Last updated: 20 May 2026

Scope

This Policy applies to visitors, readers, newsletter subscribers, tip submitters, advertisers, contributors and authorised CMS users of NewsLive24. It should be read with our Terms and Conditions, Editorial Policy and Correction Policy.

Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect name, email address, phone number, organisation, message content, article links, correction requests, advertising enquiries, login credentials for authorised users, IP address, device information, browser type, approximate location derived from IP, cookies, usage logs and security records.

If you voluntarily submit documents, photographs, videos or other material, the submitted material may contain personal data. You should not submit personal data of another person unless you have a lawful basis or public-interest justification for doing so.

How we use information

We use information to operate the website, publish and improve journalism, respond to communications, review tips and corrections, protect accounts, prevent abuse, measure readership, manage advertisements, comply with law, preserve audit records and maintain site security.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

The website may use cookies, local storage, analytics tools, ad tags and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, detect misuse and serve or measure advertisements. Third-party advertising or analytics providers may process information under their own policies where their services are enabled.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

Location and weather

The weather card may request browser location permission to display local weather. If permission is not granted, the website may show a city-level forecast. Precise browser location, where used, is requested in the browser and is used only to fetch weather data for that session or saved locally in the browser for a limited period.

Editorial systems

Newsroom support systems are operated from the backend and are intended for internal editorial workflows such as summaries, categorisation, headline suggestions and search optimisation. Editors are instructed not to place unnecessary private personal data into automated prompts or third-party systems. System-assisted output is reviewed before publication.

Disclosure of information

We may share information with hosting providers, email providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, security tools, payment or business service providers, professional advisers, regulators, courts, law-enforcement agencies or government authorities where necessary for lawful purposes, compliance, safety, investigation or protection of rights.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including editorial records, legal compliance, security, audit logs, dispute resolution and business requirements. Certain technical logs may be retained for security and investigation purposes.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including restricted access, secure sessions, password hashing, server hardening, backups and audit practices. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.

Your requests

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent or grievance redressal concerning personal data that you have provided. Send requests to privacy@newslive24.in with sufficient details to verify the request.

Children

The website is intended for a general news audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly seek personal data from children except where lawful, necessary and appropriately protected for journalistic or public-interest purposes.

Readers may access the website from outside India. By using the website, you understand that information may be processed in India or in locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable law and safeguards.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, business practice or newsroom operations. The updated date will identify the latest version.
