Who We Are:

Optional Information:
Survey responses — We may occasionally send surveys asking about your interests, demographics, or preferences. Participation is always voluntary. Survey responses are linked to your beehiiv account and retained for as long as your account is active. Unsubscribing deactivates your account but does not delete it.

We use your information to:

Aggregated Data:
We may create anonymous, aggregated statistics from subscriber data — such as total subscriber count, geographic distribution, or general engagement metrics — to analyze our audience and share insights with potential partners or advertisers. Any data shared with potential advertisers or partners is aggregated and anonymized in a way that cannot be used to identify individual subscribers.
We will never sell, rent, or give away your email address or other personally identifiable information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your subscription data stays with us and beehiiv (our platform provider).

Redwood Current accepts paid advertising from local businesses. Advertisers pay for placement in the newsletter and on our Facebook page. The following applies to all advertising relationships:
Subscriber data is never shared with advertisers. Advertisers receive only aggregate engagement metrics — such as subscriber count, open rates, and click rates — that cannot be used to identify individual subscribers.
Sponsored content is always labeled. Any paid placement in the newsletter or on our website is clearly identified as sponsored.
We collect basic information from advertisers — such as business name, contact information, and payment details — to manage advertising relationships. This information is used solely for that purpose and is not shared with third parties.
Advertising does not influence editorial coverage. Advertisers cannot dictate, suppress, or guarantee newsletter content.
The newsletter and website may contain links to third-party websites, including advertiser websites, event registration pages, and community organization pages. These links are provided for your convenience. Once you leave our site or click a link in the newsletter, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information, including secure data storage and access controls. beehiiv maintains security measures as described in their Privacy Policy. While we strive to protect your personal information, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.
We retain your email address and subscription preferences for as long as your account is active. Survey responses are linked to your beehiiv account and retained for as long as your account is active. Unsubscribing deactivates your account but does not delete it. To request full deletion of your data, contact us at [email protected].
