Milwaukee 106 is an independently operated digital news and press-release platform serving Milwaukee and the wider state of Wisconsin. We list news headlines from third-party publishers, provide local weather, and publish press releases submitted by businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers automatically record technical details when you visit — your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us keep the Site secure, diagnose problems, and understand how it is used.
Information you provide. If you contact us or submit a press release, we collect the details you choose to share — such as your name, organization, email address, and the content of your message or release. We use this only to respond to you and to publish and credit submitted material.
Cookies and analytics. We may use a small number of cookies and privacy-conscious analytics to keep the Site working and to measure aggregate traffic. These do not identify you personally.
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; to publish submitted press releases and display headlines; to respond to inquiries, tips, and correction requests; to monitor performance and protect against abuse; and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers for their own marketing.
Headlines come from a licensed news API (Mediastack) and Google News, and local conditions from Open-Meteo. When you click a headline you leave our Site and are taken to the original publisher, whose own privacy policy then applies. We do not sell or hand over your browsing data to these providers.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard the information in our care. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Published press releases remain available on the platform unless and until the submitter or rights holder requests removal. Routine server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting and are then deleted, typically within 90 days.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, reach us through our contact form and we will respond as required by applicable law.
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
