Privacy Policy
This policy explains how LegitNews handles reader settings, newsletter signups, support or partner inquiries, and optional analytics or advertising tools across the public product.
Who is responsible and how to contact us
LegitNews currently operates as an independent digital news product. If you have a privacy question, data request, or correction request, contact us at legitnewscontact@gmail.com.
What data we collect
- Reader settings such as locale, theme, consent preferences, and homepage briefing choices.
- Newsletter-signup fields including email, optional name, product interest, locale, topic, and source path.
- Support or commercial-contact details submitted voluntarily through email links, partner forms, or other contact surfaces.
- Basic technical logs needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.
Why we use the data
- To run the public site, remember your preferences, and keep the service stable.
- To deliver the requested briefing, support response, partnership follow-up, or product-launch update.
- To measure product performance and monetization surfaces where consent has been granted.
- To prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and security issues.
Consent, cookies, and optional tools
Essential storage is used for core product behavior. Optional analytics and ad-related tools only load after the relevant consent where the law requires it.
If we activate additional vendors such as analytics suites, ad networks, newsletter tools, or payment providers later, this policy and the cookie policy will be updated to match the live setup.
Sharing, vendors, and external links
We do not describe the service as a data marketplace. Data may still be shared with service providers that help us host the product, receive emails, run forms, analyze site performance, serve ads, or process reader payments.
If you leave LegitNews for an external publisher, a Buy Me a Coffee page, Tally form, or another third-party service, that destination has its own privacy practices and terms.
Retention and your choices
We aim to retain personal data only for as long as it is operationally useful, legally required, or necessary to support the interaction you requested.
You can clear local browser storage, withdraw consent for optional categories, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of the data you submitted.
Security and updates
We use reasonable operational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is perfectly secure. This policy will be updated whenever LegitNews introduces material changes to billing, accounts, vendors, or data flows.
