Please review these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy («Agreement») before using the North Harbor Journal website («Website»). By accessing, browsing, or continuing to use the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms outlined in this Agreement.

At North Harbor Journal, we value transparency and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Agreement explains how information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed, and safeguarded when you access our Website or interact with its features.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

We may collect personal information that you choose to provide when subscribing to newsletters, creating an account, submitting contact forms, communicating with our support team, participating in surveys or promotional campaigns, or purchasing products or services through the Website.

Depending on the interaction, this information may include your name, email address, postal address, account login details, payment-related information, and any additional details you voluntarily submit.

To improve our content and recommendations, users may also provide optional information regarding wellness interests, nutrition habits, fitness routines, healthy living preferences, or similar lifestyle topics.

North Harbor Journal does not intentionally collect highly sensitive information such as government-issued identification numbers, biometric identifiers, confidential medical records, employment records, racial or ethnic background, or precise geolocation data.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive limited information from trusted business partners, analytics providers, advertising services, payment processors, or publicly available sources to improve Website functionality, optimize communications, and better understand visitor interests.

Cookies and Related Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve performance, remember preferences, personalize content, and analyze visitor behavior.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although certain Website functions may become unavailable or perform less effectively.

We may also automatically collect technical information including browser type, operating system, device characteristics, pages viewed, referral sources, visit duration, and aggregated usage statistics that generally do not directly identify individual users.

IP Address Information

IP addresses may be used for fraud prevention, Website administration, security monitoring, analytics, troubleshooting, and maintaining the integrity of our systems. In most cases, IP-related information is not directly connected to personally identifiable records.

Social Media and Third-Party Services

If you choose to interact with North Harbor Journal through social media platforms or other third-party services, those providers may independently collect and process information under their own privacy policies, which operate separately from this Agreement.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through the Website may be used to:

• operate, maintain, and improve Website services;
• personalize user experiences and content recommendations;
• process orders and payments;
• respond to customer inquiries and support requests;
• send newsletters, updates, and promotional communications where legally permitted;
• evaluate Website performance and visitor engagement;
• prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activities;
• comply with applicable legal requirements;
• provide important service announcements and policy notifications.

3. Information Sharing

We may share limited information with carefully selected third-party providers that support Website operations, including hosting companies, analytics platforms, payment processors, communication services, and customer support providers.

Where legally permitted, certain non-sensitive information may also be shared with advertising or marketing partners while respecting applicable privacy choices available to users.

Comments, reviews, and other publicly submitted content may be visible to other visitors together with any display name or username selected by the user.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal proceedings, governmental authorities, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, systems, or property of North Harbor Journal, its users, or the public.

If our business experiences a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing event, or transfer of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction while remaining subject to appropriate privacy protections.

We may also share information when users provide explicit authorization.

7. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Despite these efforts, no electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
