Privacy & data use.
This notice explains what Skyline Ice collects, which measurement services are used, and the choices available to visitors.
Last updated October 2, 2026. This page describes the current Skyline Ice website implementation.
Information collected when you visit
Like most websites, Skyline Ice and its hosting providers process routine technical information when pages are requested. This can include an IP address, browser and device information, referring page, requested page, date and time, and security or diagnostic information. Netlify may process the IP address to deliver and secure the site and to provide approximate request geolocation. Skyline Ice does not intentionally retain raw IP addresses in its custom local-market analytics implementation.
You can deny the browser permission and continue using the site by selecting a town manually. You can also revoke location permission later in your browser or device settings.
On pages with a “Use my location” button, your browser can ask for permission to use the device's location. This feature is optional and is used to identify the nearest Skyline Ice town guide or filter local results. The precise coordinates remain in your browser and are not sent to Skyline Ice, Netlify Forms, or Google Analytics by this feature. Skyline Ice may measure only a coarsened result such as the nearest guide area, a broad distance band, whether the location is within the target market, and whether permission was granted or denied.
Optional device location
The Skyline Ice location endpoint does not return or store the visitor's raw IP address or the latitude/longitude Netlify uses to produce the approximate result. The coarse fields may be sent to Google Analytics as event parameters so Skyline Ice can compare local-market traffic with non-local traffic and understand which local guides are useful.
To understand whether site interest is coming from the Charlottesville and Central Virginia market, Skyline Ice uses Netlify's request geolocation on a first-party server endpoint. Netlify derives approximate geography from the network request. Skyline Ice receives a coarse result such as city, state, whether the visit falls within the target market, the nearest Skyline Ice guide area, and a broad distance band.
Approximate location measurement
Google Analytics 4
Skyline Ice uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-R06QSJJ8NJ) to understand how the site is discovered and used. The standard Google Analytics implementation can collect information such as page views and interactions, session statistics, approximate geographic area, browser and device information, and a pseudonymous client identifier stored in a first-party cookie such as _ga.
Google states that Analytics may use an IP address during collection for functions such as coarse geographic reporting, service operation, and spam detection, and that raw IP addresses are not logged or stored in Google Analytics. Skyline Ice uses Analytics data to evaluate search traffic, local-area interest, page usefulness, and site performance.
Skyline Ice does not intentionally send names, email addresses, form contents, raw IP addresses, or precise GPS coordinates to Google Analytics. When location features are used, Skyline Ice may send only coarsened values such as city/region, nearest guide area, broad distance band, and local-market status. The current site code contains the standard GA4 measurement tag and does not contain a separate Google Ads conversion tag.

Microsoft Bing & Bing Webmaster Tools
Skyline Ice may use Bing Webmaster Tools to submit and monitor the site in Microsoft Bing and to review aggregated search-performance information such as impressions, clicks, search queries, indexed pages, links, and crawl diagnostics. Microsoft may process information associated with use of Bing before a visitor reaches Skyline Ice, and a visit from Bing may include ordinary referral and browser request information.
The current Skyline Ice website does not load Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) or Microsoft Clarity tracking code. If Skyline Ice later adds a Microsoft advertising or behavioral analytics tag, this notice should be updated to describe that technology and any applicable consent controls before or when it is activated.

Calculator data
The ice calculator performs its calculations in your browser. Calculator quantities are not intentionally submitted to Skyline Ice through a form. If you use a share feature that places calculator values in a URL or link, anyone who receives that link may be able to read the values contained in it.
Forms and messages
When you submit a Skyline Ice form, the information you enter is sent through Netlify's form-handling service. Skyline Ice may use those details to respond to your inquiry, review a suggested vending location, evaluate local demand, or review a potential host or seller relationship. Do not submit payment-card data, financial account information, sensitive identity documents, or information about another person without authorization.
Form submissions may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to review the inquiry, respond, maintain business records, prevent abuse, or comply with applicable obligations. Submitting an inquiry does not enroll you in a marketing newsletter unless a form specifically says otherwise.
Third-party links
Skyline Ice links to maps, retailers, source pages, search engines, and other third-party websites. When you follow one of those links, the third party's own privacy practices apply. Skyline Ice does not control how those sites collect or use information.
Cookies and browser controls
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies or similar browser storage to distinguish visitors and sessions. Essential hosting and security functions may also use technical storage where necessary. You can manage or delete cookies using your browser controls. Blocking analytics cookies may reduce measurement accuracy but should not prevent you from reading Skyline Ice's public content.
Privacy requests
If you previously submitted information through a Skyline Ice form, you may ask about that information or request a correction or deletion. Skyline Ice may need enough information to locate the original submission and may retain limited records where reasonably necessary for security, legal, or recordkeeping purposes.
