Privacy Notice

Last updated: June 3, 2026

This Privacy Notice describes the information collection, use, retention, and sharing practices of Straight Arrow News LLC and its affiliates (“Straight Arrow”, “SAN”, “we”, “us”, “our”) when you interact with us through our website, mobile applications, newsletters, user accounts, registration walls, subscription offerings, or other digital products on which this Privacy Notice appears (collectively, the “Sites”) and when you otherwise interact with us offline, such as when you contact us via telephone or by other offline means (collectively, the “Services”).

As used in this Privacy Notice, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person. Personal information includes “personal data”, as such term is defined under applicable data privacy laws.

Our Role in Data Processing

To the extent the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Regulation (EU) 2016/679, and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”) apply (collectively referred to in this Privacy Notice as “EU or UK data protection laws”), the entity responsible for the collection and use (processing) of your personal data is Straight Arrow News LLC, the data controller. You can contact at privacy@straightarrownews.com or by mailing a letter to: 9140 West Dodge St, Omaha NE 68114.

As a US based entity, we collect the data directly from the United States and so there is no cross-border transfer of personal information. However, we still apply reasonable safeguards to protect such personal information from unauthorized access or use, such as by implementing technical, administrative, and organizational measures and processing the Personal Information in compliance with the law and with the provisions of this Privacy Notice.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where data protection laws acknowledges or requires “consent” as the primary or most suitable legal basis for processing personal information, your agreement or continued use of the Services and the Sites, along with your acceptance of our Terms and Conditions will constitute your consent to the collection and processing purposes described in this Privacy Notice. This applies whether the requirement for consent as a legal basis is general, based on the types of personal data you choose to provide through the Services, or due to the nature of the processing itself. If at any point you wish to withdraw your consent, you can do so by contacting us at privacy@straightarrownews.com.

We collect personal information as you engage with our Services, including when you:

We use this information to respond to your questions or inquiries and to troubleshoot where necessary. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for the processing of this information is that it is necessary for the performance of the service requested by you.

If we offer a program that allows you to refer family and friends to subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise engage with the Services, we may collect your email address and other information reasonably necessary to administer the program, track referrals or points, and fulfill any rewards or benefits you choose to redeem. To the extent we offer reward fulfillment, we may collect, directly or through service providers, information such as your name and mailing address to administer and deliver rewards. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract or our legitimate interests in operating the program.

Create an Account or Register to Continue Reading

When you use our Services, registration may not be required for all features. However, some features, including access beyond any article meter, account syncing across devices, and subscriptions, may require you to create or use an account.

When you create an account, register to continue reading, or otherwise identify yourself to access content on our Sites or apps, we collect, from you, personal identifiers such as your email address and any other information you choose to provide (such as zipcode or content categories). We also collect account, authentication, and usage information, such as the date and time you register or sign in, the magic links or other passwordless authentication messages we send, device or browser information associated with account access, and information used to administer article meters, access rules, and content entitlements. We use this information to create and maintain your account, authenticate you, send login links or other service messages, recognize you across our Sites and apps, administer metered access and registration benefits and communicate with you about your account. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. We also use this information to help detect or prevent fraud and misuse. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services, including by tailoring your experience and presenting content aligned with your interests.

Email Pixel Tracking:

We, through our service provider, use tracking pixels to determine whether you open emails, the time of opening, information about the device you use (including IP address), whether you interacted with the email, the topic of the email, whether it was delivered, sender and recipient addresses. We use this information to: (1) measure the effectiveness of our communications and make them more attractive, particularly by improving email subject lines; and (2) personalize communications based on your interest in received emails and interaction with them. This personalization includes: adapting message content, adjusting sending frequency or communication channel and optimizing campaigns based on reactions (e.g., adjusting email subject lines).

Interact With Us on Social Media

When you interact with our social media pages on social networking websites, such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok (each a “Social Media Page” and collectively, “Social Media Pages”), we collect basic engagement metrics and use it to tailor content and marketing and use it to improve user experience as set forth in this section. Please note that we do not control the use or storage of the information that you have posted to any social networking websites. This information is collected and processed by the social networking websites for their own purposes, including marketing. For more information on how Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok use your personal information, please see Facebook’s Privacy Policy, X’s Privacy Policy, LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy, Instagram’s Privacy Policy, YouTube’s Privacy Policy, and TikTok’s Privacy Policy.

Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok (the “Social Networks”) process personal information in the USA where the laws may be less protective than in your country of residence. For example, in accordance with U.S. laws, in certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.

Social Media Pages

When interacting with our Social Media Pages, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (first and last name) and visual information (photograph (i.e., profile picture)), as well as any information that you provide when interacting with our Social Media Pages (e.g., commenting, sharing, and rating). We use this information to advertise our products, for events and invitations, and to communicate with users via the contribution and comment function. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in advertising our products via our Social Media Pages and communicating with users, customers, and interested parties. Because our Social Media Pages are publicly accessible, when you use them to interact with other users, for example by posting, leaving comments or liking or sharing posts, any personal information that you post in them or provide when registering can be viewed by others or used by them as they see fit. The content posted on our Social Media Pages or other public areas of social networking websites can be deleted in the same way as other content that you have created. If at any time you want content posted to be deleted, please email your request to us at privacy@straightarrownews.com.

