Adeeba E Services Private Limited (operating as "Adeeba News") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and security of our readers. As a digital publisher, we rely on data to deliver personalized news, maintain our platform, and keep our journalism accessible. However, we believe that transparency is paramount.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit adeeba.news, subscribe to our newsletters, or interact with our digital journalism.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better reading experience. This data falls into two primary categories: information you provide to us directly, and information we collect automatically.

• Information You Provide: When you create an account to save articles, sign up for The Daily Briefing newsletter, or submit a comment, we collect your name, email address, and profile preferences.
• Automated Data: Like most major publications, we collect data regarding your device, IP address, browser type, and reading habits on our site (such as which articles you read and how long you stay on a page) to help us understand what news matters most to our audience in West Bengal and beyond.

2. How We Use Your Data

The information we collect is used strictly to enhance our editorial products and sustain our newsroom operations. We use your data to:

• Deliver personalized news feeds and daily newsletters to your inbox.
• Analyze readership trends to guide our editorial focus and reporting resources.
• Ensure the technical stability, security, and performance of our website.
• Display relevant, localized advertisements that allow us to keep our journalism free to read.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Adeeba News utilizes cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to recognize your device and remember your preferences (such as your saved articles).

We partner with third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to measure site traffic. We also work with advertising networks that may use cookies to deliver ads tailored to your interests. You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies, though this may limit your ability to use certain features on our site, such as logging into your Reader Dashboard.

4. Data Sharing & Security

Adeeba E Services Private Limited does not sell your personal contact information to third-party data brokers. We only share information under the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share necessary data with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as our email delivery platform and database hosting (Firebase/Google Cloud).
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid legal request from law enforcement authorities.
