Last updated: 2026-05-25 · Effective date: 2026-05-25

Her Choice ("we", "us", "our") operates the website herchoice.org (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our Service, and the rights and choices available to you with respect to your information.

By using our Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

1.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party services (e.g., social-login providers, ad networks, analytics partners) per their own privacy policies.

2. How We Use Your Information

You can control cookies through your browser settings (most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely or by category). Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the Service.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Ad Partners

We display advertising to support our journalism. Our advertising is delivered by third-party ad networks and exchanges that may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads tailored to your interests. These technologies may track your visits to our Service and other websites, build a profile of your inferred interests, and serve targeted ("interest-based") or non-targeted ("contextual") advertisements.

Our current and anticipated advertising partners include:

Our ad partners may collect: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, pages viewed, referrer URL, ad impressions and clicks, and approximate geographic location. They may use this information to serve interest-based ads on this Service and on other sites in their networks (cross-site / cross-device tracking), and to measure ad effectiveness.

Some partners participate in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2 and/or the IAB Global Privacy Platform (GPP). Where applicable, we surface the IAB consent string and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to those partners.

Cloudflare

This Service is delivered via Cloudflare's content delivery network and DNS. Cloudflare may collect log data including IP addresses for security, performance, and abuse-prevention purposes. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Newsletter Provider

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address and any optional ZIP code may be processed by our email service provider (e.g., Beehiiv, Substack, MailerLite, or Constant Contact) per their privacy policies.

AI Crawler Licensing Partners

We may use third-party services (e.g., TollBit, Scalepost, Cloudflare AI Crawl Control) to monetize AI / large-language-model crawler access to our content. These services may log crawler user-agent strings, request paths, and request counts for billing and access control. They do not log information about individual human readers.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) and similar laws, the use of cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "share" of personal information.
