Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly and information generated automatically when you use our site.

Information you provide

• Newsletter sign-up — your email address when you subscribe to The Morning Brief.
• Account registration — name, email address, and password if you create an account.
• Comments and submissions — any content you post or submit through our platform.

Information collected automatically

• Log data — IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, and timestamps.
• Device information — operating system, screen resolution, and language settings.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that help us remember preferences and analyse usage. See Section 4 for details.

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• Delivering, personalising, and improving our news content and tools.
• Sending newsletters and editorial updates you have subscribed to.
• Analysing site traffic and reader behaviour to improve user experience.
• Preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Complying with legal obligations under applicable Nepali law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We process your personal data on the following bases:

• Consent — when you sign up for a newsletter or create an account.
• Legitimate interests — analytics, security, and improving our services, where your rights do not override those interests.
• Legal obligation — where required by Nepali law or regulatory authority.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the site and understand how readers engage with our content. The types we use include:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to function (e.g., session management, security tokens). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — help us count visits and understand which pages are most popular. We use aggregated, anonymised data.
• Preference cookies — remember your language and display settings.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading our content.

We use a limited number of trusted third-party services to operate our platform. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Hosting and infrastructure — cloud servers that store and serve our content.
• Analytics — aggregated traffic and performance data.
• Email delivery — for newsletter distribution.
• Embedded media — YouTube videos embedded on our pages are subject to YouTube's privacy policy.

We do not embed social-media trackers on article pages beyond sharing buttons that load only when clicked.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Account data is kept until you request deletion. Server log data is typically retained for up to 90 days.

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion — request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Withdrawal of consent — unsubscribe from newsletters at any time via the link in any email.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address in Section 9.

Our services are not directed to individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this policy or wish to exercise your rights, please contact our editorial team at:
