6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

NewsBreak24 uses or may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Website, understand Website usage, measure performance and support other Website functionality.

Cookies are small data files that websites may store on or access through a visitor’s device.

Google Analytics may process information such as:

  • approximate geographic information;

  • referring websites or traffic sources;

  • pages viewed;

  • interactions with Website content;

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies as part of providing analytics services.

Information processed through Google Analytics is also subject to Google’s applicable privacy and data-processing practices.

8. Google Tag Manager

NewsBreak24 uses Google Tag Manager to manage certain Website tags and technologies.

Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system that helps us deploy and manage technologies used on the Website, including analytics and other Website functionality.

The particular information processed through technologies managed using Google Tag Manager depends on the tags and services enabled through the Website.

Google Tag Manager should not be understood as meaning that every Google or third-party tracking service is necessarily active on NewsBreak24.

9. Google Search Console and PageSpeed Insights

NewsBreak24 uses Google services including Google Search Console and PageSpeed Insights to monitor Website visibility, search performance, technical health and Website performance.

These services help us understand how NewsBreak24 performs in search results and identify technical or performance improvements.

The operation of Google services is also subject to Google’s applicable terms and privacy practices.

10. Advertising

NewsBreak24 may display advertising provided directly by us or through third-party advertising services, including Google advertising services where enabled.

Advertising technologies may use cookies, tags or similar technologies to deliver, manage, secure or measure advertising, subject to applicable requirements and visitor choices.

NewsBreak24 does not automatically provide advertisers with your personally identifiable contact information merely because you visit our Website or view an advertisement.

Where third-party advertising technologies independently collect or process information, their processing may also be governed by their respective privacy policies.

Additional information about advertising technologies may be provided in our Cookie Policy or applicable consent mechanism.

11. Reader Revenue and Audience Features

NewsBreak24 uses Google’s Reader Revenue Manager infrastructure.

Reader Revenue Manager may support audience or reader-revenue functionality where such features are enabled by NewsBreak24.

The availability of particular features may change over time, and connection of the service does not necessarily mean that every Reader Revenue Manager feature is currently offered to visitors.

Where NewsBreak24 introduces registrations, newsletters, reader contributions, subscriptions or similar features that involve additional collection of personal data, this Privacy Policy and any relevant notices may be updated accordingly.

12. Embedded and Third-Party Content

NewsBreak24 articles and pages may contain or embed content from third-party services, including social-media platforms, video platforms or other external services.

When you view or interact with embedded third-party content, the relevant third party may collect or process information about your interaction in accordance with its own privacy practices.

NewsBreak24 does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party services.

13. External Links

NewsBreak24 may contain links to external websites, documents, social-media platforms and other third-party services.

Once you leave NewsBreak24 and visit an external service, the privacy practices of that service will apply.

We encourage users to review relevant third-party privacy policies before providing personal information.

NewsBreak24 does not currently operate a regular email newsletter service.

If we introduce newsletters, alerts or other optional communications in the future, we may process information such as your email address and communication preferences for the purpose of providing those services.

Where consent is required, appropriate consent mechanisms will be provided.

Users will be able to unsubscribe from optional marketing or newsletter communications through an available unsubscribe mechanism or other appropriate method.

Third-party service providers may independently process certain information under their own applicable privacy policies and terms.

18. International Processing

Some technology and service providers used by NewsBreak24, including global technology providers, may operate infrastructure or process information outside India.

Where personal data is transferred or processed outside India, NewsBreak24 aims to handle such processing in accordance with applicable Indian law and any restrictions or requirements that may apply.

19. Data Retention

NewsBreak24 retains personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate editorial, operational, security, contractual or legal purposes.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

For example, information relating to:

  • a general enquiry;

  • recruitment application;

  • commercial relationship;

  • correction request;

  • formal grievance;

  • copyright complaint; or

  • journalistic source or published report

may require different retention periods.

When personal data is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymised or otherwise securely disposed of, subject to applicable legal, editorial or record-keeping requirements.

20. Data Security

NewsBreak24 takes reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to its operations to protect personal data against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, internet transmission or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should therefore exercise appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive or confidential information electronically.

21. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable Indian law and the circumstances of the processing, individuals may have rights concerning their personal data.

These may include rights to:

  • obtain information concerning personal data being processed;

  • request correction, completion or updating of personal data;

  • request erasure of personal data where applicable;

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

  • raise a grievance concerning the handling of personal data; and

NewsBreak24 may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.

Certain requests may be subject to exceptions or limitations under applicable law, including circumstances relating to journalism, legal obligations, disputes, security, record-keeping or the rights of other individuals.

22. Withdrawal of Consent

Where NewsBreak24 relies on your consent for a particular processing activity, you may withdraw that consent through an available mechanism or by contacting us.

Withdrawal of consent will not necessarily affect processing that was lawfully carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Withdrawal also may not require NewsBreak24 to delete information that we are permitted or required to retain for legitimate journalistic, legal, security or other applicable purposes.

23. Children

NewsBreak24 is a general news publication and is not specifically directed at children.

We do not intentionally design our Website for the purpose of collecting personal data from children.

Where the processing of a child’s personal data requires consent or other safeguards under applicable Indian law, NewsBreak24 aims to comply with the relevant requirements.

If you believe a child has provided personal data to NewsBreak24 in circumstances requiring attention, please contact:
