Who we are

Antelope Valley Insider is a local-news and community newsletter serving the Antelope Valley. This notice describes information associated with our website, newsletter subscriptions, directories, forms, and communications.

Information we collect

Depending on your interaction with us, information may include an email address, name, subscription preferences, messages you send, information submitted for a business listing or event, and technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, page visits, and link clicks. Please do not send sensitive personal information through ordinary forms.

How information is used

We use information to deliver newsletters and requested services, manage subscriptions, answer messages, review submissions, operate and protect our website, measure readership, improve content, and administer sponsorships or business listings. Promotional messages are subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.

Email delivery and analytics

Our newsletter and website technology providers may process subscriber information, delivery records, opens, clicks, and related technical data on our behalf. Some email analytics may be imprecise. Unsubscribe using the link in any marketing email; operational communications may still be necessary for a requested service.

Cookies and third-party services

Website functionality, embedded content, advertising tools, and analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. External websites linked from our articles, advertisements, or directory listings control their own data practices. Their policies apply when you visit them.

Sharing and selling

We may share information with service providers who support website hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, and other requested operations, or where disclosure is required by law. This policy does not authorize selling personal information. If our actual advertising or data-sharing practices change, we will update this notice and provide any legally required opt-out controls.

Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described, to meet legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and privacy rights

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about certain uses of your personal data, and to opt out of qualifying sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. We will review and respond to requests as required by applicable law.

Children

Our general-audience services are not intended to collect personal information knowingly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so it can be reviewed.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect service or legal changes. We will post the updated text and effective date here.
