Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Saguaro Signal collects, how we use it, and the choices available to you. Last updated August 5, 2026. By using the site, you acknowledge this policy.

Who we are

Saguaro Signal is an Arizona politics publication operated at saguarosignal.com. Questions about this policy can be sent to contact@saguarosignal.com.

Information we collect

  • Newsletter email. If you subscribe, we store the email address you submit so we can send the newsletter and manage your subscription status.
  • Messages you send us. Tips, corrections, and other emails you send to our published addresses include whatever you choose to provide. Do not send information you are not authorized to share. We are not responsible for personal information about third parties that you voluntarily include in a message.
  • Basic technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard request information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, referrer, and timestamps. We use this for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.

We do not knowingly require more personal information than needed to operate the newsletter and respond to messages you initiate.

How we use information

  • To deliver and operate the newsletter.
  • To respond to tips, corrections, and other inquiries.
  • To keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and diagnose problems.
  • To understand aggregate traffic patterns when such logs are available from our host.
  • To comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, safety, and integrity of the site and others.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use newsletter emails for third-party advertising lists.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers who help us host the site, send email, store data, or secure systems, solely as needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, legal process, or government request, or is necessary to protect rights, safety, or security. If the publication is transferred or reorganized, information may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this policy or a successor notice.

Cookies and tracking

We do not run a third-party advertising network on the site. The site may use cookies or similar storage that are necessary for basic site function or that our hosting platform sets for security and performance. If we add analytics or other tracking later, we will update this page. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect site function.

Images on the site

Article and site images are, to the best of our ability, Creative Commons or similarly licensed works, public-domain works, or AI-generated illustrations, often with on-page credit. Displaying an image does not mean we collect biometric or identity data from visitors about people depicted in those images. Image sourcing and licensing questions are addressed in our Terms of Use.

Outside links and syndicated headlines

Our homepage and coverage may include headlines, excerpts, and links from outside publishers. Following those links takes you to another site with its own privacy practices. Saguaro Signal does not control and is not responsible for the privacy policies, content, or practices of those publishers or any other third-party site.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and are not liable for unauthorized access, interception, loss, or alteration of information beyond our reasonable control, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Retention

Newsletter emails are kept while the subscription is active and for a reasonable period after unsubscribe or inactivity so we can honor suppression requests and prevent accidental re-adds. Tip and correction emails are retained as needed for editorial, legal, and operational records. Server logs are retained according to our hosting provider's ordinary practices. We may retain information longer when required by law or needed to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

Your choices

  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any newsletter email, or by contacting us.
  • Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by emailing contact@saguarosignal.com.

We may need to verify the request. We may decline or limit a request when permitted by law, including when information is needed for legal, security, editorial-record, or operational reasons, or when the request is unfounded or excessive.

Children

Saguaro Signal is a general-audience news site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have done so, contact us and we will delete it promptly where required.

International visitors

The site is operated from the United States and intended primarily for a U.S. audience. If you access it from elsewhere, you understand that information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

No warranty; limitation

This policy describes our practices in good faith. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and our handling of information are provided without warranties beyond those we are legally required to provide, and our liability related to privacy or data incidents is limited as set out in our Terms of Use.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy. If changes are material, we may also provide additional notice when practical.
