If you email us or use a contact form, we may receive the information you intentionally provide, such as your name, email address and message.

Do not submit workplace credentials or sensitive payroll, employment or financial information.

We do not need your PartnerNet password, OnePass password, Partner ID, MFA code, Social Security number, W-2, bank information or benefits records to respond to an editorial inquiry.

Like most websites, the infrastructure used to deliver [DOMAIN] may process technical request information such as:

• request date and time;
• referring page;
• basic error and security logs.

Actual Contact Message Retention: [INSERT ACTUAL PRACTICE]

Do not state a fixed retention period unless it reflects the website’s actual operation.

Analytics

Analytics Provider: [PROVIDER OR NOT APPLICABLE]

If analytics are used, update this section with the actual service and configuration. Analytics may process information about visits, pages viewed, referral sources, device characteristics and website interactions depending on the provider.

If analytics are not installed, state that clearly and remove unnecessary hypothetical language before publication.

Advertising Provider: [PROVIDER OR NOT APPLICABLE]

If advertising technology is deployed, describe the provider and actual data practices here and ensure the site’s consent implementation corresponds with those practices.

See our Cookie Policy for additional information.

External Resources

Articles may refer readers to H-E-B, app stores, government resources or other third-party websites.

Leaving [DOMAIN] for an official H-E-B resource does not make that destination part of [PUBLICATION NAME].

If such information is submitted inadvertently, the operator should handle it according to the site’s actual security and deletion procedures.
