Privacy Policy

Treasure Coast Today is an independent local news website owned and operated by Andrew Dobrow. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and your choices.

Information we collect

We collect limited information needed to operate the site, provide memberships, understand readership and respond to messages:

• Analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and general, aggregated information about our audience. This helps us improve our coverage.
• Membership account information. If you purchase or use a Treasure Coast Today membership, we use your email address to create or link your membership identity, send secure sign-in links and verify access.
• Payment information. Membership payments are processed by Stripe. Treasure Coast Today does not receive or store your full card number. We receive identifiers and subscription status needed to provide and manage membership access.
• Information you send us. If you email us a news tip, correction, or question, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message.

How we use information

We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, provide membership access, process and manage subscriptions, send secure authentication messages, understand readership in aggregate, and respond to messages you send us. We do not sell your personal information.

News content and sources

Treasure Coast Today uses automated tools to assist in gathering and organizing information from public sources. Published coverage is produced under the editorial oversight of the publisher. For more on how our coverage is produced, see our Editorial Standards.

• Google Analytics for website analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Stripe for membership checkout, recurring billing and billing-account management.
