Information you share directly

When you contact Valley Times, submit a news tip, send an event, place a notice, request advertising information, or subscribe to updates, you may choose to provide personal details such as your name, contact information, organization details, and the content of your message.

Site and usage information

Like most websites, Valley Times may receive standard usage information connected to site operation, performance, security, and reader experience. This may include device, browser, page, and interaction details used to keep the site functioning and to understand how people use it.

How information is used

Information may be used to respond to inquiries, review submissions, publish content you request us to post, support subscriptions, provide advertising follow-up, improve site experience, and maintain the site responsibly.

How information is shared

Valley Times does not need to share personal information broadly to run the site. Information may be shared only where it is necessary to operate site functions, process a request, support publication workflows, or meet legal obligations.
