Our Commitment to Transparency and Privacy
As a volunteer-run news platform, we are committed to maintaining transparency in all our operations, including any information we may offer for sale. Any funds generated from data sharing help us cover essential operational costs and improve our site’s services without compromising user trust or privacy.
Why Do We Sell Information?
The revenue from any information sales helps to:
- Support website hosting, security, and maintenance: With volunteer resources limited, these funds enable us to keep the site accessible to all readers.
- Enhance site features: Revenue allows us to expand our offerings, such as improving user experience, expanding coverage, or developing new tools.
- Maintain our volunteer-driven mission: We believe in offering independent, quality journalism without traditional advertising revenue models. Selling specific, non-personalized data can offer alternative support.
What Information Do We Sell?
We are selective about the type of information we make available. Currently, our offerings may include:
- Content licensing: News articles, photos, and multimedia content that may be relevant for external platforms or media organizations. We do not sell any personally identifiable information (PII).
Note: Any data shared complies with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR.
What Information We Don’t Sell
We do not sell or share:
- Personal user information: Names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other data that could identify individual users.
- Private communication or comments: Any data provided in a private context, such as emails or direct messages, remains confidential.
Privacy and User Rights
