Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how AndroidNewWorld (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use androidnewworld.com (the “Service”).

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

Account info — username, email address, name, and password (stored hashed) when you register.
Profile info — optional bio and profile picture.
User content — articles, comments, likes, and saved posts you create on the Service.
Communications — emails or messages you send to us.

Information collected automatically

Log data — IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer, and timestamps.
Cookies — session cookies for authentication and preference cookies for theme (light/dark) and similar.
Analytics — aggregated usage metrics (page views, popular content) that do not directly identify you.

2. How we use your information

To operate and maintain the Service (account authentication, content delivery, comments).
To send transactional emails (password reset, account notifications).
To improve the Service through aggregated analytics.
To respond to your support requests.
To enforce our Terms of Service and detect abuse.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use:

Strictly necessary cookies — required for sign-in and CSRF protection. The Service will not work without them.
Functional cookies — remember preferences such as your selected theme.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may break parts of the Service such as sign-in.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only:

Publicly — your username, posts, comments, and profile info that you choose to publish.
With service providers — hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers acting on our behalf, bound by confidentiality.
For legal reasons — when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, property, or safety.
In a business transfer — if AndroidNewWorld is acquired or merged, your data may be transferred to the new owner under the same protections.

5. Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we’ll remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.

6. Security

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, CSRF protection, and reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
Delete your account and associated data
Object to or restrict certain processing
Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email admin@androidnewworld.com.

8. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

9. International data transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than the one you reside in. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

10. Third-party services

Articles may embed content (videos, code samples, images) hosted on third-party services. Those services have their own privacy policies, which we don’t control.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We’ll post the updated policy here with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the Service.
