This policy explains what information River News Network collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Effective date: · River News Network ("RNN," "we," "us") operates rivernewsnetwork.com (the "Site").
RNN is a news and data site. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read the Site. We use limited cookies and analytics to operate and improve the Site, and we display advertising from third-party networks — including Google AdSense — which use cookies to serve and measure ads. You can control or opt out of personalized advertising, as described below.
If you email us (for example, a story tip or correction), we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message. We use it only to respond to you.
Like most websites, our servers and service providers may automatically log standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of access. This information helps us operate the Site, understand usage in aggregate, and protect against abuse.
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve and measure advertising. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
RNN displays advertising to support our journalism. We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google, to serve ads on this Site.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate, so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and collects standard technical information as described above. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at Google's Privacy & Terms, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Visitors in the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland will be asked for consent to non-essential cookies where required. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at geoffman11@rivernewsnetwork.com.
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
