Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026

Thank you for visiting F96 News. We respect your privacy and consider it an important part of how we operate. This policy describes the information we collect from you when you access or use our website, and how that information is used, stored, and shared.

User Consent

By using F96 News (for example, when you subscribe to updates, comment, or communicate with us), you agree and provide consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this policy.

Personal Information Collected

We collect personal information from you only if you voluntarily provide it. This may include your name, email address, and any details you share when contacting us, subscribing to our newsletter, or leaving a comment. This information is not sold or given to any private organization or individual without your explicit consent.

Information Collected Automatically

When you browse F96 News without registering or subscribing, we automatically collect certain non-personally-identifiable information, such as your browser type, device and operating system, approximate geographic location (country/region/city), and the pages you visit. This helps us understand our readers and improve the site experience.

Log File Information

We automatically collect limited technical information about your connection to the internet, including your IP address, browser type and version, and referring pages, when you visit our site. This data is used for analytics, security, and improving site performance.

Cookies

F96 News uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember preferences, and serve relevant advertisements. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect certain site functionality.

Third-Party Advertising & Analytics

We use third-party services such as Google Analytics and advertising networks to serve ads and understand reader trends. These services may place cookies on your browser and collect non-personally-identifiable data about your visits to this and other websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser or ad network settings (e.g. Google Ads Settings).

Links to Other Sites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These sites have their own privacy policies, which are outside our control. Once you leave F96 News, use of any information you provide is governed by that site's privacy policy.

Information Sharing

We do not share your personally identifiable information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • When required by law, court order, or government authority.
  • To protect our rights, readers, or the security of our website.
  • With service providers who help us operate the site (e.g. hosting, analytics), under confidentiality obligations.
  • In aggregated, anonymized form to advertisers, to demonstrate audience trends — never including your name, email, or contact details.

Data Retention & Erasure

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. If you would like your information deleted, you may contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to remove it, subject to any legal retention requirements.

Accessing & Updating Your Information

If you have shared personal information with us (for example, via subscription or comments) and would like to access, correct, or delete it, you may contact us at the email below. We will respond in good faith, though we may decline requests that are unreasonable, repetitive, or technically impractical.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

F96 News does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Grievance & Contact

If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please write to us at contact@f96news.com. We aim to address genuine concerns as promptly as possible.
