Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website visits and interactions with advertisements.

Depending on your location, applicable privacy requirements, and your advertising preferences, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Advertising helps support our independent publication and allows us to provide content to readers without requiring payment for every article.

Our advertising relationships do not give advertisers editorial control over our journalism.

For information about Google’s privacy practices and advertising controls, readers should review Google’s applicable policies and privacy settings.

Readers should review the privacy policy of each external website they visit.

Data Sharing

Protecting reader privacy is an important principle of The Next Coverage.

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product to third parties.

However, information may be shared with service providers and other third parties when reasonably necessary to:

  • Protect our rights, property, users, or services
  • Complete a legitimate business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of website assets

Where reasonably possible, we seek to limit information shared to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.

Depending on your location and applicable privacy law, we may process personal information based on one or more lawful grounds.

These may include:

The retention period may depend on:

  • The purpose for which information was collected
  • Legal and regulatory requirements
  • The nature of the information
  • Business and operational requirements
  • The need to resolve disputes
  • Security and fraud-prevention requirements

Technical or analytics information may be retained in aggregated or anonymized form for longer periods where it no longer reasonably identifies an individual and continues to serve legitimate operational or analytical purposes.

When information is no longer necessary, we may securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to newsletters, updates, or other email communications from The Next Coverage, you may unsubscribe at any time.

You can generally unsubscribe by following the unsubscribe link included in the relevant email or by contacting us directly.

Even if you opt out of promotional or newsletter communications, we may still send essential administrative communications when necessary, such as responses to inquiries, correction-related communications, or important service notifications.

International Visitors

The Next Coverage is available to readers worldwide.

If you access our website from outside the country in which our servers, hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, or other service providers operate, information may be processed or transferred across international borders.

Privacy laws may differ between countries and jurisdictions.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures regarding international transfers of personal information.

Children’s Privacy

The Next Coverage is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable privacy laws.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information through our website, they may contact us.

After receiving an appropriate request, we will review the matter and take reasonable steps to remove the information where required or appropriate.

Data Security

Protecting reader information is an important part of how we operate.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction.

However, no website, server, electronic communication, or method of internet transmission can guarantee absolute security.

For this reason, users should also take appropriate precautions when sharing information online and should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary website forms or email.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Privacy laws, technology, third-party services, and our website operations may change over time.

As a result, we may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect legal requirements, operational changes, new services, or improvements to our privacy practices.

When significant changes are made, the revised policy will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of The Next Coverage after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective may constitute acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
