Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Jake Team LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you visit Frisco at frisco.city (the “Site”), a local news website serving Frisco, Texas, and surrounding communities. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you give us: you provide it to us when you sign up for our newsletter, contact us, or otherwise communicate with us. This is typically your email address and any details you choose to include in a message.
• Information collected automatically: when you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.
• Cookies, analytics, and advertising: we use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and deliver advertising. This includes cookies set by Google Analytics and our advertising partners. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information. Weather data, advertising, and certain other content are supplied by third-party providers; your interaction with that content may be subject to those providers’ own privacy practices.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
• Send our newsletter and respond to your inquiries and requests.
• Analyze usage trends and measure the performance of our content using analytics services such as Google Analytics.
• Display and measure advertising, including ads served by third-party advertising networks.
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or misuse of the Site.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: with vendors who help us operate the Site, such as hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers, who are permitted to use the information only to perform services for us.
• Advertising partners: with advertising networks and partners that serve and measure ads on the Site, as described in the Advertising section below.
• Legal requirements: if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Jake Team LLC, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you news summaries and updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. We retain your email address until you unsubscribe or request its deletion.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site functioning, remember preferences, gather analytics about how visitors use the Site, and deliver and measure advertising. We and our partners may use both first-party and third-party cookies. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies and signal that you do not wish to be tracked; however, we may not respond to all such signals, and disabling cookies may affect your experience.

6. Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, and general location and device information. This information is processed in a way that does not directly identify you. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Advertising

The Site displays advertising provided by third-party advertising networks and partners. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to the Site and other websites in order to serve advertising that may be more relevant to your interests (sometimes called interest-based or targeted advertising) and to measure ad performance.

We do not control the data collected by these third-party advertisers, and their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies. If we use Google advertising products, Google’s use of advertising cookies is described in its policies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can manage how ads are personalized to you through Google Ad Settings at https://adssettings.google.com, and you can opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site contains links to third-party websites and embeds content such as weather data and media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you access through the Site.

9. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@jaketeam.com and we will take steps to delete it.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete it, or to opt out of certain processing. Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and residents of other states or regions may have rights under applicable laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@jaketeam.com. We will respond consistent with applicable law and may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

12. Your Advertising Choices and “Do Not Sell or Share”

We do not sell your personal information for monetary value. However, our use of third-party advertising and analytics cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under certain state privacy laws, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act. You can opt out of interest-based advertising using the industry tools described in the Advertising section above (Google Ad Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and the Network Advertising Initiative), and by enabling a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, in your browser. To make a privacy request directly, contact us at info@jaketeam.com.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Material changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
