Privacy policy

How NJ PBS handles information on this site, and what you can ask for.

This notice explains how NJ PBS handles information on this website. Montclair State University also publishes a website privacy notice (opens in new tab) for university-owned websites, services, applications, and technology products.

Data collected

NJ PBS and its hosting services may process limited technical information needed to operate and secure the website, including browser type, device type, approximate connection information, and the date and time of a request. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics also records information about the pages you visit and how you reached the site. If you email NJ PBS or submit a form, the information you provide is used to respond to your request.

Analytics and cookies

NJ PBS uses Google Analytics 4 to understand site traffic and improve this website. The Google tag does not load, and no analytics request or analytics cookie is created, unless you select Allow analytics and newsletter tools. Advertising storage, ad user data, ad personalization, and Google signals stay off.

The same choice controls Mailchimp’s connected-site code, which supports NJ PBS newsletter signup tools. Mailchimp code does not load until you allow it. If NJ PBS publishes a Mailchimp signup form, Mailchimp may use a cookie to remember whether you viewed the form and may measure form performance.

The site saves your choice in the first-party njpbs-consent cookie. The browser uses this record to enforce your choice. A denial or Global Privacy Control signal keeps analytics and Mailchimp newsletter tools off. NJ PBS does not put either service on the Kids page or on pages that play video.

Third-party services

This website links to services that are hosted or controlled by other organizations. Watching on watch.njpbs.org (opens in new tab), the PBS app, PBS.org, PBS Passport pages, PBS donation forms, social media platforms, and the NJ Spotlight News website may be governed by their own privacy notices and account terms.

If you allow analytics, Google processes the analytics data under its own terms and privacy practices. Learn how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services (opens in new tab).

Donation and Passport data

NJ PBS does not collect payment-card information on this site. Online donations are processed through PBS donation tools; a donation mailed as a check goes directly to NJ PBS and does not pass through those tools. PBS Passport viewing and account sign-in are handled by PBS-hosted services.

Your privacy choices

You can ask NJ PBS to:

  • tell you what personal information it holds about you, and give you a copy
  • correct information that is wrong
  • delete personal information it holds about you
  • opt out of any sale of your personal information, or its use for targeted advertising

Email njpbs@montclair.edu and say which of these you are asking for.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work as expected if cookies are blocked.
