Privacy Policy for LinkIdaho.org
Effective Date: March 25, 2025
At LinkIdaho.org, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our news website, which delivers Idaho News, U.S. National News, World News, and Hawaii News Now. By using our site, you agree to these terms.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal data you provide, such as your name, email address, or comments when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or engage with our content.
Automatically collected data includes your IP address, browser type, device details, and browsing behavior (e.g., pages visited, time spent) via cookies and analytics tools like Google Analytics.
We don’t require account creation, but optional subscriptions trigger data collection.
How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us deliver news, improve our site, and personalize your experience. We use it to send newsletters (if you opt in), analyze site traffic, and respond to inquiries.
Aggregated, anonymized data may inform editorial decisions or reports—think “Idaho readers love weather stories”—but won’t identify you.
Sharing Your Information
We don’t sell your personal data. It may be shared with service providers (e.g., email platforms like Mailchimp, hosting services) under strict confidentiality terms. Legal requests—court orders, subpoenas—may compel disclosure, but only as required.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for functionality (e.g., remembering preferences) and analytics. You can disable them in your browser, though it might limit features. Third-party ads (if present) may use their own cookies—check their policies.
Your Rights
You can unsubscribe from newsletters anytime via the link in emails.
Security
We use standard measures—encryption, secure servers—to protect your data, but no online system is 100% secure. Report breaches to us immediately.
