Unbiased Headlines ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website unbiasedheadlines.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (stored as a salted hash — we never store plaintext passwords). You may also provide a display name.
Usage Data. We automatically collect standard web analytics data: pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, operating system, referral source, and IP address. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Push Notification Data. If you enable push notifications, we store a push subscription endpoint and cryptographic keys provided by your browser. This data is tied to your device, not your identity, unless you are logged in.
Preferences. Notification category preferences, audio speed settings, saved articles, and feedback you provide (thumbs up/down) are stored in association with your account or device.
Device Fingerprint. We collect a non-identifying device fingerprint to detect suspicious login activity and prevent abuse. This fingerprint is derived from browser characteristics and is not used for tracking across sites.
We use the information we collect to:
By creating an account, you consent to receive emails from us, including:
You can unsubscribe from non-transactional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email or by adjusting your notification preferences in your account settings.
We may display advertisements on the Service. To support relevant ad delivery, we may share non-identifying usage data (such as content categories viewed, device type, and general location) with advertising partners. We do not sell your name, email address, or other personally identifying information to advertisers.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), hashed passwords (bcrypt), and restricted access to production databases. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Service is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 18, we will delete it promptly.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what data we collect, the right to delete your data, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from your country.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
