Privacy Policy

Last updated June 16, 2026

This policy explains what information The Hard News Daily may collect, how it may be used, and how readers can contact us about privacy matters.

Overview

The Hard News Daily respects reader privacy. We collect only the information reasonably needed to operate the website, respond to messages, improve our publishing work, manage subscriptions, protect the site, and comply with applicable obligations.

Information We May Collect

  • Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, message details, subscription preferences, correction requests, advertising enquiries, job enquiries, or other correspondence.
  • Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referral pages, approximate location, pages visited, and timestamps.
  • Comment data, if commenting is enabled, including the content of comments and metadata needed for moderation and spam prevention.
  • Newsletter or contact-form information submitted voluntarily by readers.

How We Use Information

We may use information to publish and maintain the website, respond to enquiries, review corrections and claims, send requested updates, improve site performance, moderate abuse, detect spam or security threats, understand readership trends, and manage business or legal communications.

Cookies And Analytics

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, security, embedded media, social features, advertising measurement, or preference storage. Browser settings usually allow you to block or delete cookies, though some site functions may not work as expected.

Embedded Content And Third Parties

Articles may include embedded content from platforms such as social networks, video services, maps, or document viewers. Embedded content can behave as if you visited that third-party site directly and may collect data according to that platform’s own policies.

Sharing Of Information

We do not sell reader contact information as a standalone product. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the site, email systems, analytics, hosting, security, advertising, or legal compliance. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate abuse.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for editorial records, reader communication, legal, security, accounting, or operational purposes. Correction requests and legal claims may be kept as part of our editorial accountability records.

Your Choices

You may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal information where applicable. You may unsubscribe from email updates using the unsubscribe option in emails or by contacting us.

Children

The Hard News Daily is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
