Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 8, 2026
This policy explains what information Cabarrus Insider (“we”), a North Carolina business, collects through cabarrusinsider.com and our email newsletter, and how we use it.
Information we collect
- Newsletter: your email address and the towns you choose.
- Tips and inquiries: the message you send and any contact details you choose to include.
- Usage data: standard server logs and Google Analytics (pages viewed, links clicked, referring site such as Facebook, approximate location by city, device type). See “Analytics and cookies” below.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages and links people use, including clicks on ads and sponsor links so we can report results to advertisers. Google Analytics sets cookies and receives your IP address, browser and device information; we don't send it your name, email or phone number. Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser.
How we use it
- To send the newsletter you asked for, and service messages about it.
- To review tips and follow up if you asked us to.
- To understand which content is useful and keep the site working and secure.
How we share it
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the service (for example: website hosting, our email provider and Google Analytics), under agreements that limit their use to providing services to us, or when required by law.
News content about incidents
Our posts are based on public radio traffic and public records. We do not publish names of people involved in incidents, mugshots, or house numbers. To request a correction or review of a post, email hello@cabarrusinsider.com or see our corrections policy.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from email with the link in any email.
- Ask us to access or delete your information by emailing hello@cabarrusinsider.com.
Retention and security
We keep subscriber information while you are subscribed and for a limited time afterward for consent-record and legal purposes. We use reasonable safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure.
Children
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
We'll post any changes on this page and update the date above.
