The Good News is a small, independently run reading site. This page explains, in plain language, what information is collected when you visit and how it is used.
The Good News is operated by an independent publisher. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can reach us any time at peakautumn.social@gmail.com. We are also happy to answer questions through our Contact page.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask you for your name, email address, or any other personal detail in order to read the site. We do not run newsletters or sign-up forms.
Like most websites, our hosting and content-delivery systems automatically record standard technical information when a page is served — such as your browser type, general device information, and a shortened or anonymized network address. This is used only to keep the site running, secure, and fast.
The Good News displays advertising to support the cost of running the site. We use Google AdSense to serve these ads.
Where required by law, ads shown to you will be non-personalized until you provide consent. Non-personalized ads still use cookies to combat fraud and for basic frequency capping and aggregated reporting, but not to build a profile of you.
Some tiles on The Good News are affiliate links, including links to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, The Good News earns from qualifying purchases. If you click one of these links and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only ever link to things we think fit the spirit of the site, and affiliate links are marked as a paid link on the tile.
We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages are popular. This information is looked at in aggregate and is not used to identify individual readers.
Much of the writing and imagery on The Good News is generated with the help of artificial intelligence and curated by a human publisher. It is intended as light, wholesome, general-interest reading. It does not collect anything from you in the process of being generated.
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized advertising using the links above. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading the site.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
