Louisiana Wire Post ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit louisianawirepost.com (the "Site").

1. About This Policy

Louisiana Wire Post is an independently operated digital news and press release platform serving New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and the broader Pelican State. We aim to be transparent about our data practices.

2. Data We Collect

Server-Side Data: Our servers automatically log technical details such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps of each visit.

Press Bureau Data: When you file a release via our API, we store the details you provide — contact name, email, organization, and content. This data is used only for publishing and crediting your submission.

3. How We Use Data

We use collected data to (a) operate and improve the platform; (b) publish filed releases; (c) display third-party news headlines; (d) monitor usage; (e) troubleshoot; and (f) respond to inquiries. We never sell your personal data.

4. Third-Party Services

We aggregate headlines from publicly available news feeds via the MediaStack news API, keyword-filtered for Louisiana relevance. Each headline links to the original article. We do not collect or transmit visitor data to source publishers or MediaStack.

5. Cookies

The Site may use cookies for essential functionality and analytics. These do not store personally identifiable information. You may adjust cookies in your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

Filed press releases remain on the platform unless the filer requests removal. Server logs are purged after 90 days.

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to access, update, or delete personal data. Contact press@louisianawirepost.statesyncrecordermedia.com for such requests.
