New England Energy Tracker

Privacy policy

Effective Nov 15, 2026

This policy explains what information newenglandenergyprices.com ("the site") collects when you visit, and how it is used. The site has no accounts or sign-ups and does not ask for your name or email address. The only form is the optional one for sharing a heating oil delivery price, described below.

Server logs

Like most websites, the web server records each request: your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, the referring page and your browser's user agent. These logs are used only to keep the site running, diagnose problems and protect it from abuse. They are kept on the site's own server, are not shared or sold, and are overwritten automatically as new entries are written.

Delivery prices you choose to share

The Submit page lets you share what you paid for a heating oil delivery. Sharing is optional. If you do, the site keeps the details you enter: the delivery date and time, the delivery ZIP code, the price per gallon, the gallons, the ticket total, how the delivery was ordered and paid for, the fuel, and the dealer name if you give one.

What is published is the town and state for that ZIP code, the delivery date and time, the price per gallon, the gallons, and the order, plan, payment and fuel choices, labelled as user submitted. The ZIP code itself, the ticket total and the dealer name are not published. The form does not ask for your name, street address, email address or account number, so please don't type them into it.

Ticket photos stay on your device. If you use the photo option, the picture is read by your own browser and is never sent to the site. Only the numbers you see in the form, after you have checked them, are sent when you press the button.

To limit abuse, each submission is stored with a scrambled (one-way hashed) version of the IP address it came from, which is used only to spot repeats and floods. The form also remembers your ZIP code and order type in your browser's local storage to save typing next time; that stays on your device.

If you would like a delivery you shared corrected or removed, use the contact details at the bottom of this page.

Settings stored in your browser

The dashboard remembers the period and state you last picked using your browser's local storage. That setting stays on your device and is never sent to the site. You can clear it at any time through your browser's settings.

Fonts

Pages load their typefaces from Google Fonts. To deliver the fonts, Google receives your IP address and browser details. See Google's privacy policy and the Google Fonts privacy FAQ.

Advertising

The site may show ads served by Google. When ads are shown, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Analytics

The site does not currently use analytics or tracking tools beyond the server logs above. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.

Children

The site is meant for a general audience and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Links to other sites

Pages may link to other websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
