Privacy Policy

Introduction

North State Now respects reader privacy. This policy explains how information may be collected and used when visiting NorthStateNow.net.

Visitor Privacy

North State Now does not require readers to provide their name, age, address or other personal information to access news stories.

North State Now does not intentionally collect information about readers based on their age.

The website uses Google Analytics to understand website traffic, including page views, approximate geographic information, device and browser information, referral sources and visitor engagement. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information. This helps me improve the website and its news coverage.

If you contact North State Now by email, I may receive your email address, name if provided, and the information you send. I use that information to respond to inquiries, review story tips and address corrections. Please avoid sending sensitive information unless necessary.

Third-Party Links

News stories may link to government agencies, community organizations, businesses and social media platforms. Those websites have their own privacy policies and practices.

Advertising

North State Now may offer advertising or sponsorship opportunities. If additional advertising technology that collects visitor information is introduced, I will update this policy as appropriate.
