Last Updated: January 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Insider Secret News Company LLC (“Insider Secret News,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about you when you access or use our websites, newsletters, and other online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services, you acknowledge you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. SCOPE AND AUDIENCE

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate steps to delete it.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect information in three main ways: (A) information you provide, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information from third parties.

A. Information You Provide

Depending on how you use the Services, you may provide:

• Contact information (e.g., name, email address) when subscribing to a newsletter, contacting us, or submitting a form

• Communications (e.g., messages you send to us, support requests)

• User-submitted content (e.g., comments or posts, if enabled), which may be public depending on the feature

• Preferences (e.g., communication preferences)

No subscriptions / no payments: We do not sell paid subscriptions through the Services at this time. If we ever offer paid products in the future, payment processing and related data handling will be described at that time.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Services, we and our partners may automatically collect:

• Device and browser data (device type, operating system, browser type, settings)

• Identifiers (IP address; cookie identifiers; mobile advertising identifiers where applicable)

• Usage data (pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, referring URLs, approximate location such as city/region)

• Log data (timestamps, error logs, performance data)

This information is commonly collected using technologies like cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar tracking tools.

C. Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from:

• Advertising partners (e.g., ad networks and measurement providers)

• Analytics providers

• Social platforms if you share our content or interact with social features

• Service providers that help us operate the Services (e.g., email delivery platforms)

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use information for the following business purposes:

A. To Provide and Operate the Services

• Maintain site functionality and performance

• Deliver requested content and newsletters

• Respond to inquiries and provide support

• Manage preferences (e.g., email unsubscribe requests)

B. To Improve and Develop the Services

• Analyze usage trends and readership

• Diagnose technical issues

• Improve content delivery and user experience

• Measure and improve site performance and engagement

C. Advertising, Measurement, and Monetization

Because we operate a free news service, we may use information to:

• Display advertising (including contextual and, where permitted, interest-based advertising)

• Limit ad frequency and reduce repetitive ads

• Measure ad performance and prevent fraud

D. Security, Compliance, and Legal Purposes

• Protect against spam, abuse, fraud, and security incidents

• Enforce our Terms and policies

• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests

E. Aggregated / De-Identified Data

We may create aggregated or de-identified datasets for analytics and reporting. We do not attempt to re-identify de-identified data except where permitted by law.

4. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

A. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to enable functionality, analytics, and advertising.

B. Types of Cookies We May Use

• Strictly Necessary: required for core site functions

• Functional: remembers preferences and improves features

• Analytics: helps us understand how users use the Services

• Advertising: helps deliver and measure ads, including interest-based ads where permitted

C. Your Cookie Choices

You can control cookies through:

• Your browser settings (block/delete cookies; manage site data)

• Your device settings (mobile ad ID controls, where available)

• Any on-site cookie banner or consent tools (where implemented/required)

Blocking cookies may affect features and site performance.

5. INTEREST-BASED ADS / “TARGETED ADVERTISING”

We may work with advertising partners who collect information across websites or apps to provide ads based on inferred interests, where allowed by law and platform policy.

You can often opt out of interest-based advertising via:

• Device ad settings (e.g., Android/Apple ad personalization controls)

• Industry opt-out tools (e.g., DAA / NAI opt-outs, where applicable)

Opting out does not remove ads; it may make ads less relevant.

6. HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

We may disclose information as follows:

A. Service Providers

We share information with vendors that help operate the Services (hosting, analytics, email delivery, security, etc.) under contractual obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy.

B. Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may share or allow collection of identifiers and usage data by partners to deliver, measure, and improve advertising and analytics.

C. Legal, Safety, and Rights Protection

We may disclose information to comply with law, enforce policies, or protect rights, safety, and security (including responding to subpoenas, court orders, or lawful requests).

D. Business Transfers

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., security, compliance, dispute resolution).

8. SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You use the Services at your own risk.

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where we or our service providers operate. These locations may have different privacy protections than your jurisdiction.

Where required by law, we take steps intended to provide appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access (request a copy of certain data)

• Deletion (request deletion, subject to legal exceptions)

• Opt-out of certain processing (such as targeted advertising in some jurisdictions)

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails via the “unsubscribe” link in our emails. We may still send non-marketing communications (e.g., policy updates).

To exercise privacy rights, contact us using the details in Section 13.

11. DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no widely accepted standard, our Services do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

12. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

Our Services may link to third-party websites or include third-party tools (including advertising). We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information to them.
