What we collect

When you visit Salt n Sand Weekly, we collect standard technical information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location, and pages viewed. If you submit our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the name and email address you provide. We do not collect payment information directly, since we do not sell products through this site.

Cookies

We use cookies to remember basic site preferences and to support analytics and advertising. Some cookies are set by us directly, while others come from third-party services like Google Analytics and our ad server. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features, including form submission, may not work correctly without them.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site, including which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and which categories draw the most traffic. Google Analytics collects data in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors to us by name. You can learn more about Google's own data practices through Google's privacy policy.

Revive Adserver

Salt n Sand Weekly displays advertising served through Revive Adserver. Ad zones may use cookies or similar technology to measure impressions and, where applicable, to serve relevant ads. We do not control the data practices of individual advertisers, and any ad-specific data collection is governed by that advertiser's own policy, not ours.

Third-party links

Our articles link to restaurants, event organizers, tourism resources, and other outside websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to, and we encourage you to review their policies separately before sharing any personal information with them.

Data storage and retention

Contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber information are stored with our email and form-processing providers. We retain this information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or to keep you subscribed to our newsletter, and we do not sell or rent visitor data to third parties.

Your rights

You can ask us to review, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you by contacting us through our contact page. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law, including the right to request a copy of the data we hold about you.

Newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter, we use the first name, last name, and email address you provide solely to send you our weekly coastal coverage. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, and doing so removes you from future sends immediately.

Children's privacy

Salt n Sand Weekly is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time as our site, tools, or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
