Who this policy covers

This policy applies when you read Thompson Bulletin articles, visit our websites, use our news app, contact us, or interact with our messages. It covers information linked to your account, device, or communication with us.

What we collect

We collect only the details needed to provide news updates and keep the service working.

  • Account details such as your email address and notification preferences.
  • Technical details such as device type, app version, browser, approximate location, and security logs.
  • Messages and feedback you send to Thompson Bulletin.

Why we use information

Thompson Bulletin uses information to publish and personalize daily news updates, deliver account notices, respond to support requests, measure article and app performance, prevent misuse, and meet legal obligations. We use aggregated or de-identified information for reporting and service planning when it no longer identifies you.

We do not use your reading activity to make decisions about your eligibility for employment, credit, housing, insurance, or public benefits.

When information is shared

We share information with service providers that host systems, send notices, analyze performance, or protect our service. They may use it only for the work we assign. We may also disclose information when required by law, needed to protect people or property, or involved in a business change.

Manage your privacy settings

You can adjust app notifications, update account details, or ask us to review, correct, or remove information we hold about you. You may also object to certain uses where applicable law provides that right. Some records must remain for legal, security, or transaction reasons.

How long we keep data

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security records, and meet legal requirements. We use access controls and operational safeguards, though no internet service can promise complete security.

Clear notice

We explain collection and use in plain language, including when a feature needs additional information.

Practical controls

Notification settings and account requests give you a direct way to manage your relationship with the app.

Careful access

Access to reader information is limited to people and providers who need it for defined service work.

Questions about your data?

Send a privacy request and include the email or account detail that helps us locate your records. We’ll ask for reasonable confirmation before making changes.
