This Privacy Policy explains how Cumberland Flux LLC (“Cumberland Flux,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or participate in our Community Events. We aim to handle personal data carefully, transparently, and in a way that respects your choices.
Who we are
Cumberland Flux LLC is a Maryland Public Benefit LLC based in Allegany County, Maryland, USA. Our work focuses on inclusive, activity-first Community Events that support connection and belonging.
Information we collect
We collect limited information in order to run our website, understand how it is used, and communicate with people who reach out to us.
- Information you provide directly: If you contact us by email or through a form, we may collect your name, email address, and any information you choose to share in your message.
- Event-related information: If you RSVP or communicate about a Community Event, we may collect your name, contact details, and basic information needed to coordinate the event (for example, accessibility needs or general preferences you choose to share).
- Technical & usage data: When you visit our website, basic technical information (such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited) may be collected by our server logs and by our self-hosted Matomo Analytics installation, described below.
How we use your information
- To respond to questions, requests, or messages you send us.
- To coordinate and communicate about Community Events you express interest in.
- To maintain the security and reliability of our website.
- To understand, in aggregate, how people find and use our website so we can improve it.
Website analytics (Matomo)
We use a self-hosted installation of Matomo Analytics to understand how our website is used. Matomo runs on infrastructure we control, and the data is not shared with advertising networks.
Matomo helps us measure, for example:
- Which pages are visited, and how often.
- Approximate geographic region (for example, country or state).
- Basic technical information such as browser type and device type.
- Referring websites or links (when available).
We configure Matomo to collect only the information we reasonably need for improving the website and understanding overall usage. Where possible, we use features such as IP address anonymization and respect for browser “Do Not Track” signals.
Matomo opt-out
If you prefer not to be tracked by Matomo on this website, you can opt out. Your choice will be stored and applied to future visits from the same browser (subject to your browser’s cookie and privacy settings).
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.
If the opt-out control above does not appear or does not work as expected, you can also adjust your browser settings (for example, by enabling “Do Not Track” where supported) or contact us directly with any questions about analytics on this site.
Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality (such as remembering your preferences) and for privacy-respecting analytics through Matomo.
We may configure Matomo to operate in a “cookieless” mode or to use only strictly necessary cookies, depending on our current settings and applicable privacy requirements. In some configurations, this may reduce or remove the need for explicit cookie consent for analytics. However, this can depend on your location and local regulations.
If we use cookies that require consent under applicable laws, we will make reasonable efforts to present a clear notice and/or obtain consent before those cookies are stored. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.
For more details on Matomo’s privacy approach, you can review Matomo’s own documentation. This Privacy Policy describes how we configure and use Matomo on this specific website.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Analytics data in Matomo may be stored in aggregate form for longer periods so we can observe long-term trends, but we aim to minimize the amount of personally identifying information in those records.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights such as:
- The right to request access to personal information we hold about you.
- The right to request correction or deletion of that information, where appropriate.
- The right to object to or restrict certain types of processing.
- The right to withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent.
If you would like to request access, correction, deletion, or have questions about how we handle personal information, you can contact us using the information below.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we aim to use proportionate safeguards for the type of data we handle.
Third-party sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We also do not use third-party advertising networks on this site. We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate the website or coordinate communications (for example, email hosting providers), but only to the extent necessary for those services and subject to appropriate safeguards.
International visitors
This website is operated from the United States. If you access the site from another country, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers are based. The data protection laws in those locations may differ from those in your country.
