Effective Date: 19 April 2026

The City of Weippe (“City”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure online experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our official website.

1. Information We Collect

Because our website is designed for informational purposes and does not allow public commenting or user-generated content, we collect very limited data:

• Voluntary Information: If you contact us via email or an online contact form, we collect the information you provide (such as name, email address, and phone number) to respond to your inquiry.
• Automatic Technical Information: Like most websites, our server automatically logs certain non-identifying information, including:
  • Your IP address.
  • The type of browser and operating system used.
  • The date and time of your visit.
  • The pages you accessed.

2. Use of Cookies

We may use “cookies” to enhance your experience. These are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how the site is being used. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may function differently as a result.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used strictly for:

• Improving website content and navigation.
• Responding to citizen requests or questions.
• Monitoring website security and performance.

We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscriber or visitor lists to third parties.

4. Public Records Disclosure

As a local government entity, the City of Weippe is subject to the Idaho Public Records Act (Idaho Code § 74-101 et seq.). Please be aware that any information transmitted to the City via this website—including emails and form submissions—is presumed to be a public record. These records are subject to inspection and copying by the public unless a specific statutory exemption applies

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites (e.g., county services, local businesses and organizations, and payment portal). The City is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these external sites. We encourage you to review their individual privacy policies.

6. Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure.

7. Changes to this Policy

The City reserves the right to update this policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
