What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed this pass against NPR specifically. The category note worth recording is that non-profit and public media organisations run the same web analytics and advertising-adjacent measurement stacks as commercial publishers, and their audiences generally assume otherwise because of the funding model. Public-service mission does not automatically imply a different technical implementation, and the Video Privacy Protection Act exposure documented in the QVC row of Online Retailers reaches any site serving video content. Unverified rather than clean.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — standard binding arbitration + class action waiver expected.
Data sharing
Not independently confirmed this pass with a specific named data-privacy lawsuit or breach; as a nonprofit public media organization funded partly by member-station donations and corporate sponsorship (not advertising in the traditional commercial sense), NPR's data-monetization incentives differ structurally from most for-profit media companies in this tracker.
Fees and billing
Not itemized this pass.
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
Mailing address. Not recorded.
