Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

Hudson Tribune ("we," "us," "our," or "Hudson Tribune") operates the website located at https://hudsontribune.com/ (the "Site"), a U.S.-based news publication. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, submit content, subscribe to updates, or otherwise interact with us. Please read this policy carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact Form Submissions: When you use our Contact & Inquiries page, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you submit.
  • News Tip Submissions: When you use our Submit a News Tip form, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, contact details, and the substance of your tip. You may submit tips anonymously where our form allows it, though this may limit our ability to follow up.
  • Comments: If you post a comment on one of our Newsroom articles, we collect the name, email address, and any other information you choose to include in your comment. Comments are subject to our User Content Policy.
  • Newsletter or Email Sign-Up (if applicable): If you subscribe to updates from Hudson Tribune, we collect your email address for that purpose.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Log Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, and timestamps.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, and serve advertising. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
  • Advertising Data: We work with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, and may display static/direct-sold advertisements. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide targeted advertising. See Section 5 below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our editorial content;
  • Respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact & Inquiries page;
  • Review, verify, and, where appropriate, investigate or report on news tips submitted through our News Tip form;
  • Moderate and publish reader comments in accordance with our User Content Policy;
  • Deliver, measure, and personalize advertising, including through Google AdSense and other ad networks;
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, or technical problems;
  • Comply with legal obligations, including responding to DMCA notices under our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

3. Protection of News Tip Sources

We take the confidentiality of news sources seriously. Information submitted through our Submit a News Tip form is handled with discretion and is accessible only to authorized editorial staff. We do not sell or share source-identifying information with advertisers or unrelated third parties. However, we may be legally compelled to disclose information in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process, and we cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality in all circumstances.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics providers, and other vendors who help us operate the Site.
  • Advertising Partners: Google AdSense and other ad networks, for the purpose of serving and measuring advertisements. See our Advertising Policy for details.
  • Legal and Safety Reasons: When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hudson Tribune, our readers, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Cookies

Hudson Tribune displays advertising through Google AdSense, other third-party advertising networks, and direct-sold static advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. For more information on how we use cookies for advertising, please see our Cookie Policy and Advertising Policy.

6. Your Privacy Rights

6.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions;
  • Correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising);
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

6.2 Other U.S. State Privacy Laws

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws (such as those in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other states). We honor applicable requests consistent with these laws.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no industry-standard approach to honoring them.

7. Children's Privacy

Hudson Tribune is a general news publication intended for adult audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@hudsontribune.com.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with legal, editorial, or source-protection obligations).

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Visitors

Hudson Tribune is based in and operates from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

11. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.
