A guide that works without an account

Saved places and outing plans

Saved places, saved events, visit marks, and outing plans are stored in this browser’s localStorage. They are not sent to the site. You can remove them from the Saved page or clear this browser’s site data. Exported backups are files you choose to save and keep.

Following towns

My corner keeps up to five selected towns and your countywide-reading preference in this browser’s localStorage. The site sends public content to the browser, where your choices filter it. These preferences are not sent to the site, shared in outing links, or included in saved-place exports. Clear them on My corner or through your browser’s site-data settings. They do not sync between devices.

Sharing an outing

When you choose to share a plan, its ordered place and event references are included after the # in the link. URL fragments are not sent to the hosting server. Anyone who receives the full link can see those stops, and the messaging service you use can see the link you send. Visit marks and the rest of your saved list are not included.

Opening a shared plan does not change the recipient’s saved list. Adding it is a separate choice. Event details are checked against the current public calendar, so a shared link does not preserve an old event description or guarantee availability. A shared link cannot be revoked; you can send a new one if your plans change.

Hosting and the public calendar

The site is built to run on Cloudflare Workers. Its approved public event records use Cloudflare D1 and versioned calendar artifacts use Cloudflare R2. The public site reads that published calendar; it does not fetch event feeds from outside sites in response to a visitor request. Cloudflare processes request data as part of hosting and delivery under its own privacy practices.

Images, maps, video, and external links

The homepage and local field-guide photographs are served by this site, with photographer and reuse-license links beside them. The map loads only after you open it. Map tiles and style data are provided by OpenFreeMap and use OpenStreetMap data; attribution appears on the map. Video players from YouTube or VideoPress load only after you choose a video. Each provider has its own privacy practices. Direct source and publisher links remain available. The guide does not request your location automatically.

Event suggestions and corrections

The submission form saves your event or page title, date, venue, source link, and notes in a private editorial queue. It does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or account, and the application does not save your IP address with the suggestion. Please leave personal and sensitive information out of the notes.

Suggestions are checked against primary sources before anything is published. Queue views cover the past 90 days; older entries are removed on the next submission, operator review, or maintenance run. Private operator backups and exports may retain earlier entries until those files are removed. Hosting providers still process requests as described above.

Contact

If you contact us by email, we receive the address and information you choose to include. Use hello@iheartccpa.com for general questions and corrections@iheartccpa.com for factual corrections or accessibility barriers.

The guide currently has no advertising and no first-party analytics. If those practices change, this page will be updated.

The Thursday newsletter

When you sign up, we use your email address to send a confirmation link and, after you confirm, our weekly Chester County guide. You may also provide your first name and how you heard about the newsletter; those answers are optional and help us understand signups. If you choose “Other,” you may add a short description. Resend stores the mailing list and delivers these emails. Each issue includes an unsubscribe link, and Resend records delivery failures and unsubscribe choices.

The signup form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to screen automated requests. Cloudflare processes browser and request signals needed for that check. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy notice.

We keep your email address, optional name and referral answer, signup and confirmation dates, and the version of the signup wording as a record of your choice. Unconfirmed signups expire after 48 hours and are cleared during subsequent signup activity. To limit automated requests, we keep a hash derived from your address and IP address for up to 32 days, cleared during subsequent signup activity. Contact us to request deletion of your signup record. Resend may retain suppression records to honor delivery and unsubscribe preferences.
