Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 18, 2026

TrendingBreakingNewsIndia.com values your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, process, and safeguard your information when you visit our digital news portal. Given that our audience profile contains more than 60% of readers from the United States, alongside substantial traffic from India and Europe, our backend processing routines strictly align with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Information Technology Rules, 2026 of India.

1. Information We Collect Automatically

When you navigate our site, certain technical metrics are gathered through automated tracking infrastructure:

• Device and Usage Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and precise timestamp logs of your news reading sessions.
• Cookies and Web Beacons: Small identifiers used by programmatic advertising networks and analytics scripts to assess content delivery performance and map user navigation routes.

2. Third-Party Vendor Processing & Analytics

We partner with third-party vendors to maintain and monetize our journalism operations:

• Google AdSense: Uses tracking cookies to serve contextual advertisements tailored to your web interests. Users may manage these settings via Google Ad Settings.
• Google Analytics: Aggregates traffic distributions to assess our global viewership benchmarks, verifying that our primary reader cluster remains situated within the US region.

3. European Union Privacy Rights (GDPR Compliance)

For visitors browsing from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal ground for processing data rests on your explicit consent or our legitimate interest in running news media. You possess the following statutory rights:

• The right to access, rectify, or demand the total erasure of your technical logs.
• The right to object to data processing or withdraw tracking consent at any moment via your local browser control panel.

4. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA Notice)

Because more than 60% of our audience is US-based, we provide explicit provisions for California residents:

• Right to Know & Access: You can request details regarding the categories of personal data we have collected or disclosed over the past 12 months.
• Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell your personal identifying data. However, third-party programmatic ad systems may utilize non-identifiable browser histories. You may initiate a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request through your browser's tracking restrictions.
• Non-Discrimination: Exercising your privacy rights will never result in degraded access to our breaking news feeds.

5. Data Retention & IT Rules, 2026 Compliance

In accordance with the regulatory standards enforced under Indian IT Rules, 2026, when an administrative order or valid consumer grievance leads to the removal or restriction of any content or interactive communication log, the underlying metadata and user-interaction records are securely preserved for a mandatory minimum period of 180 days to facilitate legal verification and compliance transparency.
