Last updated: March 10, 2026

1. Who We Are

Nutn News is an independent digital news publication. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit our website. References to “we,” “us,” or “Nutn News” refer to the Nutn News editorial team and its operating entity.

2. What We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data:

  • Browsing & device data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is collected automatically when you visit the Site.
  • Analytics identifiers: Cookie-based identifiers (such as those set by Google Analytics) used to distinguish unique visitors and sessions.
  • Notification tokens: If you subscribe to web push notifications, your browser generates a subscription endpoint token. We store this token to deliver notifications to your device. No email address or name is required.
  • Voluntary submissions: If you contact us or submit a tip, we collect the information you provide (e.g., email address, message content).

3. How We Collect It

  • Cookies and local storage: Small files stored on your device to remember preferences and measure traffic. See our Cookies Policy for details.
  • Analytics tools: We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) that collect aggregated usage data.
  • Notification API: Browser-native push subscription mechanism. See our Web Notifications page for details.

4. Purpose of Processing

  • Measuring and understanding how readers use the Site (analytics).
  • Improving Site performance, content relevance, and user experience.
  • Delivering breaking news and editorial updates via push notifications (only if you opt in).
  • Responding to editorial tips and reader correspondence.

Our legal bases for processing under GDPR include: legitimate interests (analytics, site improvement), consent (marketing cookies, push notifications), and contract/pre-contractual measures (correspondence).

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data with:

  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics): Aggregated usage statistics.
  • Hosting & CDN providers: Infrastructure partners who process access logs as part of delivering the Site.
  • Push notification service providers: Browser vendors (Google, Apple, Mozilla) route notification delivery.

All third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements or operate under their own published privacy policies and applicable data protection law.

6. Data Retention

  • Analytics data: retained for up to 26 months in aggregate form, per Google Analytics default settings.
  • Push notification tokens: retained until you unsubscribe or the token expires.
  • Correspondence: retained for as long as necessary to resolve your query, typically no longer than 12 months.
  • Server access logs: retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes.
