Privacy Policy

The Plough News is committed to reporting news fairly, accurately, and without fear or favour. This policy explains how we handle information — both the personal information you may share with us, and the standards we hold ourselves to when reporting on people and events.

Our Editorial Commitment

We do not publish stories about individuals or organisations based on rumour, speculation, or unverified claims. Every effort is made to confirm facts before publication, seek comment from those involved where appropriate, and represent people and events truthfully. We do not knowingly publish false or misleading information.

Mistakes can still happen. If you believe a story about you or your organisation is inaccurate, contact us using the details below and we will review it promptly. Where we've gotten something wrong, we will correct it and, where appropriate, publish a clarification.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to provide the features you choose to use on this site:

• Comments — when you leave a comment on a story, we collect the name and email address you provide. Your email address is never shown publicly.
• Newsletter — if you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates.
• Usage data — like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically log basic technical information (such as browser type and pages visited) to help us understand site performance.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

How We Use Your Information

Information you provide is used solely to operate the features you engaged with — publishing your comment, moderating submissions to keep discussions civil and on-topic, or sending the newsletter you signed up for. Comments are reviewed before appearing publicly.

Cookies

We use minimal, functional cookies necessary to keep the site working properly. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of visitors.

Your Choices

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in every email. If you'd like a comment removed or want to know what information we hold about you, contact us and we will action your request as quickly as possible.

Corrections and Complaints

We take accuracy seriously. If you spot an error in one of our stories, or have a concern about how you or someone you know has been represented, please reach out. We review every complaint and correct genuine errors without delay.
