Yooper Hub (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website https://yooperhub.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Who we are
Our website address is https://yooperhub.com. We’re an independent news and entertainment site covering Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and beyond.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract that location data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These cookies last one year. If you have an account and log in, we set temporary cookies to store your login information and display preferences.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This enables Google and its partners to show you relevant ads based on your interests.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
- You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- For more options, visit https://www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site. We do not control these third-party cookies.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and general audience trends. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (often anonymized), device and browser type, and pages visited. This data helps us improve the site. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Anonymized data may be shared with the third-party services described above (Google AdSense, Google Analytics) as part of their normal operation.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, we store the personal information they provide in their profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, and you can request that we erase it. This does not include data we’re obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.
