Privacy
Collect less. Explain it clearly.
The Journal does not run advertising trackers. We use privacy-light first-party measurement to understand whether readers find and use the publication. If you join a newsletter, we store the email address you provide solely to deliver and manage that publication.
What we collect
Newsletter email addresses, basic security logs, page paths, referral and campaign labels, and an ephemeral per-tab session identifier. Audience measurement does not store IP addresses, cookies or a durable cross-site identifier.
Your location
News near Me asks your browser for your location only when you tap it. Your device rounds it to about a kilometer before sending it to the Journal, which uses it once to name the nearest town and choose the stories, then discards it. The map is drawn by the Journal rather than a mapping service; moving it sends the Journal only the area on your screen, to draw that part. Neither is stored, logged or shared with anyone.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal information, build advertising profiles or require an account to read the news.
Retention
Subscription records are kept while a subscription is pending or active, and removed after an unsubscribe request is processed.
Your choices
You may read the publication without subscribing. Use the direct publisher contact for a privacy or newsletter-removal request.
