We collect information in several ways, including data that is automatically gathered through analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which may include IP address, device type, browser information, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. We also collect user-submitted information when individuals leave comments on articles, which may include name, email address, and any information shared voluntarily in the comment field. If donations or contributions are made through Google Reader Revenue Manager, limited transaction information is collected and processed by Google. We do not store full financial or payment information on our servers. Additionally, the Site may contain affiliate links, which allow us to earn commission at no extra cost to the user.
This Site uses cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to analyze traffic, improve user experience, and serve advertisements through Google AdSense and other third-party platforms. Users may disable cookies through their browser, but doing so may limit functionality. We also display advertisements and affiliate content, and we may receive compensation when users click links or make purchases. Advertising partners and affiliate networks may also use tracking tools to deliver relevant content.
We embed third-party content such as Facebook Live videos, TikTok clips, YouTube videos, Instagram posts, and other external media. These platforms may collect data according to their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. Some content on this Site may also be partially or fully generated using artificial intelligence tools for editorial, illustrative, or creative use. All AI-assisted content is reviewed before publication, but may not always reflect real-world events with complete accuracy.
At this time, The New Real STL News LLC does not operate a user login system or collect email subscriptions. If these features are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly, and users will be notified. This Site is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
We do not sell or rent personal data. Information may be shared only with trusted third-party partners such as Google (for analytics, donations, or advertising), affiliate networks, or legal authorities if required by law. Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your data, including the right to request access, deletion, correction, or to opt out of targeted advertising or data sharing.

We take reasonable security measures to protect user data; however, no online system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. This Privacy Policy may be updated at any time, and the “Last Updated” date will always reflect the most recent revision.