Community Management

We collect, from you, your contact, including “likes”, shares, messages and other interactions with the content, in order to analyze and evaluate how our content is perceived, to learn from it, and to improve our public relations efforts. To the extent the EU and UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for analyzing your content is our legitimate interest in organizing, facilitating, and optimizing communication with our users and the general public. If you object to this processing of your personal information and believe you have an overriding interest, you can submit your objection via email to privacy@straightarrownews.com.

Page Insights

When you visit our Social Media Page, the applicable Social Network records your IP address and other information about your usage behavior on our Social Media Page. The Social Network collects this information through trackers in the browser of your device or via the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google), when you open the Social Network app through your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). The Social Network uses this information to provide us with statistical evaluations of the use of our Social Media Page. We receive this information directly from the Social Network, in the form of aggregated data and anonymous statistics regarding certain data points, such as: age; gender; city/country; device; inquiries from fans about other Social Media Pages; region and language settings of the users; proportion of men and women; the number of people reached; clicks on posts, “likes” and reactions; comments and shared content; and total video views. We use this information to analyze and improve the advertising campaigns we conduct through our Social Media Pages. We do not collect or process any other personal information in connection with Social Network “Page Insights” function.

To the extent the EU and UK data protection laws apply, we are joint controllers with the Social Network for this processing. For the purpose of the EU and UK data protection laws, the legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in statistical evaluation of users on our Social Media Page for the improvement and adjustment of our advertising measures based on the information collected. If you object to this processing of your personal information and believe you have an overriding interest, you can submit your objection via email to privacy@straightarrownews.com.

We do not retain this information independently. For information on data protection and the storage period on the Social Network in relation to its Insights function, see the Social Network privacy policy linked above. It has been contractually agreed with the Social Network that the Social Network is responsible for providing you with information about the processing for Page Insights.

Information Processed Solely by Social Networks

We do not know how the Social Networks use personal information for their own purposes, how long the personal information is stored on the Social Networks or whether the Social Networks’ data is passed on to third parties. If you are currently logged in to a Social Network as a user, the Social Network automatically collects, through trackers on your device, your Social Network ID or a link between the Social Network ID and the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google) when you open the Social Network app through your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). This enables the Social Network to understand that you have visited our Social Media Page along with other social media pages that you have clicked on, whether you clicked on Social Network buttons integrated into websites that partner with the Social Network, and other online interactions that report user data to the Social Network. Based on this data, content or advertising tailored to you can be offered. You can find more information about the personal information collected by Social Networks, how it is used and how long it is stored by visiting the Social Network’s privacy policies, linked above.

Interact With the Sites

In addition to the personal information you provide directly to us, we also collect information from you automatically as you use our Sites via cookies, pixels, web beacons, SDKs, and similar tracking technologies. These technologies may also be used to remember whether you are signed in, administer article meters, registration walls, and subscription entitlements, maintain your preferences, and help protect against fraud or misuse. If you are located in the EU or UK, trackers that are deemed non-essential will not deploy (i.e. collect your information) unless you provide your consent. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply, the legal basis for the placement and access of strictly necessary cookies is the performance of a contract. These cookies are necessary to provide the Sites to you. To the extent the EU or UK data protection laws apply to placement of non-essential cookies on the Sites, the legal basis for this processing is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect moving forward by visiting Your Privacy Choices.

We use essential, performance, marketing, and analytics cookies to automatically collect certain internet and other electronic network activity information when you interact with the Sites. This includes things like Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), location, device type, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Sites that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. We use this information to: (i) track you within the Sites; (ii) enhance user experience; (iii) conduct analytics to improve the Sites; (iv) prevent fraudulent use of the Sites; (v) diagnose and repair Sites errors, and, in cases of abuse, track and mitigate the abuse; and (vi) market to you more effectively across different web pages and social media platforms based on your browsing habits and history.

Third party marketing and analytics cookies may be considered sale or sharing (i.e. disclosure for targeted advertising purposes) under state data privacy laws. To opt out, please visit Your Privacy Choices. If we detect an opt-out preference signal (such as the Global Privacy Control signal) communicated from your (or your authorized agent’s) browser or device, we will treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale/sharing of your personal information as it pertains to that browser or device (including any associated profile information). If we can associate the opt-out signal with you (for example, if the signal is sent when you are logged-in to your account), we will also treat the signal as an opt-out request pertaining to other browsers or devices that you use to access the Services, including any offline sale or sharing of personal information.

If you are a resident of one of the states identified above and wish to exercise your privacy rights, you may submit a request by email at privacy@straightarrownews.com. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your data through cookies or the processing of your personal information for purposes of targeted advertising, please visit Your Privacy Choices. If we detect an opt-out preference signal (such as the Global Privacy Control signal) communicated from your (or your authorized agent’s) browser or device, we will treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale/sharing of your personal information as it pertains to that browser or device (including any associated profile information). If we can associate the opt-out signal with you (for example, if the signal is sent when you are logged-in to your account), we will also treat the signal as an opt-out request pertaining to other browsers or devices that you use to access the Services, including any offline sale or sharing of personal information.

When submitting a request to know/access, correct, or delete your personal information, you must provide us with sufficient information, including your email address, that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected the personal information and describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly evaluate and respond to it. In doing so, we will take steps to verify your request by matching information provided by you with the information we have in our records. If we are not able to verify your identity for know/access, correction, or deletion requests with the information provided, we may ask you to provide additional information, if applicable.

Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a request related to your personal information. If you are an authorized agent making a request on behalf of another individual, you must provide us with signed documentation that you are authorized to act on behalf of that individual.
