This policy explains what information News22Times (“we”, “us”) collects when you use news22times.com, why, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, Canada’s PIPEDA and the Australian Privacy Act.
Summary
- The numbers you enter into our calculators are processed in your browser and are not sent to or stored on our servers.
- With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and advertising cookies to show ads.
- If you contact us, we use your name, email and message only to reply.
- We do not sell your personal information for money.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use this only to respond to you. Messages are delivered to our mailbox and are not stored in the website’s database.
Information collected automatically
- Server and security logs: our hosting and security providers (including Cloudflare) process IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
- Analytics (only with consent): Google Analytics collects pseudonymous usage data, such as pages viewed, approximate location and device type.
- Advertising (with consent where required): Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads.
Calculator inputs
Salary, tax, grade and other figures you type into a calculator are processed by JavaScript in your browser. They are not transmitted to us, and we cannot see them.
Weather forecasts: if you click “Use my forecast” on the Snow Day Calculator, your browser asks for your permission to share your location. Your coordinates are then sent directly from your browser to the US National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) to fetch the local forecast. They are not sent to or stored by us. You can always type the forecast in yourself instead.
Cookies and consent
When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept all, Reject all or Customize which cookies we use. Analytics and marketing cookies are off until you allow them. We use Google Consent Mode, so Google tags respect your choice. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer. See our Cookie Policy for the full list.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google My Ad Center.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info (US), youradchoices.ca (Canada) and youronlinechoices.com (UK/EU).
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you reject marketing cookies, you may still see non-personalised ads, which do not use your browsing history.
Legal bases (UK and EU visitors)
- Consent: analytics and advertising cookies.
- Legitimate interests: keeping the site secure, preventing abuse and replying to messages you send us.
- Legal obligation: where we must keep or disclose information by law.
Who we share information with
We share information only with service providers who help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, Cloudflare (content delivery and security), Google (analytics and advertising) and our email provider, or where the law requires it. These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
California privacy rights
We do not sell personal information for money. Personalised advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. You can opt out at any time by choosing Reject all or turning off Marketing in Cookie settings. We also honour the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, marketing cookies are turned off automatically. California residents may request access to or deletion of their personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will respond within the time the law requires, usually within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority, such as the ICO in the UK, the OAIC in Australia or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
How long we keep information
- Contact messages: up to 24 months, then deleted.
- Analytics data: up to 14 months.
- Your cookie choice: 180 days, after which we ask again.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the UK and EU. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has sent us personal information and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS and protected by a web application firewall. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
