Operator: The Ridge Report / ridgereport.news
We keep this short. Here is what we collect and why.
The site
When you browse ridgereport.news, our host (Ghost) and related infrastructure may process standard server logs (IP, user agent, pages requested) to operate and secure the site.
Newsletter
If you subscribe, Ghost stores your email and membership status so we can send trade news. You can unsubscribe anytime via the link in any email or the member portal.
Forms & applications
Contact tips, Contractor Spotlight, and Product Spotlight forms are submitted via Web3Forms (web3forms.com) and delivered to our editor inbox. We use what you send to respond, evaluate features, and follow up. Do not submit sensitive personal data you do not want emailed.
Analytics
We may add privacy-respecting analytics later to understand aggregate traffic. If we do, this page will be updated.
Cookies
Ghost may set cookies needed for membership login, portal, and site function. We do not sell personal data.
Your requests
To ask about access, correction, or deletion of newsletter or form data, contact us via the Contact & Tip Line or email the desk through that form.
We may update this policy; the effective date above will change when we do.
