Redmond Local Report is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website, which delivers local news, sports, weather, and community updates for Redmond, Washington.
Who We Are
Our website address is https://redmondlocalreport.com.
We operate as a small independent local news site and collect minimal personal data to provide our services.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information automatically through standard web technologies:
- Usage Data: When you visit our site, we may log non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and pages viewed. This helps us understand site performance and improve content.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use essential cookies for basic site functionality (e.g., loading pages efficiently). We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics. You can manage cookies via your browser settings.
No personal information (such as names, emails, or contact details) is collected unless you voluntarily provide it, for example, by emailing us at editor@redmondlocalreport.com.
Comments and User-Generated Content
Comments are currently disabled on our site. We do not collect data from comment forms, Gravatar profiles, or related services.
If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and disclose any new practices.
Media and Uploads
Visitors cannot upload images, videos, or other media to our site.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images, or tweets). This content acts as if you visited the third-party site directly.
Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track interactions, especially if you are logged into their services. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
Analytics and Third-Party Services
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, or third-party tracking tools.
How We Use Information
Any limited data collected (e.g., usage logs) is used solely to:
- Maintain and improve the website
- Understand general traffic patterns (anonymously)
We do not sell, share, or disclose data to third parties except as required by law.
Data Retention
We retain minimal server logs for a short period for security and troubleshooting purposes. No personal data from interactive features is stored.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Since we collect very little personal information, most privacy rights (e.g., access, deletion, or export requests) do not apply. If you have concerns or believe we hold data about you, contact us at editor@redmondlocalreport.com.
We follow applicable privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA, and maintain transparency for visitors from regions with strict regulations.
