Privacy Policy

Effective August 3, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. The Bridgeline is published by Hivetivity Inc. ("we", "us", "our"), a newsletter covering local news in Johns Creek, GA. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

When you subscribe to The Bridgeline, we collect your email address. That is it. We do not require your name, street address, phone number, or any other personal information to receive the newsletter.

If you contact us by email with a tip, a correction, or a sponsorship enquiry, we retain the contents of that correspondence.

• To send you The Bridgeline on our regular publishing schedule, currently Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings at 7:00 AM
• To respond to emails you send us
• To understand aggregate readership trends, such as open rates and click rates, so we can improve the newsletter

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes. We will never spam you.

We use MailerLite to deliver the newsletter. Your email address is stored on their servers and is subject to their privacy policy in addition to this one. They process your address on our behalf and do not use it for their own purposes.

We use privacy-respecting analytics to count page views and see which issues get read. It does not set advertising cookies, does not follow you to other sites, and does not build a profile of you.

Issues link out to city agendas, local news reports, business websites, and similar sources. We do not control those sites and this policy does not cover them. Read their policies if you are concerned about how they handle your information.

We keep your email address for as long as you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe, your address is removed from the active sending list. We may retain a suppression record so that you are not accidentally re-added by a later import, which is the standard practice for honouring an opt-out.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every issue, or by emailing us. You can also ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will action it.

The Bridgeline is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has subscribed, email us and we will remove the address.

If this policy changes in a way that materially affects how we handle your information, we will say so in an issue rather than quietly updating this page. The effective date at the top always reflects the current version.
