Welcome to NewsFlash.
We take your privacy seriously. Partly because it’s the right thing to do, and partly because privacy regulators possess a level of determination that deserves respect.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data.
Who We Are
NewsFlash is an independent online publication covering news, culture, technology, business, politics, and occasionally stories that make us question reality itself.
If you have questions regarding this policy, you may contact us using the contact information provided on this website.
Information We Collect
Newsletter Subscriptions
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
This is generally considered necessary if we are expected to send you emails.
We use your email address to:
- Deliver newsletters
- Send updates about new content
- Notify you of important service changes
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter. We promise not to hide it behind a maze.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us through a contact form or email, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and message content.
We only receive what you decide to send us. We are many things, but mind readers are not among them.
How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Deliver newsletters and updates
- Respond to inquiries
- Improve content and user experience
- Protect the website from abuse, spam, and other forms of internet nonsense
We do not sell your personal information.
Not now. Not later. Not after a particularly difficult Monday.
Newsletter Delivery
NewsFlash uses Maileroo to deliver newsletter communications.
When you subscribe, your email address may be processed by Maileroo solely for the purpose of delivering emails you have requested to receive.
Maileroo may process information according to its own privacy practices and legal obligations.
Google Fonts
This website uses Google Fonts to improve readability and visual presentation.
When your browser loads Google Fonts, it may establish a connection with Google’s servers. This may result in Google receiving technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information.
In simpler terms, your browser asks Google for fonts and Google notices that your browser exists.
For more information, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.
Cookies
This website may use essential cookies required for proper operation.
These cookies help keep things functioning correctly and generally prevent the website from behaving like a confused shopping cart with a flat tire.
At the time of writing, NewsFlash does not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking systems.
If that changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
Log Data
Like most websites on the internet, our servers may automatically collect technical information such as:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Operating system
- Referring pages
- Date and time of access
This information is primarily used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding how the website is being used.
No, we are not sitting in a dark room personally reviewing your browsing habits.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain legitimate business records.
Newsletter subscriber information is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
That said, no website, server, database, cloud provider, or suspiciously confident tech executive can guarantee absolute security.
The internet remains the internet.
Third Party Links
NewsFlash may contain links to external websites.
Once you leave our website, you are subject to the policies and practices of the destination site.
Some websites are excellent.
Some are less excellent.
We cannot control either category.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your data
- Restrict certain processing activities
- Withdraw consent where applicable
To exercise these rights, please contact us.
Unlike some organizations, we do not believe basic privacy rights should require completing seventeen forms and sacrificing a weekend.
Children’s Privacy
NewsFlash is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law in their jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we do, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
We will not attempt to hide major changes in microscopic text buried beneath twelve unrelated paragraphs.
Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided on this website.
Thank you for reading our Privacy Policy.
Statistically speaking, you’ve already read more of it than most people.
