appropriate link included in the footer of email notifications. If you do not
want to receive email from The Press, please opt out of receiving emails at the

periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve the The Press
Websites and services. We currently use Google Analytics (traffic analysis, SEO
optimization) and Mailchimp (mailing list management). We have listed below
what data these third parties extract exactly. Feel free to check out their own
Privacy Policies to find out more.
