Information You Provide
When you subscribe, we receive your email address, selected jurisdictions, notification choices, and confirmation records. Contact forms include the information you choose to submit. Avoid sending sensitive information that is unrelated to your request. Text alerts are not offered at this time.
Website and Widget Requests
Loading a page or widget sends technical information to the services delivering it, which may include IP address, browser information, requested address, time, and referring website. We use operational records to deliver content, diagnose problems, protect the service, and understand aggregate use. This site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. The widget does not use advertising cookies or build cross-site advertising audiences. To limit abuse of our forms, we store a one-way hash of the submitting IP address rather than the address itself.
Why We Use Information
We use it to provide requested notices, confirm subscriptions, manage preferences and opt-outs, respond to support requests, maintain security, and operate the service. Flag-service signup does not by itself authorize AFP promotional messages. No promotional email option is offered at this time.
Service Providers
Cloudflare hosts this website and its database and protects it against abuse. Resend delivers our email when email features are active. These providers process information to perform their functions under their own terms. We do not publish subscriber lists in our feeds, and we do not submit subscriber information to AI systems.
Retention and Choices
We keep subscriber records while your subscription is active. After you unsubscribe, we keep only the email address and the date you unsubscribed so we do not message you again. Contact messages are kept as long as needed to resolve them and keep a record of corrections. Use the preference and unsubscribe links in service messages to change your choices. Contact [email protected] for an access, deletion, correction, or other privacy request; rights and applicable exceptions depend on your location and the relevant law.
Advertising and External Websites
Official-source and AFP links can take you to other websites with their own policies. If advertising or additional analytics is introduced here, we will update the relevant disclosures and implement applicable choices before activating it. The absence of advertising today is not a promise that the service will never use it.
Changes to This Notice
We update this notice when our practices materially change and identify its effective date. Additional notice will be provided where required. Contact [email protected] with questions.
