The Celina Wire is an independent community news publication based in Celina, Texas. We operate the website at celinawire.com and a free weekly email newsletter. We are not affiliated with the City of Celina, Celina ISD, or any government entity.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at editor@celinawire.com.
We only collect information you voluntarily provide to us. This includes:
We do not require you to create an account to use The Celina Wire. Most of the site is fully accessible without providing any personal information at all.
We use the information you provide only for the purpose you provided it:
We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is not a product here.
We take source protection seriously. If you submit a news tip anonymously — by checking the anonymous option on our tip form — your submission contains no identifying information. We cannot trace it back to you, and we will never attempt to do so.
If you include your contact details voluntarily, that information is seen only by The Celina Wire editorial team and is never published or shared without your explicit consent.
We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) to manage our newsletter list and send emails. Your email address is stored securely on Brevo's servers. You can review Brevo's privacy policy at brevo.com.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send. We process unsubscribe requests immediately.
We do not send unsolicited email. We will never add you to our list without your explicit consent.
Our tip submission, event submission, and advertising inquiry forms are powered by Formspree, a secure form processing service. When you submit a form, your data is transmitted securely to Formspree and forwarded to our email. You can review Formspree's privacy policy at formspree.io.
We may also use the following third-party services on this site:
We do not use Facebook Pixel, TikTok tracking, or other invasive advertising trackers.
The Celina Wire does not use tracking cookies for its own purposes. However, third-party services embedded on the site (such as Google AdSense or Google Fonts) may set their own cookies. These are subject to the respective third party's privacy policies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the display of some ads but will not affect your ability to read or use this site.

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Our site is served over HTTPS. Form submissions are transmitted securely. Newsletter data is stored on Brevo's secure servers.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you have sensitive information to share, we recommend contacting us directly at editor@celinawire.com rather than using a web form.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of The Celina Wire after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
We will never make material changes to how we handle your data without notifying newsletter subscribers directly.
