Last Updated: April 26, 2026

Who We Are Our website address is: https://www.hudpost.com. We are HUDPOST LLC, a media and news company registered in the State of New Jersey. You can contact us at info@hudpost.com.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It We collect personal data from users and site visitors to provide and improve our services, process transactions, and communicate with you. This may include:

  • Identifying Information: Name, email address, and account preferences.
  • Commercial Information: Purchase history, donation records, and payment details (processed securely via third parties).
  • Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, and information collected through cookies.

Comments and User Submissions When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

If you upload images to our website (such as for the Missing Pet Flyer service or news submissions), the files are stored on our servers via WordPress. You should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. Content submitted for publication may also be shared across our official social media channels.

Contact Forms Our contact forms collect your name, email address, and message when you submit an inquiry. We keep this information to provide customer service and support. We do not use information submitted through standard contact forms for direct marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies We use cookies to enhance your user experience, remember user preferences, manage subscriptions, and analyze website traffic.

  • Consent and Opt-Out: By using our site, you consent to the use of essential cookies. You may choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies (such as those used for analytics or targeted advertising) through your browser settings or our website’s cookie consent banner.

Who We Share Your Data With We do not sell your personal data for monetary compensation. However, we do share data with trusted third-party service providers strictly for the purposes of operating our website, processing transactions, and understanding our audience:

  • Cloud Service Provider: We store website and user data securely on Hostinger’s servers. (Privacy Policy: https://www.hostinger.com/privacy)
  • Email Communications: We use Brevo to manage our email subscriber lists and send newsletters. When you subscribe, your email address and interaction data are processed by Brevo. (Privacy Policy: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/)
  • Analytics and Reader Revenue: We use Google Analytics and Google Reader Revenue to track website traffic, understand user behavior, and manage audience contributions. Google uses cookies to collect this data. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. (Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy)
  • Payment Processor: We share transaction data with WooCommerce (and its underlying payment gateways) to process shop purchases and donations securely. (Privacy Policy: https://woocommerce.com/privacy-policy/)

“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” While we do not sell your data for money, the use of third-party analytics and advertising trackers (like Google) may constitute “sharing” data for targeted advertising under applicable state privacy laws. You have the right to opt-out of this sharing. You can exercise this right by adjusting your cookie preferences on our site, using global privacy control signals in your browser, or contacting us at info@hudpost.com.

How Long We Retain Your Data We strictly adhere to data minimization principles. We retain personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, provide our services, and comply with our legal and tax obligations. For example, financial and purchase records are typically kept for up to 7 years to comply with tax laws, while inactive subscriber data is periodically purged.

Data Security and Breach Notification We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or server is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the legally recognized event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, HUDPOST LLC will notify you and the appropriate regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.

Your Privacy Rights In compliance with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the New Jersey Data Protection Act (NJDPA), you hold specific rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Request deletion (erasure) of your personal data, subject to legal and operational exceptions.
  • Request data portability (a copy of your data in a usable format).
  • Opt-out of the processing of your data for targeted advertising.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request to info@hudpost.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Where Your Data is Sent (International Transfers) We transfer and store user data safely. If data is transferred outside the United States or the European Union with our web hosting provider, Hostinger, we ensure that data is safeguarded to international data protection standards through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
