Goodwill Ambassadors Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy at Goodwill Ambassador News

This Privacy Policy explains how Goodwill Ambassador News and the Goodwill Ambassador Association handle reader information. Our rule is simple: we collect the minimum information needed to operate a modern publication, we do not sell reader information, and we do not share reader information with data brokers, advertising exchanges, lead generators, or unrelated marketers.

Reader privacy, cookie transparency, analytics disclosure, and subscriber trust.

This policy is written for readers in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions with privacy or consumer-protection rules. It works together with our Terms and Conditions, Contact page, and Publishing Principles, Policies, and Standards.

Plain-Language Summary

What most readers want to know

  1. We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, trade, broker, or transfer reader lists for commercial resale.
  2. We do not build private identity profiles about casual readers. Public pages may be read without sending us your name.
  3. We use Google/Blogger services to operate the site. These services may place cookies for hosting, analytics, consent, security, and subscription features.
  4. Subscriptions require contact data. If you subscribe, your email or account information is used to deliver what you requested.
  5. Analytics are used for publication quality. We measure traffic to understand what pages are read and whether the site performs correctly.
  6. You have choices. You can use browser cookie controls, unsubscribe links, Google privacy controls, or contact us directly.

We publish this policy because privacy is part of reader trust. A reader should be able to understand what is collected, why it is used, who provides the technology, and how to contact us with questions.

Who We Are and Scope

Publication and publisher

This Privacy Policy applies to Goodwill Ambassador News at https://www.goodwillambassador.org/, including its static pages, posts, archives, embedded page modules, subscription tools, and reader contact pathways. The publication is operated by the Goodwill Ambassador Association.

This policy does not control third-party websites that we link to, official source pages we cite, social platforms, government sites, United Nations pages, or external services that you choose to visit outside this website.

Information We Do Not Sell or Share

No sale, no rental, no data-broker sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or disclose reader personal information to data brokers, list brokers, lead-generation services, advertising exchanges, unrelated marketers, or private organizations seeking to target readers outside the purpose of this publication.

Limited service-provider processing

Some information may be processed by Google/Blogger or other necessary service providers to host the site, deliver pages, measure traffic, prevent abuse, maintain security, manage consent, or provide subscription services. This is service-provider processing, not a sale of reader information by us.

What We Collect

Information you provide

  1. Email address: if you subscribe, contact us, request updates, or send documentation.
  2. Message contents: if you email, text, submit corrections, ask questions, or send records.
  3. Supporting documents: if you voluntarily send source materials, title evidence, images, or correction documentation.
  4. Identity details you choose to provide: such as your name, role, organization, appointment, or public title when relevant to your request.

Information processed automatically

Hosting, security, analytics, and platform services may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate region, referral source, pages viewed, page performance, interaction events, consent status, and error signals. We use this information for operation, analytics, reliability, and security rather than reader identity profiling.

We do not ask casual readers to submit government identification, full payment card details, sensitive medical data, or private identity documents merely to read public pages.

How We Use Information

Publication-focused uses

  1. Operate the website: deliver pages, prevent abuse, maintain performance, and secure the platform.
  2. Send requested updates: deliver newsletters or subscription notices when you subscribe.
  3. Respond to messages: answer privacy questions, correction requests, technical reports, or editorial submissions.
  4. Improve publication quality: review aggregate traffic patterns, page performance, and readership signals.
  5. Maintain the public record: process documentation, corrections, source evidence, or profile-review requests.
  6. Comply with law: respond to valid legal obligations if required.

We do not use reader contact information for unrelated marketing. We do not sell reader lists. We do not use submitted documents for purposes unrelated to the request unless required by law or necessary to protect the publication, readers, or the public record.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We do not intentionally place data-broker tags, social-media tracking pixels, third-party behavioral advertising scripts, or non-Google marketing cookies. If you notice a cookie or script that appears inconsistent with this policy, please contact us.

Analytics and Traffic Measurement

What analytics does

Analytics helps us understand the publication as a website: which pages are read, whether readers arrive from search or links, whether pages load correctly, and what content needs improvement. We use analytics for editorial quality, technical reliability, and audience understanding at a publication level.

