Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 1, 2026

The Anna Maria Island Sun respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use amisun.com, how that information is used, and what choices are available to you.

This policy is intended to describe our website practices in plain language. It is not a substitute for advice from qualified privacy counsel.

Information We Collect

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from technical signals, and the date and time of your visit.

If you submit a form, place a classified ad, subscribe, or contact us through the website, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, message, ad details, subscription information, and any other information included in the form submission.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember privacy choices, support forms and advertising placements, measure site performance, and understand how readers use the website.

Analytics cookies are optional. You can accept or decline analytics cookies using the privacy choices banner on the website. Essential cookies and storage that are needed for security, forms, site preferences, and core website functions may still be used.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand aggregate website readership and improve the website. Google Analytics may collect usage information such as pages viewed, device and browser information, approximate location, and referring sources. We configure analytics with Google Consent Mode so analytics storage is denied unless a visitor accepts analytics cookies.

Google’s use of information collected through Google Analytics is governed by Google’s own policies. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Forms and Classifieds

We use WPForms to power contact, subscription, classified, and submission forms. Form submissions may be stored or emailed so that AMI Sun can respond to the request, process the submission, manage classifieds, or provide the requested service. We have enabled WPForms privacy settings intended to reduce unnecessary visitor identifiers and IP-detail collection.

Advertising and Embedded Content

The website may display advertisements, links, images, videos, maps, social media embeds, or other content from third parties. Those third parties may collect information when you interact with their content or visit their websites. AMI Sun is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

The site also uses local advertising support tools to manage ad placement and rotation. These tools may use local or session storage for ad display behavior, but they are not intended to create cross-site advertising profiles.

How We Use Information

We use information collected through the website to operate and secure the site, respond to inquiries, process subscriptions and classified submissions, understand readership, improve content and usability, manage advertising placements, and comply with applicable obligations.

Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, process forms, provide analytics, maintain security, host the site, or support business operations. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with business administration.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money. Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly, particularly for cross-context behavioral advertising. Based on the current website review, AMI Sun is not using Meta/Facebook Pixel, session replay, chat tracking, or third-party retargeting pixels on the sampled pages.

Your Choices

You can use the website privacy choices banner to accept or decline analytics cookies. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features.

If applicable law gives you rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or opt-out handling for personal information, you may contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your request before responding.

California and Other Privacy Rights

Privacy laws vary by state and may apply differently depending on business size, data practices, audience, and other factors. California residents and residents of other states may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. AMI Sun should consult qualified privacy counsel to confirm which specific legal obligations apply.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect website information. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
