Template. Replace this page with a policy that matches how your publication actually handles data. This is placeholder text, not legal advice.
What we collect
Newsletters. When you sign up for a newsletter, we store your email address and which lists you chose. We use it only to send those emails.
Tips and messages. When you contact the newsroom, we receive the name, email address, and message you send. Editors and reporters use it to follow up on your tip or question.
Reading data. If analytics are enabled, we collect aggregate data such as which stories are read and which sites send readers to us. We do not use it to identify individual readers, and we do not build advertising profiles.
Protecting sources
We treat tips as confidential. We do not share a source’s identity outside the newsroom without their consent, unless the law requires it. For sensitive information, follow the guidance on our contact page before you write to us.
How we use information
- To send the newsletters you asked for
- To report on tips and answer questions
- To understand which stories are useful to readers
- To meet legal obligations
We do not sell or rent your information.
Third parties
Newsletters are delivered by our email provider, form messages by our form provider, and analytics by our analytics provider. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
Your choices
Every newsletter has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you through the contact page.
