Black Cultural News (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website blackculturalnews.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you give us. When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit our contact form, or leave a comment, we collect the information you provide — typically your name and email address, and any message content.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Your Information
- To send you our newsletter and updates you have requested;
- To respond to your questions, comments, and requests;
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our content;
- To understand how visitors use the Site through analytics;
- To display and measure advertising; and
- To protect the Site, our readers, and our legal rights.
Newsletter and Email
Our newsletter is managed with FluentCRM, hosted on our own servers. When you subscribe, your name and email are stored so we can send you the content you signed up for. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. You can also contact us to be removed.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site working properly, remember preferences, understand traffic, and support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand how visitors find and use the Site. These services may set cookies and collect data such as your IP address and browsing activity on the Site. Google’s use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy. You can learn more, and opt out of Google Analytics, at Google’s opt-out page.
Advertising
The Site displays advertising, which may include our own promotions and ads from partners such as Jet Black Design, as well as third-party ad networks. Third-party advertisers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and, in some cases, to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited cases:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (for example, hosting, email delivery, and analytics), under obligations to protect your data;
- Legal reasons, when required to comply with the law, enforce our terms, or protect the rights, safety, and property of Black Cultural News, our readers, or others; and
- Business transfers, if the Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Your Choices and Rights
You may:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email;
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you; and
- Adjust your browser to refuse cookies.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to know what data we hold and to request its deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-Party Links
Our content may link to other websites and resources we do not control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
