Service Providers
The website may use WordPress, hosting/security providers, email delivery, privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds and analytics/advertising services only when enabled with consent.
Scope of This Policy
This policy explains how Digital Saboot News collects, uses and protects information through the website, newsletter, news tips, complaints, reporter applications, grievance and data-rights requests.
Information We May Collect
We may receive a name, email address, mobile number, address or location, department, message, documents, photographs, video and consent timestamp that you voluntarily submit. A one-way technical fingerprint may be used for security and abuse prevention without intentionally retaining a raw IP address in submission records.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to verify material, contact the sender, review public-interest complaints, manage newsletter consent, handle privacy or grievance requests, protect security and maintain accountable records.
No Automatic Publication
Material submitted through a form is not published automatically. Editorial verification, public interest, legal risk, private information and right of reply are reviewed before publication.
Cookies and Local Preferences
Essential cookies may support language selection, consent, security and core website functionality. Analytics or advertising scripts load only when configured by the administrator and permitted through optional visitor consent.
Embeds and External Services
Playing embedded video, social-media or other external content may connect to the relevant service, which may process data under its own privacy terms.
Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be shared on a limited basis with authorised editorial personnel, technical service providers, legal advisers or competent authorities acting under a valid requirement.
Data Security
Role-based administrative access, nonce verification, input sanitisation, output escaping, encrypted evidence storage, limited file types and rate limiting are used. No online system can be guaranteed completely risk-free.
Retention
The currently configured general submission-retention period is 730 days. Some records may be retained longer for verification, editorial accountability, disputes, security or a lawful requirement. Unconfirmed newsletter requests may be removed after a limited period.
Your Choices and Rights
You may request access, correction, withdrawal of consent or erasure through the data-rights page or at digitalsabootnews@gmail.com. Where editorial record integrity must be preserved, identifying details may be anonymised while the underlying record is retained.
Children’s Information
We do not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children. Consider parental permission and safety risks before submitting sensitive material concerning a minor.
Contact and Policy Changes
Privacy questions may be sent to digitalsabootnews@gmail.com. This policy may be updated when practices, law or services change; material changes will be published on this page.
