Section 01

1. Scope & Core Privacy Principles

This Global Privacy Policy applies to all services, digital editions, web platforms, mobile client interfaces, APIs, and newsletters operated by The NewsART24. Our data architecture is engineered upon three inviolable principles:

Data Minimization

We collect only the bare minimum data required to deliver fast, multilingual journalism.

Zero Ad Brokerage

We never monetize, rent, or sell reader identity profiles to third-party data brokers.

Transparent Control

Full self-serve control over your language cookies, history, and consent preferences.

Section 02

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two structured categories to ensure optimal performance and personalized multilingual news delivery:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

  • Newsletter Subscriptions: Email address, preferred dispatch categories, and digest frequency.
  • Reader Communications: Messages submitted via editorial tip lines, contact desks, or correction forms.
  • Account Preferences: Chosen location city (e.g., Bengaluru, Delhi, Geneva) and primary reading language.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Device & Network Telemetry: Anonymized IP address (truncated at country/city level), browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
  • Engagement Analytics: Articles read, scroll depth, time spent per investigative feature, and search queries.
Section 03

3. Multilingual Telemetry & Regional Localization

To deliver seamless instant translation across 18 languages, our client application stores your active language code (e.g., English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu) in your local device storage.

Local Storage Isolation:

Your edition location selection and language preference never require server-side tracking cookies; they reside locally within your client browser cache and can be cleared at any time.
