Privacy Policy

Who we are

Stay Gazette is published by Trousdale Digital Technologies LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, which is the controller of any personal data described here. For anything to do with your data, email info@staygazette.com.

What we collect and why

The newsletter. If you subscribe to the daily briefing, we store the email address you enter, the page you subscribed from, the time, and the IP address and browser signature of the request (to stop abuse of the form). Purpose: to send you the briefing and to understand where sign-ups come from. Legal basis: your consent, given by ticking the box on the form. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to us.

Server logs. The site is served through Cloudflare, which records the IP address, user agent and requested address of each request for security and reliability. Purpose: to keep the site up and defend it against abuse. Legal basis: legitimate interest. These logs are kept by Cloudflare for up to seven days.

Email you send us. If you write to the desk with a tip, a correction or a request, we keep the correspondence for as long as it is needed to deal with it.

A count of visits, only if you accept. If you choose Accept in the cookie box, the site loads Google Analytics 4 to count visits: the pages opened, the site that sent you here, your device and browser type, your approximate location (country and city) and the few actions listed under Cookies. Purpose: to see which stories and sections are read, so the desk can make the paper better. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time under Cookie choices. If you choose Decline, nothing from Google loads.

Nothing else. Stay Gazette does not run advertising networks, session recording or social-media pixels, and it tells Google not to use the visit count for advertising. We do not ask for your name, address, phone number or any payment details. The paper takes no bookings and processes no payments.

Cookies

Until you choose Accept in the cookie box, the site sets no analytics cookies and loads nothing from Google. Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie for security purposes. The site sets no advertising cookies at all.

Google Analytics 4, after you accept. Google Analytics then sets cookies whose names begin with "_ga", so that a returning reader is counted as one reader. They last up to two years. It records the pages you open and how you move through them (for example a scroll to the foot of a page, a search on the site or a click on a link that leaves it), and the site adds a short note when you tap our phone number or email address, sign up for the newsletter (the email address itself is never sent to Google) or follow the site-credit link in the footer.

Changing your choice. Open Cookie choices, here or at the foot of any page, and the box comes back. Decline stops Analytics at once and removes its cookies from this browser. Your choice is kept in your browser's own storage, not in a cookie. Clearing this site's data in your browser resets it, and the box will ask again.

Who processes data for us

• Cloudflare, Inc. (United States and European Union): hosting, content delivery, security and the database that holds the subscriber list. Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Resend, Inc. (United States): sending the newsletter and the notification when someone subscribes. Resend's privacy policy.
• Google LLC (United States): Google Analytics 4, the count of visits, only if you accept it in the cookie box. Google's privacy policy.

Each acts as a processor on our instructions. We do not sell or share personal information with anyone else, and we never rent or trade the list.

International transfers

Data may be processed in the United States. Where the law of your country requires safeguards for such transfers, we rely on the standard contractual clauses and certifications offered by the processors above.

How long we keep it

Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, after which it is removed within 30 days. Cloudflare request logs are retained for up to seven days. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle it and no more than two years. Visit records tied to an Analytics cookie are kept by Google for no more than 14 months; totals that identify nobody are kept for longer.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS only, with security headers, and the subscriber list is held in an access-controlled database. No system is perfectly secure and we make no absolute promise, but we take reasonable measures and would tell affected subscribers promptly if something went wrong.
