can see, edit, or delete the information in your profile at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and comments entirely. We have turned off avatar images, so your email address is not shared with the Gravatar service.
Cookies
If you log in, WordPress sets cookies to keep you logged in and remember your display settings. If you leave a comment, you can opt in to a cookie that remembers your name and email for next time. None of these are used for tracking, and visitors who don’t log in or comment get no cookies from us.
Linked and embedded content
Pages on this site link to outside sources (ADOT, NHTSA, news outlets, Wikimedia Commons) and may embed video from sites like YouTube. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and following a link or playing an embed means they may collect data as if you had visited them directly.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to delete it. We’ll do both unless we’re required to keep something for legal or security reasons, which we’d tell you.
