Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Nofo Times LLC may collect, use, and share information through NofoTimes.com. The site is an editorial and informational media-style guide focused on the North Fork and surrounding areas.
Information we may collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including information submitted through contact forms, sponsorship inquiries, business updates, correction requests, and newsletter forms if and when those are added. We may also collect technical information automatically, including IP address, browser type, device type, referral source, pages visited, and similar usage information.
How we may use information
We may use information to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, review business updates or corrections, understand site usage, support sponsorship or advertising discussions, and support future newsletter or marketing functions if those are added later.
Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies
The site may use cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand traffic and improve performance. These tools may collect information about site usage automatically. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.
Third-party links, embeds, and services
The site links to third-party businesses, booking platforms, social media pages, maps, directories, and other outside websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third parties. If embedded content or external services are used, those services may also collect information according to their own policies.
Information sharing
We do not sell personal information for cash. We may share information with service providers that help operate the site, or when required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or site security.
Sponsored content and business relationships
Some content or placements may be sponsored, featured, or part of a business relationship. Where applicable, we intend to disclose those relationships clearly. Sponsored or featured placement does not change the need for readers to do their own evaluation of a business or service.
Data retention and security
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, maintain records, respond to inquiries, and comply with legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect the information we maintain, but no website or transmission method is completely secure.
Children's privacy
The site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your choices
You may contact us to request corrections or deletion of information you submitted directly, subject to legal and operational limits. If newsletter emails are added later, users will be able to unsubscribe through the email itself.
California privacy note
California residents may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. If needed, contact us and we will review the request in light of the information we maintain and the legal obligations that apply.

This policy may be updated from time to time. The current version will appear on this page.
