Privacy Policy

Bloomsford Media Private Limited (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a company registered under the laws of the Government of India with its registered office in India, owns and operates the Hindi news website newsexpress24.com (the “Website”). The Website is dedicated to delivering accurate, timely, and comprehensive worldwide news coverage in the Hindi language, spanning categories such as politics, business, technology, sports, entertainment, health, science, and international affairs. As a responsible media entity in the news and publishing sector, we have been recognized multiple times for excellence in journalism and ethical reporting standards.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, protect, and manage personal information from visitors, users, and subscribers (collectively, “you” or “users”) who access or interact with the Website. We are fully committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices. This Policy complies with applicable Indian laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and its rules, as well as international best practices. By using the Website, you consent to the terms outlined herein. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways to enhance your user experience, deliver relevant content, and improve our services:

a. Information You Provide Voluntarily

Contact Information: When you reach out via email at contact@bloomsfordmedia.com for inquiries, feedback, newsletter subscriptions, or comments on articles, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, or other details.
User-Generated Content: If you submit comments, opinions, or participate in polls/surveys on the Website, we collect the information you share, which may include personal opinions or identifiers.
Newsletter Subscriptions: Opting into our email newsletters requires your email address and, optionally, your name or preferences.

b. Information Collected Automatically

Usage Data: Through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, we gather data on how you interact with the Website. This includes IP address, browser type and version, device information (e.g., operating system, screen resolution), pages viewed, time spent on pages, referral sources, and clickstream data.
Log Files: Server logs record details like your IP address, access times, and requested files to monitor traffic and troubleshoot issues.
Location Data: We may infer approximate location from your IP address for content personalization (e.g., regional news) but do not collect precise geolocation without explicit consent.

c. Third-Party Sources

We may receive aggregated, anonymized data from analytics providers or advertising partners to understand audience demographics and trends.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., religious beliefs, health data, or financial details) unless voluntarily provided in user comments or feedback, and even then, we handle it with utmost care.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information enables us to operate the Website efficiently and provide a seamless news-reading experience:

Content Delivery and Personalization: To recommend articles, display region-specific news, or tailor newsletters based on your browsing history.
Communication: To respond to your emails, send newsletters (with unsubscribe options), or notify you of Website updates.
Analytics and Improvement: To analyze user behavior, measure site performance, identify popular sections, and enhance content quality. For instance, aggregated data helps us decide which global news topics to prioritize.

Advertising: The Website uses Google AdSense for displaying ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (e.g., DART cookies) to serve ads based on your prior visits to newsexpress24.com and other sites. This is interest-based advertising, which may use non-personally identifiable information like browsing patterns.
Legal and Security Purposes: To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, enforce terms of use, or protect the rights and safety of users and the Company.
Aggregate Reporting: We create anonymized reports on user demographics (e.g., age groups interested in international news) for internal use and sharing with partners, without identifying individuals.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Sharing occurs only under these circumstances:

Service Providers: With trusted third parties like web hosting providers, email services, and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) who are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Google AdSense: As per Google’s policies, ad-serving data is shared with Google. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google’s Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authorities (e.g., under Indian IT Rules).
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred, with notice provided where possible.
Aggregated/Anonymized Data: Shared with advertisers or partners for marketing insights, without personal identifiers.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Website uses cookies to improve functionality:

Essential Cookies: Enable core features like page navigation and secure areas.
Performance Cookies: Track usage to optimize load times and content.
Advertising Cookies: Facilitate Google AdSense ads. Google may use cookies to show relevant ads elsewhere on the web.

However, no online transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are advised to use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive details in public comments.
