No website can guarantee perfect security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect.
Cookies & similar technologies
Do we use cookies?
Yes. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to help our Site function and to understand how visitors use it.
A cookie is a small file stored on your device via your web browser. Cookies allow our systems (and certain third-party service providers) to recognize your browser and remember certain information.
What do we use cookies for?
We use cookies and similar tools to:
- remember basic preferences for future visits (for example, if you closed a banner),
- understand how readers use the Site so we can improve content and user experience, and
- measure overall traffic and interactions on the Site.
We may also work with trusted third-party tools that place cookies on our behalf to help us gather aggregate statistics about Site traffic and usage.
Analytics & site tools
On thejohnscreekmagazine.com, we use services and plugins such as:
- Google Analytics, Site Kit by Google, and MonsterInsights (including its Forms Tracking addon) for analytics and reporting;
- Yoast SEO and similar tools to help search engines understand our pages and improve how our content is presented;
- Powerkit and other WordPress plugins for features like social sharing and layout enhancements.
These tools typically collect technical and usage information—such as your IP address (often in truncated/aggregated form), browser type, device type, pages visited, and interactions with forms—to provide us with anonymized or aggregated reports about our audience and site performance.
Your cookie choices
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is set, or you can turn off cookies entirely through your browser settings. Each browser is a bit different, so check your browser’s Help menu to learn how to modify cookie settings.
If you turn cookies off, some features that help personalize your experience may not function as smoothly, but the Site should remain usable.
Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties, except:
- to trusted service providers who help us operate our website, send newsletters, or run technical infrastructure, as long as they agree to keep this information confidential and use it only for our purposes;
- as needed to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our rights or the rights, property, or safety of others; or
- in the context of a business transaction involving Mighty Rockets LLC (such as a merger or acquisition), where information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable visitor information with partners for marketing, analytics, or other purposes.
Third-party links
From time to time, we may include links on our Site to third-party products, services, or websites (such as advertisers, sponsors, local businesses, or city resources). These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and practices.
We are not responsible for the content or activities of those linked sites. However, we want to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome feedback about any third-party links you encounter.
Email & newsletter compliance
We collect your email address when you:
- sign up for our newsletter,
- request contact or information from us, or
- participate in promotions that require email communication.
We use your email address to:
- send you news and information about THE CREEK,
- respond to inquiries and requests, and
- send occasional updates, event information, or marketing messages related to our publications.
We follow standard email best practices, including:
- not using misleading subject lines or email addresses,
- including a way to unsubscribe in each marketing or newsletter email, and
- honoring unsubscribe requests promptly.
If at any time you wish to stop receiving emails, you can:

California & U.S. privacy considerations
Our audience is primarily in Georgia and the United States, but people may visit from anywhere.
If you are a California resident, state law may give you certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access to or deletion of certain data, subject to exceptions. We do not knowingly “sell” personal information as that term is commonly understood.
If you have questions about your rights or would like to make a request, please contact us using the information at the end of this Policy.
Children’s Online Privacy
Our Site and content are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate steps, including removal of that information where required.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is no standard way that sites must respond to these signals, our Site does not currently change its behavior in response to DNT settings. You can still control cookies and tracking through your browser settings and the tools described above.
Data breach response
If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and address the issue. Where appropriate and required by law, we will notify affected users within a reasonable period, which may include posting a notice on the Site or contacting you by email.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we may also provide additional notice on the Site.
Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept those changes.
