What information do we collect?
We collect personal information such as your email address when you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.
We may also collect non-personal information such as your browser type and referring pages only for the purpose of improving performance and understand how readers use the site.
Personal information such as your email is collected only when you give it. You can choose not to provide it, though this may limit access to certain features such as bookmarking stories, viewing read history and personalizing the type of article that gets to you .
How do we use collected information?
We use personal information to personalize content, keep your account secure, send important updates and respond to enquiries faster. Aggregated data helps us measure content performance and improve our stories and features.
If you opt in to the newsletter, we may send updates on the topics you selected. You can unsubscribe at any time by signing in and turning the newsletter off on your profile page, or you can contact our support team and we will help. Use the same link if you joined through the newsletter form and want to unsubscribe.
Cookies and local storage
We may use cookies or browser storage to keep you signed in, secure our forms and remember your chosen theme. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features such as theme mode settings may stop working as intended.
On sign-in and sign-up pages we may also use short-lived security cookies and to detect repeated page refresh or automated traffic. This protects those pages from abuse. If excessive refreshing is detected, we may briefly limit access and ask you to wait a few seconds before trying again.
Bookmarks, reading history and saved content
When you save or bookmark stories, we record that activity against your account so you can find it again later. We use it only to run that feature, we do not sell it, and we do not use it for anything else.
How do we protect your information?
We maintain administrative, technical and organisational safeguards to protect the personal information we store. No method of transmission or storage is completely risk-free, so we cannot guarantee absolute security but we defintely will do the best we can as your safety is our priority.
Do we disclose information to third parties?
We do not sell, trade or rent personal information to outside parties. In limited cases we share information with trusted service providers who help us run the website or manage communication, such as email tools or technical support, and only for that purpose.
We may also disclose information if the law or a court order requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the platform.

Our website may link to other sites, including news sources, partners and advertisers. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or how they handle your data.
