Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy explains what information NEWS ANALYSIS collects when you visit newsanalysis.net, why we collect it, and what choices you have. It covers this website only.

Information you give us

If you write to us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include in it. We use that solely to respond and, where you are reporting an error or offering information, to act on it. We do not add correspondents to a marketing list and we do not sell or rent contact details.

If you are a source who has asked not to be identified, we treat your identity as confidential and handle your correspondence accordingly.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server records technical information when a page is requested: the address of the page, the time, your browser type and version, your approximate location derived from your network address, and the site that referred you. This is used to keep the site working and to understand which coverage readers find useful.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how the site is used in aggregate, including which pages are read and how people arrive. This tells us which coverage is worth continuing. These tools set identifiers in your browser and may record interactions such as scrolling and clicks. We look at patterns across readers, not at individuals, and we do not attempt to identify you from analytics data.

Advertising

This site carries advertising, which is how it is funded. Advertising partners may set their own identifiers in your browser and may use them to limit how often you see a particular advertisement and to select which advertisements appear. Those partners act under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We do not pass your email address or correspondence to advertisers.

Cookies

Cookies and similar storage are used for site function, analytics and advertising. Our Cookie Policy describes the categories in more detail and explains how to control them in your browser.

Legal basis and your rights

Where data protection law applies to you, our basis for processing technical and analytics data is our legitimate interest in operating and improving a functioning website, and for correspondence it is the handling of your request. Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and to object to certain processing. Write to us through our Contact page and we will respond.

Retention

Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with the matter and to maintain a record of corrections and source contact, after which it is deleted. Server and analytics records are kept for a limited period for operational and security purposes.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share data only with the service providers who host the site, deliver analytics and serve advertising, each acting for those purposes, and where we are legally required to disclose it.

International transfer

We are an international publication and our providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where that happens, it is on the terms those providers publish.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult readership. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection and we take reasonable measures to protect the limited information we hold. No website can promise perfect security, and we do not.

Links to other sites

We link out frequently, because our Editorial Standards commit us to pointing readers at primary sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices and this policy does not extend to them.
