Privacy notice

Effective November 8, 2026

This notice describes the current launch version of GeorgetownCountyNews.com and its Georgetown County News Facebook publishing integration.

Visiting this site

The site provides public news pages. This version has no reader accounts, comment system, advertising scripts, analytics tags or newsletter signup form. We do not ask readers to log in with Facebook. Our hosting infrastructure may process ordinary request information such as IP address, requested URL, browser details and request time to serve and secure the site. Hosting logs are controlled through the hosting account; this notice does not promise a specific retention period.

Facebook Page publishing

The publishing integration is for the administrator of the Georgetown County News – GCN Page. It uses an access credential to identify that Page, read Page content and create or manage Page posts. The credential is stored in a private server directory with restricted permissions, not in reader-facing pages. The integration is limited to the Georgetown Page selected during authorization. It does not provide a public Facebook login or request readers' profiles.

Email sent to the newsroom

We receive releases, corrections and tips through Resend. Resend processes messages for delivery to our private editorial queue. Message text and attachment information may be retained for news review and correspondence. Sending a release does not guarantee publication.

Official feeds and external links

We may retrieve public government releases and weather information on the server to identify stories or show official updates. Following a link to Facebook, a government source or another website takes you to a separate service governed by its own privacy practices.

Contact and deletion requests

Contact us through the Georgetown County News Facebook Page for privacy questions or to request deletion of information you have directly provided to the newsroom. Please do not send passwords, access tokens or sensitive identification documents. The Page administrator can revoke the integration through Facebook's business integration settings. We will review requests in light of the information actually held and any applicable retention obligations.

Changes

We will update this notice if reader accounts, submissions, subscriptions, advertising or other data-processing features are added.
