1. What Information We Collect
 

1.1 Information you give us
 

We collect information when you:

• Make an account or log in;

• Place an order, buy a gift card, or manage a subscription;

• Sign up for or RSVP to an event;

• Contact us or ask about advertising, business spotlights, or broadcast partnerships;

• Call or email us;

• Comment on or share our blogs, videos, or editorials;

• Submit a business listing, editorial feature, or charity request.

This can include your name, email, phone number, address, payment details, business information, and anything else you choose to share with us.
 

1.2 Information collected automatically
 

When you visit our site, we automatically pick up some technical details, like:

• Your IP address, browser, device, and operating system;

• Which pages you view, links you click, and how long you stay;

• Your rough location, based on your IP address;

• Cookies and similar tracking tools (more on this in Section 4).
   

1.3 Information from other sources

If you interact with us on Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube — like following or commenting on our pages — those platforms may share some information with us. Our payment processor also shares details needed to complete a purchase or subscription.

​

2. How We Use Your Information
 

We use your information to:

• Run and improve the site, broadcasts, videos, editorials, and blogs;

• Set up your account and handle orders, gift cards, subscriptions, and event sign-ups;

• Respond when you reach out, including about advertising or partnerships;

• Send order confirmations, and newsletters if you've opted in;

• Understand how people use our content and how well our advertisers' features perform;

• Spot and prevent fraud or misuse;

• Meet our legal obligations.
   

3. When We Share Your Information

We don't sell your personal information. We only share it in these situations:

• With service providers — like our website platform (Wix), payment processor, email tool, and analytics providers — who help us run the site;

• With advertisers or business partners, if you've asked about a listing, spotlight, or partnership, so we can set that up;

• With social platforms like Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube, if you interact with us there — they handle your data under their own policies;

• When the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users, or the public;

• If Echo News is ever sold, merged, or restructured, in which case information may transfer as part of that deal.
   

4. Cookies

Our site runs on Wix, which uses cookies to keep core features working, remember your preferences, keep the site secure, and give us basic analytics on visitors. We may also use analytics or advertising cookies to see how our traffic and ad placements are performing.

You can turn off or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features — like logging in, your cart, or subscriptions — may stop working properly if you do.
 

5. Other Websites and Platforms

Our site links to and shows content from other platforms — YouTube for our broadcasts and videos, plus Facebook, TikTok, and advertiser or partner websites. We don't control what those sites do with your information, so it's worth checking their own privacy policies too.
 

6. How Long We Keep Information

We keep your information for as long as we need it to run the site, provide our services, meet legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Account and order details are generally kept while your account is active, plus a bit longer after that.
 

7. Your Choices

Depending on where you live, you may be able to:

• See, correct, or update the information we have about you;

• Ask us to delete your information, with some legal exceptions;

• Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime, using the link in the email or by contacting us;

• Object to or limit how we use your information, where the law allows it.

To use any of these options, just contact us using the details in Section 11 and we'll get back to you.
 

8. Children's Privacy

Our site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If we find out we've collected information from a child under 13 by mistake, we'll delete it. If you think this has happened, please let us know.
 

9. Keeping Your Information Safe

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access or misuse. That said, no online system is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute protection.
 

10. Visitors Outside the U.S.

We're based in New York, United States. If you're visiting from outside the U.S., your information may be stored and processed here or in other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different privacy laws than your own.

12. Changes to This Policy
