WorldFastNews respects your privacy. This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this policy short and plain because we believe you should be able to understand it without a law degree.
Information we collect
You can read WorldFastNews without creating an account. We collect limited information in the following situations:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address, and comment text you provide, along with technical details such as your IP address and browser type, which help us detect spam.
- Messages: If you contact our newsroom, we keep the information you send us so we can respond and follow up on tips or corrections.
- Site usage: Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools record anonymous, aggregated information about visits — such as which pages are read and which browsers are used — so we can keep the site fast and reliable.
Cookies
WorldFastNews uses a small number of cookies: some remember your preferences, some help us understand which stories readers value, and some keep the site secure. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work, although some preferences may not be remembered.
Advertising and cookies
WorldFastNews may show advertising supplied by Google and other third-party vendors. Those vendors may use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites, so that the advertising you see is more relevant to your interests. WorldFastNews itself does not use your personal information to target advertising, as described above.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s ad settings, where you can control how Google uses information to show you ads and turn off personalised ads entirely. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, as described in the Cookies section above.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve WorldFastNews, to respond to reader messages, to moderate comments, to protect the site from abuse, and to meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to anyone, and we do not use it to show you advertising based on your reading habits.
Who we share information with
We share limited information only with service providers that help operate the site, such as our hosting provider and spam-detection services, and only as much as they need to do their job. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our readers and staff.
How long we keep information
Comments and their metadata are kept so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments. Messages to our newsroom are kept for as long as needed to act on them. Aggregated usage statistics are kept in a form that does not identify individual readers.
Your rights
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, subject to any legal or editorial obligations to keep certain records. To make a request, reach out through our Contact page and we will respond as promptly as we can.
Links to other websites
Our stories link to other websites, including sources and official documents. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time as the site changes. The current version will always be published on this page, and continued use of WorldFastNews after an update means you accept the revised policy.