Google Analytics

When Google Analytics is enabled, Google may process measurement data for website owners using Google measurement products. Google publishes information about Analytics data safeguards and user privacy options. Readers may use browser controls, Google account controls, and Google-supported opt-out tools where available.

Subscriptions and Google Publisher Tools

Subscriber information

If you subscribe to updates, newsletters, or reader services, the information needed to deliver that subscription may be processed by Google or other service providers used for publication delivery. We use subscriber information to deliver what you requested, manage subscriptions, respond to subscriber questions, and maintain service records.

Subscribe with Google

Goodwill Ambassador News may use Subscribe with Google or related Google publisher features. These tools may use cookies or browser storage to recognize subscriber status, process access, support publisher distribution, or remember user choices. Use of those tools is also subject to Google’s privacy and service terms.

Embedded Content and Iframes

Embedded content behaves like its provider

Some pages may embed Google Workspace files, YouTube videos, maps, forms, or other public resources. When you load or interact with an embed, the provider may receive technical information and may place cookies or browser storage. Where practical, we provide a link to the original source so you can choose whether to open it.

Embedded public documents, maps, videos, and forms are used for accessibility, documentation, source review, or reader convenience. We do not control third-party providers’ privacy practices.

Third Parties and Service Providers

Who may process information

Google/Blogger may process information as part of hosting, security, analytics, publishing, consent, subscription, or embedded-content services. We may also use ordinary email, communications, or hosting support services to respond to correspondence. These providers are used to operate the publication and deliver requested services, not to sell reader information.

Data Retention

Keep what is needed, not more

We keep reader correspondence, correction requests, source submissions, and subscription information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose involved, including delivery of requested services, editorial review, legal compliance, security, and preservation of the publishing record. Analytics retention is controlled through the relevant Google analytics settings.

If you unsubscribe, we stop sending subscription emails. A minimal suppression record may remain in a mailing system to make sure your unsubscribe choice is honored.

Security

Reasonable safeguards

We rely on Blogger/Google infrastructure and reasonable editorial-office practices to protect the site and correspondence. No website, email system, or internet transmission is perfectly secure. Do not send highly sensitive documents through ordinary email unless you understand the risk or have asked us about safer delivery options.

Your Choices

Practical privacy controls

  1. Browser controls: block, delete, or limit cookies in your browser.
  2. Consent controls: use the cookie notice or consent tool where one is presented.
  3. Google controls: use Google privacy controls or Google Analytics opt-out tools where available.
  4. Unsubscribe: use unsubscribe links in email updates or contact us directly.
  5. Embeds: do not load embedded content if you do not want the provider to process technical information.
  6. Contact us: ask privacy questions or make a request through the Contact page.

EU, UK, EEA, Swiss, and Similar Rights

European-style privacy rights

If you are located in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or a similar privacy jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, withdraw consent, and request portability, depending on the data and context.

Lawful bases in plain language

  1. Consent: used where required for non-essential cookies, analytics, or subscription communications.
  2. Legitimate interests: used where permitted to operate the publication, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
  3. Contract or requested service: used to deliver subscriptions, responses, or services you requested.
  4. Legal obligation: used when we must preserve or disclose limited information under law.

To make a request, contact us and include your country or region, the email address involved if any, and the action you are requesting. We may need to verify that you control the email address or are the person authorized to make the request.

United States State Privacy Notices

California and similar state notices

California privacy law gives California consumers rights such as knowing what personal information is collected, deleting certain information, opting out of sale or sharing, and avoiding discrimination for exercising privacy rights. We do not sell reader personal information. If you believe a state privacy right applies to you, contact us and identify the request.

Global Privacy Control and opt-out signals

Where required by applicable law and supported by our platform or consent tools, we aim to honor browser-based privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control for applicable opt-out requests. Because we do not sell personal information, these signals primarily matter for non-essential measurement or sharing choices.

Children and Youth Privacy

General-audience publication

Goodwill Ambassador News is a general-audience publication. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children for marketing or profiling. If a minor has provided personal information through a subscription, contact, or documentation channel, a parent or guardian may contact us and we will review the request.
