Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Breaking News collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you use our websites, mobile experiences, newsletters, and related digital services. We are committed to editorial integrity, security, and responsible handling of audience data.
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to personal information processed by Breaking News in connection with account creation, content subscriptions, audience analytics, customer support, and authenticated features such as bookmarks and saved preferences. It does not apply to third-party platforms that are linked from our services and operated independently.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, including account registration details and correspondence with support. We also collect technical and usage data, such as device type, browser configuration, interaction events, and referral sources, to maintain performance, detect misuse, and improve service reliability.
3. Legal Bases and Use of Information
We process personal information where necessary to provide requested services, to comply with legal obligations, and to pursue legitimate interests such as platform security, product quality assurance, and prevention of abuse. Where required by law, we request consent before processing data for optional features.
4. Sharing and International Transfers
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers that support hosting, analytics, security monitoring, content delivery, and customer operations under contractual confidentiality obligations. Where transfers occur across jurisdictions, we apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.
5. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for operational, legal, and audit purposes. Breaking News employs administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information. You may also update account details through your profile or request assistance by contacting our privacy desk at legal@breakingnews.local.
7. Children's Data
Our services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the minimum digital consent age in their jurisdiction. If we learn that personal information has been submitted by a child without required consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy to reflect legal, technical, or editorial-service changes. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised last-updated date. Continued use of our services after publication constitutes acknowledgement of the updated terms.
