This Privacy Policy explains how North Coast Oregon (“we,” “us”), operated by Seth Berns, collects and uses information when you visit northcoastoregon.com.
Information we collect
– Information you send us, such as your name and email address when you contact us.
– Usage data collected automatically, such as pages visited, browser type, device and approximate location, through analytics tools such as Google Analytics, and server logs kept by our hosting provider.
– Cookies and similar technologies used by our site software, analytics and, if we run ads, advertising partners.
How we use information
– To operate, secure and improve the site.
– To respond to messages, tips and correction requests.
– To understand which articles readers find useful, in aggregate.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics), when required by law, or to protect our rights and users.
Analytics and advertising. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage data; you can opt out with Google’s browser add-on or your browser’s cookie settings. If we display advertising, partners may use cookies to show and measure ads, and we will update this policy to name them.
Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. You can ask us to access or delete information you’ve sent us by emailing contact@northcoastoregon.com. Residents of states with privacy laws, including Oregon’s Consumer Privacy Act, may have additional rights, and we will honor verified requests.
Children. The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Data retention and security. We keep messages only as long as needed to respond and keep records, and we use reasonable safeguards, though no system is perfectly secure.
Changes. We may update this policy; the date above shows the latest version.
