This Privacy Policy explains what information Montana Politics collects when you subscribe to our updates or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect only what we need and to handle it responsibly.

Information we collect

When you subscribe, we collect the information you provide in the form — which may include your first and last name, email address, an optional phone number, and your general location (such as your city or county). We also automatically record basic technical details with each submission, such as your IP address and browser type, to help prevent abuse and understand where our readers are.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to send you the newsletters and updates you signed up for, to understand our readership in general terms, and to respond to messages you send us. We do not sell your personal information.

Email and messaging

If you subscribe, you will receive email updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. If you provide a phone number, it may be used to contact you about coverage you have signed up for; you may ask us to stop at any time.

Data retention and security

We keep subscriber information for as long as you remain subscribed, and we remove or anonymize it on request. We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

You may unsubscribe, request a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. To make any of these requests, email editor@montanapolitics.org.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
