At NovaStreamNews (novastreamnews.com), the privacy of our visitors matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server automatically records standard technical information when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. We use it to keep the website running securely, fix technical problems, and understand how the site is used.
Information you give us
If you leave a comment or send us a message through our Contact page, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address and message. We use these only to display your comment or reply to your message.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- operate, maintain and improve the website
- respond to comments and messages
- understand how visitors use our content
- show advertising through Google AdSense
- protect the website against spam, abuse and security threats
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use:
- Necessary cookies, which are required for the website to function, for example to remember your cookie preferences.
- Advertising cookies, which are used by Google and its partners to show ads, as explained below.
Non-essential cookies are only used where you have given consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then not work properly.
4. Google AdSense and advertising
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on our site. To learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
5. Comments and Gravatar
When you leave a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy.
6. Embedded content from other websites
Articles may include embedded content, such as videos or images. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that website, and those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the content.
7. Third-party links
Our website may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
8. Data retention
Comments and their metadata are kept until you ask us to remove them. Messages sent through the Contact page are deleted once your request has been handled. Technical server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and maintenance.
9. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the European Union and the United Kingdom under the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- correct inaccurate data
- request deletion of your data
- restrict or object to certain processing
- receive your data in a portable format
- withdraw your consent at any time
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@novastreamnews.com.
11. Children’s privacy
This website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
