Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date]

gm247news (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Information we collect

  • Newsletter subscribers: your email address, subscription status, and the date you subscribed — collected only when you sign up, with a confirmation step required before you’re added to our list (double opt-in).
  • Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and message, sent directly to our team to respond to your inquiry. We do not store these in a database beyond what’s needed to respond.
  • Comments: your name, email address, and comment content, if you choose to comment on an article.
  • Technical/usage data: standard web server logs, and if enabled, Google Analytics data (see “Cookies” below).

What we don’t collect

Saved/bookmarked stories are stored only in your own browser (localStorage) and are never sent to or stored on our servers — we have no way of knowing which stories you’ve saved.

Why we collect it

We process your information to: deliver newsletter content you’ve requested, respond to inquiries, publish and moderate comments, and understand site usage to improve our reporting and site performance.

Cookies and local storage

We use essential browser storage to remember your preferences (dark mode, text size, saved stories, location for weather). If Google Analytics is active on this site, it may set cookies to measure visitor activity — this only activates once we’ve configured it, and standard Google privacy practices apply. You’ll see a cookie consent notice on your first visit where you can manage these preferences.

Third parties

We use third-party services to operate this site, including our email delivery provider (for sending confirmation and contact emails) and our hosting provider. These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Your rights under POPIA

You have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your information, and object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, email gm247news@gmail.com.

Data retention

We retain newsletter subscriber data until you unsubscribe, and comment/contact data as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against loss, unauthorized access, and disclosure.

Children’s privacy

gm247news is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected with an updated “Last updated” date above.
