An Accessibility Guide to Los Angeles Art Spaces is a community project of the Los Angeles Artist Census. This page explains what information the site collects, why, and the choices you have. We have tried to collect as little as possible.
The short version
- The survey asks about the accessibility of art spaces, not about you. Your contributions are published publicly as part of the guide.
- We do not ask for your name, email, or any account.
- We do not store your IP address, your browser/device details, or the page you came from.
- We do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and we do not sell or share your personal information.
Information we collect
Your survey answers. When you fill out the accessibility survey, your answers (for example, doorway widths, restroom features, parking, admission) are saved and become part of the public guide and map. Please don’t include personal information about yourself or others in free-text fields.
A small amount of technical information, used only to keep the survey working and to limit spam and duplicate entries:
- A non-reversible token derived from your IP address. We run your IP through a one-way, keyed transformation and keep only the short result — we do not keep your actual IP address, and the token cannot be turned back into it.
- A temporary, random session identifier that links the steps of a single survey visit together.
- Timestamps (when a response was started, changed, and completed).
We do not store your IP address, user-agent (browser/device string), or referring URL.
On your device
- A session cookie (set as
HttpOnly,Secure,SameSite=Lax) remembers your place while you move through the multi-step survey. - Local storage in your browser keeps a copy of your in-progress answers so you can resume after a gap — useful when filling out the survey on-site, where there can be long pauses between steps. This stays on your device and is cleared when you finish the survey.
We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.
How we use information
- To build and publish the accessibility guide and map.
- To prevent spam and duplicate submissions.
- To operate, secure, and maintain the website.
We do not use your information to profile you, advertise to you, or build a marketing list.
Information that leaves your browser
Loading any website involves your browser contacting servers, which necessarily see your IP address as part of a normal request. For this site that includes:
- Map tiles from OpenFreeMap, when you view the map.
- Code libraries from the jsDelivr and unpkg content-delivery networks.
- Hosting by DreamHost, which serves the site.
The site’s resource library is populated from a Google Sheet that we maintain; no information about you is sent to it. Outbound links — such as Donate (Los Angeles Artist Census) or our contact email — take you to services governed by their own privacy policies.
The animated trail that can appear in the footer is a purely visual effect rendered in your browser; it does not record or transmit anything.
Data retention
Survey contributions are retained as part of the public guide. The non-reversible IP token is kept only to support spam and duplicate detection. We keep operational logs to a minimum and remove verbose debugging data.
Your California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you rights over personal information, including the right to know what we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising any right.
Because we collect so little and do not require an account, a deletion request may be limited to the technical token and any survey response you can help us identify. To make a request, email us (see Contact below).
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
