Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Usage analytics. Pages viewed, referring site, approximate location derived from IP address, device type and browser. Aggregated, and used to understand which articles are useful.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Small files stored by your browser that keep the Site working and measure traffic.
• Advertising identifiers. Cookies or IDs set by advertising partners to limit repeat ads and measure campaign performance.
• Information you send us. If you email the newsroom or use a form, we hold the message and your address so we can reply.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, account numbers or other sensitive financial details. Please do not send them to us.

Why we collect it

To operate and secure the Site, understand which stories readers find valuable, and fund the newsroom through advertising. We do not sell reader email addresses.

Third-party advertising and cookies

Advertising on the Site may be served by third-party networks that set their own cookies and read device identifiers, including for interest-based advertising. Those partners act under their own privacy policies. We do not share your email address or message content with advertisers.

Your choices

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
• Enable "Do Not Track" or a global privacy control signal; where required by law we honor it as an opt-out of sale or sharing.
• Use industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative opt-out pages.
• Residents of California and other states with comparable laws may request access to, or deletion of, personal information we hold. Email us to exercise those rights.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, email us and we will delete it.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months. Correspondence is kept for up to 24 months after the last reply, then deleted.

International transfers

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the US, your information will be processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; the revision date above always reflects the current version.
