Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Legal News Report (“Legal News Report,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit legalnewsreport.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Newsletter sign-ups. When you subscribe to The Legal Brief, we collect your email address.
  • Contact form and email. When you contact us, we collect your name, email address, the topic you choose, and the content of your message.
  • News tips. When you submit a tip, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, contact details, and documents or descriptions you share.

Please do not send us sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, health information, or confidential details about a legal case. We are a news publication, not a law firm, and messages you send us are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, our servers and service providers may automatically collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, the website that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We may collect this information using cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

How we use information

  • To send The Legal Brief and other emails you have requested
  • To respond to your messages, corrections, and tips
  • To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site
  • To understand how readers use the Site, such as which articles are most read
  • To evaluate and report on news tips, consistent with our editorial standards
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and the rights of others

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these situations:

  • Service providers. We use companies that help us run the Site and our newsletter, such as our website hosting provider, and our email newsletter platform. They may process information on our behalf only to provide their services.
  • Legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe disclosure is needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of Legal News Report, our readers, or others.
  • Business transfers. If Legal News Report is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • With your consent. We may share information in other ways if you ask us to or agree to it.

We protect the identity of people who send us news tips. We will not publish your name or contact details without your permission, except where required by law.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. The Site may use cookies that are necessary for it to work, and cookies that help us understand how the Site is used. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

Advertising

The Site may display advertising, and advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance. Advertisers do not influence our editorial content, and sponsored content is always labeled. You can learn about and opt out of some interest-based advertising at optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org.

Your choices

  • Cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
  • Access, correction, and deletion. You can ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you by emailing contact@legalnewsreport.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws. If you contact us to exercise a privacy right, we may need to verify your identity before responding.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as keeping you on our newsletter list until you unsubscribe or keeping correspondence as long as needed to respond and maintain our records, unless a longer period is required by law.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

Our articles link to courts, government agencies, and other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be announced on the Site or in our newsletter.
