Privacy Policy

How TENS handles reader, subscriber, source, and visitor information.

Last updated: May 21, 2026. This policy explains how information moves through the publication, from newsletters and analytics to newsroom tips and rights requests.

Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including email addresses, names, messages, tip submissions, licensing requests, correction requests, and newsletter preferences.

We may also collect technical information from site visits, including device type, browser, referring pages, approximate location, pages viewed, and interaction data used to understand performance and reader behavior.

How we use information

We use information to operate the publication, send requested communications, review news tips, respond to inquiries, process corrections, understand audience patterns, prevent abuse, and improve the reader experience.

Editorial information sent to TENS may be reviewed by newsroom staff and routed to the appropriate editor, desk, or production lead.

Cookies and analytics

TENS may use cookies, similar storage technologies, and analytics services to measure traffic, diagnose performance issues, remember preferences, and understand which stories and sections readers use.

You can adjust cookie settings through your browser. Some site features may work differently if cookies are disabled.

News tips and source material

If you send a news tip, documents, photos, recordings, or other source material, we use that information to evaluate, verify, and report stories.

Do not send material you are legally barred from sharing. If a matter is sensitive, contact the newsroom first and avoid sending unnecessary personal information.

Third-party services

The site may rely on third-party infrastructure, analytics, hosting, newsletter, search, image, or security providers. These providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

External links, embeds, and social platforms are not controlled by TENS. Review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

Retention and security

We keep information for as long as needed to operate the publication, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, preserve editorial records, and protect the newsroom.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no website, email system, or storage provider can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may unsubscribe from newsletters through the link in the email. You may also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or limitation of personal information where applicable law provides those rights.

Requests should include enough detail for us to identify the information involved without sending unnecessary sensitive data.

Children

TENS is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to TENS, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the publication, services, or legal requirements change. The updated date on this page will reflect the latest version.

Privacy questions should route to the desk that can act on them.

For privacy requests, email privacy@tensmag.com. For newsroom tips, corrections, licensing, or editorial questions, use the contact page so the right team receives the request.
