In some instances, where specified, personal information submitted by visitors may be used on the Website.

Some ads are from affiliate services. Though GoMilpitas.com is not responsible for their privacy terms, I shall link the major affiliates here for your information:
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
A new data privacy law which applies to certain businesses that collect personal information from California residents. The new law goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Here is how Google complies with this law.If you’ve come to our site from a search engine like Google or a social platform like Facebook, your information is possibly being collected, tracked, and shared by them.
Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics to try to give those in Milpitas the best experience possible, and meet their needs. Analytics helps me see if I am doing that. This month, for example, 343 Milpitas visited GoMilpitas 530 times all together. They didn’t leave the site after looking at only one page (Bounce rate 7.17%), but looked at an average of 4.70 pages before leaving. They averaged 4.31 minutes on the site before leaving. Notice that this doesn’t tell me what you were doing! I also see which pages got visited. I try to keep the most popular pages very much up to date as a result of this information. If you want to block Analytics from all websites you browse, you can do so with plenty of browser extensions: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari.
Google Adsense ~ Managing cookies in your browser.
This site serves Google Adsense ads in order to pay for services just to stay online and to pay for some marketing expenses so the community knows that it is around. Once I make enough money from donations or direct advertising, I’ll be able to drop Adsense, and better protect your privacy from Google.
The Adsense Ads of this site are set to be non-personalized, but to reflect either the page or site content, no X-rated ads allowed. If you wish to change this setting for your own use, you may do so, but only you will then see personalized ads on the computer browser where it was set.
Please consider white listing GoMilpitas.com in your ad-blocking software if you wish to help this site stay viable.
Here is how to delete data from all your google accounts and usage.
Some of our plugins have their own privacy policies.
We use Google services to generate maps and provide autocompletion when searching for events by location, which may collect data via your browser in accordance to Google’s privacy policy.
We collect and store information you submit to us about events (and corresponding locations) you would like to publish on our site.
Yoast SEO
Our plugin itself stores no personal data, only website data. The personal data we might have from you is the data you have provided. This information would have been only that supplied my me, the webmaster, on behalf of this site. It would not contain any user information.
Anti-spam plugins have been removed, and so comments on posts have also been removed. Events are moderated before they appear to the public, so if spam is posted there, the typical user will never see it.
Advanced Ads
I use this sparingly at this time. When I get more direct advertisers, I will use this to place ads in page content. This privacy statement only applies to the plugin and not the ads it serves. Most of the privacy concerns apply to me the webmaster, and not you the user.
