This Privacy Policy explains how Newzo Pedia ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit https://newzopedia.com (the "Website"). By using the Website you agree to the practices described here. This policy is effective from 8 October 2026.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. We collect the details you choose to provide, for example when you:

- contact us by email (your name, email address and message).
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website our servers and service providers automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit.
Information stored on your device. Features such as bookmarks and likes are saved in your own browser's local storage and are not sent to us.
2. How we use your information
- to run, maintain and improve the Website;
- to send newsletters you have subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email);
- to manage contributor accounts and review, edit and publish submitted stories;
- to moderate comments and prevent spam and abuse;
- to respond to your messages and requests;
- to understand how the Website is used and to measure the performance of content and advertising;
- to comply with the law and protect the rights and safety of our users and ourselves.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies to keep the Website working (for example to keep you signed in and to protect forms from misuse), to remember your preferences, to understand how the Website is used, and to show advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may stop parts of the Website from working. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.
4. Advertising
We may show advertisements served by third parties, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this Website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses data.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Website. These services collect information such as pages visited and time spent, using cookies, and report it to us in aggregate form.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- with service providers who help us run the Website, such as hosting, email delivery, analytics and advertising partners, who may use it only to provide their services;
- when you publish something publicly, such as a comment or a contributed story with your name and profile;
- when required by law, court order or a government authority, or to protect our rights, users or the public;
- as part of a merger, sale or transfer of our business, in which case this policy will continue to apply.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contributor account data is kept until you ask us to delete the account. Published content may remain on the Website after an account is closed.
8. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and hashed passwords. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, withdraw consent you have given, or raise a grievance about how we handle your data.

Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the Website after a change means you accept the updated policy.
