Your information
The short version: we ask for an email so we can send you the daily digest. Your information stays with us, and one tap takes you off the list. The longer version is below.
What we collect
When you subscribe, we store your email address and any towns or sections you choose, so the digest can match what you care about. When we send it, we record whether it was opened and which links were followed, so we can tell what is useful and keep the list healthy. If you send a correction or a board post, we keep what you submitted and, if you give it, your email so we can follow up.
How we use it
To send you The 3 p.m. Wire, to make it more relevant, and to answer you when you write. That is the whole list. Your information is used for Wausau Wire alone: never sold, rented or traded, and never used to build profiles for anyone else.
Who helps deliver it
The site is hosted in the cloud, and the digest is delivered by an email service provider on our behalf. Sign-up forms use a bot-protection check to keep out automated abuse. These providers process the data needed to do their job and nothing more.
Your choices
Every digest carries a one-tap unsubscribe link, and it takes effect right away. You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, at any time. Write to corrections@wausauwire.com.
Corrections and takedowns
We link to original reporting and public records; we keep the citation, not a copy. If something about you or your organization is wrong, or you want a record reviewed, use the corrections desk or the address above. A person reviews every request.
We update this page as the service grows, and note material changes here.
