Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how The Daily Dispatch ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit thedailydispatch.space (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
What we collect
We collect only the minimum information needed to operate and improve the Site:
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records IP addresses, browser type, the pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are used for security and basic traffic analysis.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies to remember preferences (such as your selected country or category) and to enable third-party services described below.
- Information you provide. If you use the Contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit so we can reply to you.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
News content and third-party sources
The Site is a news aggregator. Headlines, summaries, and thumbnails are retrieved from the GNews API, which sources them from independent publishers. When you click a story, you are taken to the original publisher's website, where their own privacy policy applies. We do not control and are not responsible for those external sites.
Third-party services
We rely on the following third parties, each of which has its own privacy practices:
- GNews — provides the news data shown on the Site. See gnews.io/privacy.
- Google AdSense [remove this line if you don't run ads] — may serve advertisements and use cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to deliver ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out at google.com/settings/ads.
- Google Analytics [remove if you don't use it] — helps us understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Hostinger — our web hosting provider, which processes server logs as part of normal hosting operations.
Your choices
You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent. Some parts of the Site may not function as expected if cookies are disabled. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR (European Economic Area) or CCPA (California) to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@thedailydispatch.space.
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data retention and security
We retain server logs for a limited period necessary for security and analytics. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry. We use reasonable technical measures to protect information, but no online transmission is ever 100% secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
