Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is NewsHubbi’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website and other sites we own and operate.

We only collect personal information when it is truly necessary to provide a service to you. We collect such information by fair, lawful, and transparent means, with your knowledge where required and, when applicable, on the basis of your consent or another valid legal basis under applicable law.

As our Website operates under the laws of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands is a Member State of the European Union, we seek to handle personal data in accordance with applicable European privacy and data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal Data Collection

When you use our Website, certain information may be collected automatically, including technical and usage-related data such as device type, browser type, approximate location, pages visited, time spent on pages, and interactions with content, advertisements, or features.

Since our site may use Google Ad Exchange, Google Analytics, and other advertising or analytics technologies, data may also be collected through cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as measuring traffic, improving content, displaying advertising, preventing fraud, and, where permitted, personalizing ads.

Depending on the circumstances, some of this information may be considered personal data under applicable law, even if it does not directly identify you by name.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where required under applicable law, including the GDPR, we process personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. This may include:

Your consent

The performance of a service you requested

Compliance with legal obligations

Our legitimate interests, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms

Where consent is required, especially for non-essential cookies and advertising technologies, we will request it through our cookie banner or Consent Management Platform (CMP).

Cookies and Consent

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functionality, improve user experience, analyze traffic, and support advertising and measurement services.

Essential cookies may be placed without prior consent where legally permitted because they are necessary for the operation, security, or core functionality of the Website.

Non-essential cookies, including analytics, advertising, personalization, and similar third-party cookies, will only be used where required by law after the user has provided valid consent through our cookie banner or Consent Management Platform (CMP).

Users must be given the ability to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies. Consent choices may be updated later through the cookie settings tool, where available.

Disabling certain cookies may affect some features or services on the Website.

Google Advertising and Analytics Technologies

Our Website may use Google services, including Google Ad Exchange, Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and other Google advertising and measurement technologies. These services may collect information such as browser details, device identifiers, IP addresses, usage information, advertising interaction data, and similar technical information.

Google and its partners may use cookies, advertising identifiers, web beacons, and similar technologies to measure traffic, improve advertising services, prevent fraud, analyze user interactions, and, where permitted by law and user consent, personalize advertisements.

For more information about how Google collects and processes information from websites and applications that use its services, please visit:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Users may manage, review, customize, or disable personalized advertising through Google’s official advertising preference tools:

Google Ad Settings:
https://adssettings.google.com

Google My Ad Center:
https://myadcenter.google.com

These tools allow users to control how Google personalizes advertisements, manage advertising preferences, and review information associated with advertising activities.

Where required by applicable law, including the GDPR and related European privacy regulations, advertising personalization and non-essential advertising cookies will only be used after valid user consent has been obtained through our cookie banner or Consent Management Platform (CMP).

Users may also manage certain cookie preferences through our consent management tools, where available.

Data Storage and Protection

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate interests.

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sharing of Data

We do not sell personally identifiable information. We may share data with trusted service providers, advertising partners, analytics providers, hosting providers, and similar partners where necessary for the operation of the Website, measurement, advertising delivery, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or related business purposes.

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or where necessary to protect rights, property, safety, or the integrity of our services.

International Data Transfers

Because some of our service providers or technology partners may operate in countries outside your own jurisdiction, personal data may be transferred internationally. Where required by law, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

Your Rights

Depending on your location and the law that applies to you, including the GDPR where relevant, you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to:

Request access to your data

Request correction of inaccurate data

Request deletion of your data

Request restriction of processing

Object to certain processing activities

Request data portability where applicable

Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority

To exercise these rights, you may contact us through the contact channels provided on the Website.

External Links

Our Website may contain links to external websites, tools, services, or third-party content not operated by us. While we may review links included on our pages, we do not control the content, structure, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites.

We seek to ensure that links presented on institutional pages, navigation menus, footers, and other important areas of the Website are relevant, properly formatted, and directed to appropriate destinations. However, external websites may change over time, and we cannot guarantee the ongoing accuracy or suitability of third-party content.

Users should review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party websites they visit.

Link Accuracy and Site Navigation

We aim to maintain clear, relevant, and properly structured navigation throughout the Website, including institutional pages, menus, and footer links.

Links should lead users to content that is consistent with the description or expectation created by the link text. Incorrect, misleading, broken, irrelevant, or poorly formatted links may harm user experience and may also affect compliance with platform or search engine quality requirements.

If you identify a broken, misleading, or inappropriate link on our Website, you may contact us so that we can review it.

Refusing Data Requests

You may choose not to provide certain personal information. However, in some cases, this may prevent us from offering certain services, features, or responses properly.

You may also manage certain data collection preferences through your browser settings, device settings, or our consent tools where available.

Acceptance of Privacy Practices

Your continued use of our Website may be regarded as acceptance of this Privacy Policy to the extent permitted by law. Where consent is legally required for specific processing activities, such as the use of non-essential cookies, such processing will depend on the consent choices you make through our CMP or cookie banner.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. When appropriate, we will revise the effective date and publish the updated version on this page.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, our use of cookies, our data practices, or your rights related to personal data, you may contact us through the contact information made available on the Website.

Effective Date

This policy is effective as of April 2025.
