Truths and News (“TNN”) takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, TNN collects non-personally-identifying information typically made available by web browsers and servers, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TNN’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TNN’s visitors use its website. From time to time, TNN may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
TNN also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. TNN does not use such information to identify its visitors and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to TNN’s websites choose to interact with TNN in ways that require TNN to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TNN gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for TruthsandNews.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, TNN collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TNN. TNN does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
TNN may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, TNN may monitor the most popular articles on TruthsandNews.com. TNN may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TNN does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
TNN discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on TNN’s behalf or to provide services available at TNN’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using TNN’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if TNN or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TNN goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of TNN may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as outlined in this policy. Otherwise, TNN will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, TNN discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law or when TNN believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TNN, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a TNN website and have supplied your email address, TNN may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with TNN and its products. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. TNN takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. TNN uses cookies to help TNN identify and track visitors, their usage of TNN’s websites, and their website access preferences. TNN visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TNN’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of TNN’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Ads
Ads appearing on any TNN websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement, to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by TNN and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Links to Third Party Sites
This privacy policy only applies to information collected by TNN. This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that TNN does not own or control, or employees that TNN does not manage. A TNN website may contain links to third-party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites if any. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personally-identifying information, and TNN (www.TruthsandNews.com) and its affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personally-identifying information by any third party.
Security
Personal information about users that is maintained on TNN systems is protected using industry-standard security measures. We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. All non-personally-identifying information, potentially personally-identifying, and personally-identifying information described above is stored on restricted database servers. You should be aware that TNN (www.TruthsandNews.com) has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services which may be linked from here. You should keep your username, password, or other access information safe and confidential to protect against unauthorized access to your account information and services.
How Long We Retain Your Data
TNN holding personal data or information of providers of information shall not retain such information for longer than is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used or is otherwise required under the User Agreement or any other law for the time being in force or unless ordered to the contrary by any order of a court of law. The information collected shall be used for the purpose for which it has been collected.
Choice/Opt-out
If we ever send you information by email concerning new products, services, or information that you did not expressly request, we will provide you with an email address by which you may request no further notices.
Address Book Data
Any external address book data (email contacts, etc.) that a user voluntarily gives TNN access to will only be used for the described feature (looking up friends, etc.), and will not be stored or repurposed.
Ethics Policy
We strictly adhere to the core values of journalism, including the principles of objectivity, impartiality, truthfulness, and fairness. We do not publish any unverified or misleading information/content. Also, we prohibit our editorial team from engaging in yellow journalism or clickbait.
Corrections Policy
TNN (www.TruthsandNews.com) believes in transparency and honesty. Therefore, TNN will correct mistakes promptly. Fullness and freshness of information represent two inescapable values in online journalism, and TNN believes that accuracy is equally essential. We ensure expediency in making corrections when needed. TNN is dedicated to informing its readers when it has made a mistake (however big or small), conveying the error’s severity, and providing the correct information as soon as the mistake is brought to our attention. When an error is detected within an article, TNN immediately works to find the correct information and clearly displays the corrections wherever possible within the article. The corrections will include:
- The correct information.
- What was originally published that was incorrect.
- The date (and time, if available) when the change took place.
The process to report errors from within articles is made easy to understand by providing an email address and form to contact us at the beginning of each article. Whenever errors cannot be amended within the body of an article’s content, corrections are displayed clearly in the last paragraph of the news content. Rather than remove completely the content containing a mistake, we provide clarification and admittance of our mistakes to preserve transparency.
Privacy Policy Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. We may notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by placing a notice on our site for a reasonable period of time. TNN (www.TruthsandNews.com) encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its privacy policy. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Privacy Policy shall constitute your consent to the updated Privacy Policy.
