Privacy Policy

Peninsula News Group LLC (“PNG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you access or use our news websites and any related applications (the “Site”), and describes your choices and rights. By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described here. This Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information when you use the Site:

• Information you provide — such as your name and email address if you contact us, and any content you choose to send us.
• Information collected automatically — IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, approximate location derived from IP, and date and time of access.
• Cookies and analytics — identifiers and usage data collected through cookies and our self-hosted Matomo analytics, used to understand traffic and improve content.

Children. The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our content; to respond to your inquiries; to analyze traffic, usage, and trends; to personalize content and remember preferences; to detect and prevent security incidents, fraud, and abuse; and to comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand how it is used, including a self-hosted Matomo analytics installation configured to respect privacy. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar opt-out preference signals where required by law. Disabling cookies may affect some features.

How We Disclose Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information to service providers that host, operate, analyze, or support the Site (bound by confidentiality obligations); to entities under common control with PNG for operational and administrative purposes; where required by law or legal process or to protect rights, property, or safety; in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets; and with your consent.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Analytics data is retained in aggregated or de-identified form where practicable. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Users and Data Transfers

PNG is based in the United States, and the Site is operated from and hosted in the United States and other jurisdictions. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence (for example, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of your personal information, and to opt out of any “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. We do not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@peninsulanewsgroup.com; we will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Because there is no common industry standard for Do Not Track signals, we do not respond to them, but we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as GPC where required.

Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites or include third-party content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date reflects the most recent changes. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
