Privacy Policy
Data controller: News Unlimited · Copenhagen, Denmark
What this policy covers
This policy explains what data we collect when you visit news-unlimited.com or any site in the News Unlimited network, how we use it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We collect very little data. We do not use advertising trackers, profiling tools, or third-party analytics that follow you across the web.
Data we collect
Website analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how our sites are used. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track you across different websites. The data we see is aggregated and anonymised — we can see that a page was visited, but not by whom.
No personal data is processed for analytics purposes.
Newsletter
If you sign up for one of our newsletters, we collect your email address. We first send you an email asking you to confirm, and you are only added to the list once you click the link in it. We use your address to send you the newsletter and nothing else: we do not share it, sell it, or use it for advertising.
Alongside your address we record where you signed up — which of our sites, the page and its section — and the country our hosting provider reports for your connection (the country, not your IP address). We use this only to send you newsletters that match what you read, in the right language.
We don’t track you in our newsletters. Our email provider counts opens and link clicks only as anonymous totals: we can see how many readers opened an issue or clicked a story, never who. Links to our articles may also use our short links, which count clicks anonymously as described under Link clicks.
To stop the signup form being misused to send emails to people who never asked for them, we keep a scrambled (hashed) version of your email address and IP address for 24 hours. After that it is deleted.
Email service provider: Brevo, an email service based in France, stores your address and sends our newsletters on our behalf as our data processor, under a data processing agreement.
Legal basis and retention: your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). We keep your address until you unsubscribe, which you can do at any time with the link in every newsletter.
Link clicks
When we share our own articles — on social media, in our newsletter, or in emails — we often use short links on our own domains, such as go.news-unlimited.com. If you follow one, we record that a click happened before sending you on to the article. We store which link was followed and when, the domain of the site you came from, the country reported by our hosting provider, and a broad browser category such as Chrome or Safari.
We do not store IP addresses, full browser identifiers, cookies, or anything else that could identify you or connect one click to another. These are counts, not profiles — we use them only to see which channels our readers arrive from. Detailed records are deleted after 90 days, after which only daily totals remain. No personal data is processed for this purpose.
Contact enquiries
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry and do not retain it beyond what is necessary for that purpose.
Cookies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our sites may set strictly necessary technical cookies — for example, to maintain a browsing session — but these do not identify you personally and do not require your consent under applicable law.
Your rights under GDPR
As a person whose data we hold, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data
- Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
- Object — object to our processing of your data
- Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@news-unlimited.com. We will respond within 30 days.
