Privacy Policy
Last updated: [DATE]
City Insider Network ("CIN," "we," "us") publishes free weekly community newsletters and connects neighbors with trusted local businesses. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep it plain on purpose.
What we collect
- What you give us. Your email when you subscribe, and anything you enter in our forms — your name, city, a story you share, a survey answer, or a message you send us.
- Business details. If you advertise, apply to partner, or apply for business funding, the contact and business information you provide for that purpose.
- Automatic data. Basic, standard analytics when you visit the site — pages viewed, general location, device and browser type — collected through cookies and similar tools.
How we use it
- To send you the newsletter you signed up for and the occasional important update.
- To review and, if it's a fit, publish stories and community news you submit.
- To respond to you, process advertising and partner inquiries, and run the business.
- To understand what's useful and improve the site and newsletters.
Cookies & analytics
We use cookies and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, to measure traffic and improve the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; some parts of the site may work less smoothly if you do.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that help us operate — for example, our email delivery, payment processing, and analytics partners — and only as needed to provide the service. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Email & your choices
Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. You can also ask us what we hold about you, correct it, or request that we delete it — just email us.
Data retention & security
We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, and we use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take care with what you trust us with.
Children
City Insider Network is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when our practices change and revise the "last updated" date above.
