Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

PULSE ("we", "us", "our") is a news aggregation service available at pulsenews.net. We collect publicly available RSS feeds from third-party publishers and display brief article summaries.

2. Data We Collect

PULSE does not require registration and does not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or passwords.

We may collect anonymised usage data including: pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, and approximate geographic region. This data is used solely to improve the service and is never sold to third parties.

3. Cookies

PULSE uses minimal cookies required for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.

If we add analytics services (such as Google Analytics) in the future, this policy will be updated and a cookie consent notice will be displayed.

4. Third-Party Content

Article images and thumbnails are loaded from third-party publisher servers. When your browser loads these images, the publisher's server may log your IP address as part of its own data collection. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those publishers.

5. Data Retention

We do not store personal data. Anonymised server logs (IP addresses, request paths) are retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes, after which they are deleted.

6. Your Rights

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have rights under GDPR/UK GDPR including the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we do not collect personal data, there is typically nothing to action. For any requests, contact us at [email protected].

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of PULSE after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
