The Constitutional Advocate operates https://theconstitutionaladvocate.com/, an independent political opinion and commentary publication. This policy explains how information is collected and used when you visit, comment, or subscribe.
Information collected
Comments. When you submit a comment, we collect the information entered in the form, including your name, email address, comment, and any optional website address. WordPress also records technical information, such as your IP address and browser information, for site administration, security, and spam prevention.
Approved comments and the name you provide are public. Your email address and IP address are not displayed publicly with your comment. Please do not include private information in the comment itself.
Newsletter subscriptions. When you subscribe, your email address and subscription information are processed through WordPress.com and Jetpack to manage your subscription and deliver new articles by email. The service may also process information about email delivery and interactions, as described in its privacy notices.
Submitting a comment does not automatically subscribe you to the newsletter.
Visits and technical information. Our hosting and service providers may process information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, referring pages, and pages visited to operate the website, maintain security, and provide usage statistics.
Direct correspondence. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide and use it to respond to your inquiry.

- Deliver articles to newsletter subscribers.
- Respond to questions, correction requests, and privacy inquiries.
