News Bites (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using newsbites.ae, you agree to the practices described here.
What We Collect
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name. This is handled through MailPoet, our newsletter platform, which stores this information on our behalf.
Like most websites, our server and security systems automatically log standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed — for security and performance purposes. This is handled through Wordfence, our website security plugin.
We do not collect payment information, government ID numbers, or other sensitive personal data through this website.
How We Use Your Data
- To send you the News Bites newsletter, if you have subscribed.
- To protect the website from spam, abuse, and security threats.
- To understand, in aggregate, how readers use the website, so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Cookies
This website uses a small number of functional cookies: caching cookies (via LiteSpeed Cache) to load pages faster, and security cookies (via Wordfence) to protect against malicious activity. These cookies do not personalise advertising and are not used to track you across other websites.
Tools We May Add in the Future
As News Bites grows, we may introduce Google Analytics (to understand site traffic) and Google AdSense (to display advertising). Neither is active on this website today. If and when either is added, this policy will be updated first, and — where required — a cookie consent option will be presented to you before any tracking or ad-personalisation cookies are set.
Your Rights
- You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
- You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us directly.
Data Retention
We retain your newsletter subscription data for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your data is retained only as long as necessary to process that request and meet any legal requirements, after which it is deleted.
