Our approach
Signal Post News is designed to minimize data collection. Reading the publication does not require an account, and we do not sell personal information. This notice describes the limited information we do handle.
What we collect
- Messages you send us: when you use a contact form or email news@signalpostnews.com, we receive the contents of your message and your contact details, used only to respond.
- Newsletter signups: your email address, used only to send the newsletter you requested. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Basic technical data: our hosting provider processes standard server logs (such as IP addresses and user agents) to operate and secure the site.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share your information with data brokers. Embedded social-media content is loaded only where we include it, and is governed by those platforms’ policies.
Advertising and analytics
Signal Post News is supported in part by advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads on this site, and Google Analytics to understand our readership.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to readers based on their visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Readers can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, and can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Google Analytics uses cookies to report how readers use the site — pages visited, time on page, general location, and device and browser. We use that reporting in aggregate to decide what to cover.
Cookies
The cookies used on this site fall into three groups: strictly necessary cookies (such as remembering interface preferences), analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, and advertising cookies set by Google AdSense and its partners. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site remains readable without them.
Your rights and contact
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing news@signalpostnews.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We respond within 30 days. This notice is effective October 19, 2026; material changes will be noted here with a new effective date.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was provided: correspondence is retained while it remains relevant to editorial work, newsletter addresses until you unsubscribe, and server logs on the short rolling basis our hosting provider uses for security. When information is no longer needed, it is deleted.
Children
Signal Post News is a general-audience publication not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
