1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information when you visit or interact with our website:
Usage data. When you browse our site, our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools.
Contact and inquiry information. If you submit a message through our contact form, advertise inquiry form, or sales-team application, we collect the name, email address, phone number, and any other details you voluntarily provide.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect certain features of the site.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To operate, maintain, and improve our website and editorial content.
To respond to inquiries, contact-form submissions, and advertising or employment applications.
To send our free newsletter to subscribers who have opted in.
To analyze site traffic and reader behavior in aggregate, in order to understand which topics and stories are most valuable to our audience.

3. Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to distinguish you from other users and to improve your browsing experience. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies to help us understand how visitors use our site. These services collect information in aggregate and do not identify individual users.
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our site.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, government agencies, and other news organizations. This Privacy Policy applies only to The New England Voice. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
We may embed content from third-party services (such as weather widgets or video players). These services may collect data about your interaction with the embedded content in accordance with their own privacy policies.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Contact-form submissions and inquiry data are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and follow up. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Server log data is typically retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.

Our website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
