Privacy & Contest Rules

We're your neighbors, not a data company. This page explains what information The Pulse website handles, why, and what your choices are — written the way we'd explain it across the counter.

What we collect, and why

• Website analytics (Google Analytics). Standard usage information — which pages get visited, roughly where visitors are from, what kind of device they're on. We use it to understand what our readers find useful. It doesn't tell us who you are.
• Newsletter signups (The Pulse newsletter). If you give us your email address, we use it to send you the newsletter — that's it. Our email list is run through Beehiiv, our newsletter service. Every email includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately.
• Form submissions. When you submit an event, request a directory listing, or ask for the media kit, we receive what you typed — and we use it to do the thing you asked for. If a form ever involves a payment, the payment is handled by the payment processor; we never see or store your card number.
• Server logs. Like nearly every website, our hosting keeps routine technical logs (IP addresses, pages requested). We use them for security and troubleshooting only.

What we don't do

We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We don't share your email address with advertisers. We're in the business of connecting neighbors with local businesses — not peddling data.

Your choices

• Analytics: Google offers a free opt-out browser add-on.
• Cookies in general: every browser lets you block or clear cookies in its settings. The site works fine without them.
• Newsletter: unsubscribe link in every email, or just ask us and we'll take you off the list.

Links to other places

Our site links out to our digital flipbook issues, our streaming radio station, advertiser websites and other local resources. Once you leave our site, their privacy practices apply, not ours.

Kids

Our website is for a general audience and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.

The Pulse “Find the Hidden Item” — Official Contest Rules

No purchase necessary to enter or win. The Pulse is always free to read, in print and online, and a purchase will not improve your chance of winning. Finding the hidden item does not by itself win a prize — it enters you in a random drawing.

• Sponsor: Over the Hump Advertising, publisher of The Pulse, Las Vegas, Nevada.
• Eligibility: Open to legal residents of Nevada who are 18 or older at the time of entry. Employees of Over the Hump Advertising and their immediate households are not eligible. Void where prohibited.
• Entry period: Each monthly drawing opens when that month's issue of The Pulse is published and closes at 11:59 p.m. Pacific on the 20th of that month. The random drawing is held shortly after entries close.
• How to enter: Find the hidden Pulse icon somewhere in the issue, then submit its correct page number along with your name and email on the entry form at thepulseofvegas.com. Limit one entry per person per issue.
• Winner selection & odds: One winner is chosen in a random drawing from all entries that submit the correct page number for that issue. Your odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
• Prize: $50 U.S. cash. One prize per monthly drawing. Approximate retail value: $50.
• Winner notification: The winner is notified by email at the address entered, within seven (7) days of the drawing, and must respond within fourteen (14) days to claim the prize. An unclaimed prize may be forfeited and a new winner drawn.
• Newsletter is optional: Entering does not require a newsletter subscription. You may choose to receive The Pulse newsletter when you enter, and you can unsubscribe at any time — see the newsletter and privacy sections above.
• Void where prohibited by law.
