Privacy Policy
How we collect, use and protect your information.
This is a plain-language draft and has not yet been reviewed by legal counsel. Review before public launch.
Information we collect
Information you provide when you use a form on this site (Submit News, Corrections, Contact, Newsletter) — such as your name, email address, organisation and message. Usage data collected through cookies and analytics.
How we use it
To review and respond to your submission or enquiry, to operate and improve the site, to send the newsletter you asked for, and to understand how the site is used. Form data is used only for editorial purposes.
Form uploads
Files submitted with a news tip are stored separately from public media and are not published unless we independently verify and choose to use them.
Newsletter
Newsletter interest is stored privately until an email delivery provider is connected. Before sending begins, subscribers will receive a confirmation flow and every email will include an unsubscribe link.
Retention
We keep submission records for as long as needed for editorial accountability, then delete or anonymise them.
Your choices
You can ask us what personal data we hold about you and ask us to correct or delete it — contact us via the Contact form.
