Backstage is a simple, independently run publication. Here's a straightforward account of what happens with your information when you visit.
What we collect
This site does not currently use tracking cookies, analytics scripts, or advertising trackers. If you send us an email (for a tip, correction, or general inquiry), we'll have your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message — nothing more.
How we use it
Any information you send us directly (like an email) is used only to respond to you or follow up on a story tip. We don't sell, share, or rent contact information to third parties.
Newsletter
If a newsletter signup is active on this site, any email address submitted will only be used to send you updates from Backstage, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Third-party links
Articles may link to external news sources, social media platforms, or other websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don't control.
Changes
This policy may be updated as the site adds features. Check back here for the latest version.
Questions
