Privacy Policy

Overview

WECU News ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information when you use this website.

Information We Collect

If you create a reader account, we collect the email address and password you provide. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you submit. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to operate reader accounts and the newsletter.

Cookies and Location Data

This site uses essential cookies and similar technologies (such as local browser storage) to keep you signed in, remember your saved articles, and remember choices you've made, such as dismissing a notice.

If you allow it, we also use your IP address to estimate your general location (state-level only) when you visit our Local page, so we can show you relevant local news. We do not store this location, and it is only used to select which stories to display during that visit.

When you first visit WECU News, you can choose "Accept All" to allow this location-based personalization, or "Essential Only" to use the site with only the cookies necessary for it to function. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for wecunews.com. Declining location-based personalization never restricts your access to any article or feature on the site.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate reader accounts, deliver the newsletter, show relevant local news if you've allowed it, and improve the site. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Your Choices

You may update or delete your reader account information at any time by contacting the newsroom. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in each email. You may change your cookie choice at any time through your browser settings.

Questions about this policy can be directed to the WECU News newsroom through the contact information listed on our site.
