Privacy Policy

Service: Salem News mobile application and related websites.

Website: https://www.salemnews.in

Last updated: 21 June 2026

This policy summarizes how we handle information. Align what you declare in Google Play (App content → Privacy policy and Data safety) with the same practices described here.

Who we are

The publisher operates Salem News (“we”, “us”). For privacy-specific requests, use our Contact page (contact details are listed there only).

Information we may collect

• Account data: If you register or sign in (e.g. email, display name), we store profile details needed to provide the account.
• Technical & usage data: Device identifiers, app version, language, coarse diagnostics (e.g. crashes), and interaction patterns to run and secure the service.
• Notifications: Push tokens or equivalents if you enable notifications.
• Advertising & analytics (if enabled in your build): Data handled by SDKs such as Google Mobile Ads / Firebase / similar partners, according to their policies and your integration.

How we use information

• Deliver news content, personalization you choose, and app features.
• Operate notifications you opt into.
• Maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse.
• Analyze aggregate usage to improve performance and UX.
• Meet legal obligations where applicable.

Legal bases (where GDPR / similar applies)

We rely on consent (notifications, optional analytics/ads where required), contract (providing your account features), legitimate interests (security, aggregated analytics), and legal obligation.

Retention

We retain data only as long as needed for these purposes unless a longer period is required by law. Aggregated analytics may be kept without identifying you.

Sharing

We share data with service providers who help host, deliver, analyse, or monetise the app (including cloud/hosting and push/analytics/ad partners where used). We do not sell your personal information as traditionally defined in applicable laws.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13 (or applicable age where you operate). Do not supply child data unless permitted by guardian and law.

Your choices & rights

• Disable notifications in device or app settings.
• Manage ad personalisation via device/Google settings where applicable.
• Request access, correction, deletion, or restriction via the options on our Contact page, from your registered address where email is required.
• Account deletion: see our Account deletion page.

International transfers

Infrastructure providers may process data in multiple countries. Where required we use approved safeguards.

Updates

We may update this policy. Material changes should be reflected in the “Last updated” date above and, where practical, communicated in-app or on-site.
