Privacy Policy

What we collect

You can read Cali Reporter without registering. If you join our newsletter, we store your email address, signup date, consent record, subscription status, and the signup page. Newsletter signups are currently stored by Cali Reporter; no external mailing platform is connected.

We keep lightweight, aggregate usage counters: article view counts and ad impression and click counts (slot, article, timestamp). These contain no personal identifiers.

Cookies

A session cookie is used for newsroom administrators. Browser notification subscriptions are stored by your browser, and an endpoint and encryption keys are held by our server only when you choose to subscribe. Administrative draft recovery may use local browser storage.

Advertising

We serve clearly labeled advertisements. House ads are served directly from this site. Ad placements can also contain third-party provider content, which may receive your IP address, browser information, and page context when loaded. Advertiser links use campaign parameters; the advertiser’s privacy policy applies after you follow a link.

Newsletter and notification preferences

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using your personal unsubscribe link, or request removal at the contact address below. Browser alerts are optional and delivered through your browser vendor’s push infrastructure. You can turn them off on our subscription pageor in your browser settings. Expired push endpoints are disabled. We do not sell subscriber lists.

Server logs

Like every website, our infrastructure keeps short lived access logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) for security and debugging. Logs are rotated automatically.
