This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website newswave.blog, use our services, or interact with our mobile application NewsWave. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site or use our services.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.

1. Collection of Your Information

We do not collect personally identifiable information (such as names, emails, or addresses) on our website. However, limited non-personal data may be collected automatically for operational purposes. For the App, we use third-party services that collect anonymized usage data to improve functionality and deliver ads—no personal data is stored or shared without aggregation.

Website (newswave.blog)

• Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and pages viewed. This is used solely for site performance and security; no user profiles are created.
• No cookies or tracking scripts are used for personal data collection. We do not require registration or logins.

App-Specific Data

• Google Analytics: Anonymized usage data (e.g., app opens, session duration, device type) to analyze trends and improve user experience. No personal identifiers.
• Firebase: Crash reports, performance metrics, and anonymized events (e.g., screen views) for debugging and optimization. If used for authentication, only temporary tokens are handled.
• AdMob: Device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID) and usage patterns for personalized ad serving. Ads are non-targeted beyond demographics; no sensitive data.
• MongoDB: Backend database for storing anonymized app metadata (e.g., news preferences or crash logs). No user-specific personal data is retained.

Third-Party Data Demographic or interest-based data from ad networks (e.g., via AdMob), but only in aggregated, non-identifiable form.

2. Use of Your Information

Information collected helps maintain and enhance our services without identifying individuals:

• Website: Aggregate analytics for site improvements (e.g., popular news categories).
• App: Optimize performance (Firebase), understand usage (Google Analytics), serve relevant ads (AdMob), and store temporary operational data (MongoDB).
• No data is used for marketing emails, profiling, or sharing with unrelated parties.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell or share personal data. Disclosures are limited:

• Service Providers: Anonymized data to Google Analytics, Firebase, AdMob, and MongoDB for their respective functions. These providers have their own policies (linked below).
• By Law: Only if required for legal compliance (e.g., subpoenas).
• Business Transfers: In case of merger/acquisition, data would transfer under similar protections.

No data from the website is shared; App data stays within the specified services.

4. Tracking Technologies

Website: Minimal—standard server logs only. No cookies enabled.

App:

• Google Analytics: Uses SDKs for event tracking; opt-out via device settings.
• Firebase: SDK-based logging; review Google’s privacy info: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
• AdMob: Ad SDK collects device info; opt-out through Google Ads settings: https://admob.google.com/home/resources/privacy/.
• MongoDB: No client-side tracking; server-side only.

5. Third-Party Websites

Our site and App link to external news sources. We are not responsible for their practices. Review their policies before interacting.

6. Security of Your Information

We use standard security (e.g., HTTPS on the site, encryption in Firebase/MongoDB) to protect data. However, no system is infallible—use at your own risk.

7. Policy for Children

We do not target children under 13. App services comply with COPPA; no data collection from minors.

8. Options for Non-Disclosure

• Website: No opt-outs needed.
• App: Disable Analytics/AdMob in device settings; uninstall for full opt-out.

9. California Privacy Rights

California residents can request aggregated data disclosures via contact below. No “sales” occur.

10. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

We honor DNT signals where possible via third-party tools.

11. Options to Access, Correct, or Delete Your Information

Since no personal data is collected, access/deletion requests apply to anonymized App logs. Contact us to request removal from our backend.
