Martindale News Policies.

The Martindale News treats its readers fairly and openly. We are a source of nonpolitical and nonbiased information in Martindale, Texas. We aim to tell the complete truth both in print and online. When we make mistakes, we correct them as soon as we know.

We treat readers the same way in private as in public. Anyone who talks to readers must remember that our readers are like our bosses. We should always be polite, whether in person, on the phone, by letter, or online. We should not ignore letters and emails that need a reply. Readers, subscribers, advertisers and others who interact with Martindale News should hold us accountable to that policy.

Staff members who copy others’ work without providing adequate credit or provide false information or convey as fact information that is actually an opinion break our trust with readers. When we share our editorial opinions or those of our readers, we will make it explicit. We will not accept behaviors that violate our policies.

The Martindale News intends to provide community information, events, resources and activities. The goal is to provide non-biased, factual information except when otherwise clearly specified.

The information we provide to readers aims to improve community education, information and participation. We are not interested in presenting any political or social agenda. If our readers find information we have not specified as an opinion or editorial column to be political in nature, contact the newspaper at editor@martindalenews.com, complete the contact form on many of our webpages, or catch me in town and let me know.

(Here’s what I look like–I am the one on the right in red. Laura Sanchez Fowler)

The Martindale News collects information to share that helps our readers. Staff members cannot use their position at Martindale News to ask questions for other reasons. They should not use or share information for personal gain that they learned from their work for the newspaper or from other community position(s) that isn’t yet available to readers. They should not share information that was conveyed under confidentiality when the intention for privacy or confidentiality was made explicit at time it was shared.

It is fundamental to our mission that the reader trusts our content and that the community sees us as an ally and supporter.

Here’s all the legal chatter.

The links in the table of contents will cut through it and take you to the specific part you want to know about. If you want to just talk to a human, get in touch with me and I’ll explain it in plain old English. I’m sorry for getting all technical and what-not, but this will be the only part that’s that way. I couldn’t help myself. I have a law degree and felt obligated to protect your rights and mine, because like I said, this is a locally-focused, small-town, electronic “newspaper” to help out with spreading information and improving communication in town and for anybody who wants to come visit…but I am not an ACTUAL journalist or editor and this really isn’t an ACTUAL newspaper. So I want to make sure every thing is transparent. Including my policies.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide Martindale News to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can’t identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never kept on file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to Martindale News or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

Martindale News is incorporated in United States. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is the information collected through the Martindale News Service secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I update or correct my information?

The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Martindale News collects depend on your relationship with Martindale News. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We may be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to explain exactly how and why is this data collected, and how we maintain this data under protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their personal data.

The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.

What is personal data?

Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

Why is GDPR important?

GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’ personal data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it’s simply the right thing to do. At Martindale News we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.

Individual Data Subject’s Rights – Data Access, Portability and Deletion

We are committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Martindale News processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.

We are aware that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We got you! We’ve been set up as self-service from the start and have always given you access to your data and your customers data. Our customer support team is here for you to answer any questions you might have about working with the API.
