Greensboro Vibe (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes a local wellness and lifestyle magazine at greensborovibe.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We have tried to keep it in plain language rather than legal boilerplate.
Information We Collect Automatically
Like nearly every website, our hosting provider records standard server log information each time a page is requested. That typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page you requested, and the date and time of the request. This information is used to keep the site secure, diagnose technical problems, and understand aggregate traffic patterns. It is not used to build a profile of you as an individual, and we do not sell it.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies — small text files stored by your browser — for basic functionality such as remembering display preferences and maintaining security protections provided by our host. If we use analytics software to measure how many people read a given article, that software may also set cookies. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work, though some conveniences may not persist between visits.
Comments and Contact
Comments are currently closed across the site, so we are not collecting commenter names, email addresses, or IP addresses. If you email us directly, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message and use it only to respond to you. We do not add correspondents to a mailing list without their explicit request.
Embedded Content From Other Sites
Articles on this site link to the websites of local businesses, and may occasionally include embedded content such as maps, videos, or social media posts. Embedded content from another website behaves exactly as if you had visited that website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
How We Handle Business Listings
We write about local businesses using publicly available information — their websites, published hours, publicly listed services, and public directory entries. We do not accept payment in exchange for coverage or for a more favorable description. If you own or represent a business we have written about and something is inaccurate or out of date, contact us and we will correct or remove it.
Who We Share Information With
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Information may be handled by the service providers that make the site function — our web host and, where applicable, our analytics provider — strictly so they can deliver those services to us. We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained by our host for a limited period as part of normal operations and then rotated out. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle the matter it concerns.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Because this site does not require accounts and does not collect personal information beyond what is described above, in most cases we will hold very little. To make a request, contact us using the address below.
Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
If our practices change — for example, if we add a newsletter, reopen comments, or begin running advertising — we will update this page to reflect that. The date below indicates when this policy was last revised.
