The December 12, 2023 policy named six companies. This version matches how 41051.com actually earns a living in 2026: current affiliate networks, current privacy URLs, Kentucky's Consumer Data Protection Act, and a clear FTC affiliate disclosure.
Rakuten Marketing is listed as Rakuten Advertising, with the current privacy policy and rights-request form.
CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) and Partnerize (Performance Horizon) are added — the networks NKY Web has used alongside Rakuten.
Conversant Media is listed under Epsilon, with Epsilon's North American notice and data-rights portal.
Apple Services Performance Partners (the at=11ldtG music links) and Microsoft Advertising are disclosed.
Kentucky consumer rights (KCDPA, effective January 1, 2026) are spelled out, including how to appeal.
FTC affiliate disclosure
This site uses affiliate links
41051.com participates in affiliate marketing. When we post a link to a product, playlist, or merchant — on the website, in email, or on social — and you click it and buy, we may be paid a commission. That commission does not change the price you pay.
DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.
Social posts that are ads use #ad or #sponsored. We recommend products and local destinations we think belong in Independence — the commission is how a community site stays online, not a ranking fee.
Who we are
41051.com is a community website for residents and businesses of Independence, Kentucky. It has run since 1999. It is not a city government site.
The publisher is Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC, a Northern Kentucky firm that also does search and affiliate marketing across a network of regional domains. Email you give us may be used across that network for community notices. We do not sell your name or email to data brokers.
Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC
5106 Madison Pike, Box 461
Independence, KY 41051 (859) 429-1918
What we collect
Most visits leave only technical logs: IP address, browser, pages viewed, and referring URL. We collect more only if you choose to give it.
You send us: name and email on the newsletter form; anything you write to us by phone or mail.
Automatic: cookies, device identifiers, and approximate location from IP, used for site function, analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution.
From partners: click IDs and conversion pings when you follow an affiliate or ad link. Those companies' policies govern what they keep.
We do not ask for Social Security numbers, payment cards, or health records. We do not knowingly collect sensitive data as Kentucky defines it.
How we use it
Run and improve 41051.com (events, parks, churches, local news).
Send the occasional community newsletter you signed up for.
Measure which stories and pages people actually read.
Attribute affiliate commissions and serve advertising that helps pay for the site.
Respond to privacy requests and legal process.
Affiliate & advertising partners
The companies below may collect personal information when you interact with our digital properties, including IP addresses, digital identifiers, information about your web browsing and app usage, and how you interact with our properties and ads — for personalization of offers or advertisements, analytics about how you engage with websites or ads, and other commercial purposes.
For more information about the collection, use, and sale of your personal information and your rights, use the links below. These are the live policy URLs as of September 13, 2026.
Tracks clicks and purchases on merchant sites when you use Rakuten affiliate links on 41051.com. May collect IP address, digital identifiers, browsing data, and how you interact with ads.
Measures referrals from 41051.com to national advertisers. Clicking a CJ link can set tracking cookies and record device and click identifiers so a commission can be attributed if you buy.
Records the journey from a 41051.com partner link to an advertiser site (typically via a tracking cookie such as tPHG-PS) so a sale can be attributed to this site.
Formerly Conversant Media · Advertising & affiliate measurement
May collect identifiers and browsing data used for personalization, analytics, and commercial advertising when Conversant / Epsilon tags or links appear on our properties.
Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to 41051.com and other sites, and to measure traffic. This includes Google Ads and related advertising cookies.
National and regional advertisers may bid on 41051.com inventory through Microsoft Advertising. Microsoft may process device and browsing data related to those ads.
Holiday playlists and music pages on 41051.com use Apple Music / iTunes affiliate links (token at=11ldtG). If you subscribe or buy through those links, Apple may pay this site a commission.
If you join our event newsletter, Constant Contact stores the name and email address you submit and sends mail on our behalf. Every message includes a one-click unsubscribe.
Some newsletters are sent through Mailchimp. Intuit processes the address you give us only to deliver those messages. Every message includes a one-click unsubscribe.
An affiliate link looks like an ordinary URL. Extra parameters tell the network that the click came from 41051.com. If you later buy (often within 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the merchant), the network may pay us a small percentage.
Christmas lyric and playlist pages on this site use Apple Services Performance Partners. Those URLs include the publisher token at=11ldtG. Example:
Clicking that link may drop Apple and Partnerize/Rakuten tracking cookies. You can still buy the same song on Apple Music without using our link.
Cookies, Google Ads, and opt-outs
41051.com uses Google Ads. Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. Google's advertising cookies let Google and its partners show ads based on those visits.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's cookies at aboutads.info. Browser controls can also block cookies; some pages may then work less well.

Email newsletter
If you volunteer your name and email, we use it to send occasional notes about major Independence events. We promise not to spam the list. Every Constant Contact or Mailchimp message has a one-click unsubscribe.
Your address may be shared internally across the Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC network of community sites. It is not sold.
Sharing, "sale," and targeted ads
41051.com and Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC will not sell your name, email, or other information you type into our forms.
Under some state laws, allowing advertising and affiliate networks to collect identifiers (IP address, cookie IDs, click IDs) for ads or commission tracking can count as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal data, or as processing for targeted advertising. That is why the partner table and opt-out links are here.
We also share data with service providers who host the site, send email, or help us answer a legal request — and when the law requires it.
Your rights
The Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act took effect January 1, 2026. Whether or not 41051.com meets the statute's size thresholds, we honor these rights for Kentucky residents:
Confirm whether we process your personal data
Access that data
Correct inaccuracies
Delete personal data we have about you
Obtain a portable copy
Opt out of sale, targeted advertising, and certain profiling
Appeal if we deny a request
Residents of California and other states with similar laws may use the same process. We answer free of charge, up to twice in a 12-month period, within 45 days (with one 45-day extension if needed). If we decline, we will say why and how to appeal.
We do not collect this form on our servers. Fill it in, copy the letter, and mail or call Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC. Kentucky law allows two free requests per year; we respond within 45 days.
41051.com is written for a general audience — families, parks, churches, schools. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe we have, call us and we will delete it.
Contact and appeals
Questions about this policy, a rights request, or an appeal of a denied request: write Northern Kentucky Web Design LLC, 5106 Madison Pike, Box 461, Independence, KY 41051. Mark the envelope "Privacy."
We will acknowledge appeals and decide them within the same 45-day window. City services (permits, police, parks maintenance) are not us — call Independence City Hall at (859) 356-5302.
We may update this page as networks rebrand or the law changes. Links to partner policies are provided for convenience; each company is responsible for its own practices.
