FL Business Newswire
Tech Intelligent Curation | Not Journalism
Effective Date: April 23, 2026
Last Updated: April 23, 2026
1. Introduction
FL Business Newswire (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Brian French and accessible at https://www.flbusinessnewswire.com (the “Site”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit or interact with our Site, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have.
FL Business Newswire publishes curated technology-assisted coverage of Florida business news, guides, and resources. We describe our approach as “intelligent curation, not journalism,” which means much of our content is compiled and assembled from publicly available sources. This policy covers only our Site — it does not cover third-party websites we may link to.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide voluntarily. If you submit a comment, contact us by email, fill out a form, subscribe to a newsletter, or respond to a survey, you may provide your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the date and time of your visit.
Cookies and similar technologies. The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including those set by WordPress (our content management system) and Google Site Kit, which connects our Site to services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use the Site and improve performance. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly if you do.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the Site, publish and deliver content, respond to inquiries and comments, send newsletters or updates if you have subscribed, analyze aggregated traffic and usage trends to improve our content and user experience, prevent spam, abuse, and security threats, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Third-Party Services
We rely on a limited set of reputable third-party services to operate the Site. These currently include Google Analytics and related Google services (via Google Site Kit) for traffic measurement, our web hosting provider for serving the Site, and, where applicable, email service providers for delivering newsletters. Each of these providers processes information under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. Google’s privacy practices are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Our Site may also embed content from or link to third-party platforms such as YouTube, social networks, or publicly available government portals (for example, hcfl.gov). Interactions with that embedded or linked content are governed by the respective third party’s privacy policy.
5. Advertising
If we display advertising on the Site, ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out at https://optout.aboutads.info or https://youronlinechoices.eu.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share information only in limited circumstances: with service providers that help us run the Site (such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery) under appropriate confidentiality obligations; when required by law, subpoena, or other valid legal process; to protect the rights, property, or safety of FL Business Newswire, our users, or the public; and in connection with a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, in which case we will provide notice before information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your data, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and residents of the EEA and UK have rights under the GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including providing the Site, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Analytics data is typically retained according to the default settings of our analytics providers.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
10. Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

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

Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
