Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2025

Privacy at TapYourNews.com

At TapYourNews.com, your privacy isn’t just respected—it’s protected.

We keep it simple:

  • No creepy tracking.
  • No selling your email address.
  • No fluff. Just local news that matters.

Here’s how we handle your information:

🧠 What We Collect (and Why)

The only thing we collect from you is your email address when you choose to subscribe to our daily updates.

We use that email to:

  • Send your morning news briefing around 10:30 AM
  • Occasionally, include a sponsored message from a local business

We never sell, rent, or give away your email address. Ever.

🕵️ What Gets Tracked (Spoiler: Not Much)

To understand what people care about and improve your experience, we use:

  • Google Analytics – To see which pages are popular and how people use the site. It’s anonymized and helps us make the site better.
  • Mailchimp – For email delivery and basic performance stats like open rates and clicks.
  • Facebook Pixel – This helps us with visitors from Facebook and Instagram. It tells us if someone visited TapYourNews.com after clicking one of our links. We don’t see personal data—just general info to help us measure what’s working.
  • Microsoft Advertising (UET Tag) – This helps us understand if someone visited the site after clicking a Microsoft ad (like from Bing). It doesn’t show us your name or identity—just that someone found us through a Microsoft ad, which helps us fine-tune what works.

That’s it. No personalized ads, no fingerprinting, no shady stuff.

📬 Your Email, Your Choice

If you signed up, you’ll get:

  • One email each morning with the top local stories
  • Maybe a useful or entertaining local ad once in a while

Every email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you’re out—no hard feelings.

🔒 Your Info Is Safe

We use reputable platforms to protect your information. Our site runs securely, and we don’t store any sensitive data ourselves.
