Effective date: August 6, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Studio One News handles information when you use studioonenews.com.
Information we collect
Technical data: Our hosting, security and analytics services may process IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages viewed and approximate location. Information you provide: We receive the name, email address, subject and message you enter in the contact form, along with comments or story material you voluntarily submit. Cookies and local storage: The website may remember display preferences, reaction choices, security checks and analytics information.
How we use information
We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to messages, review corrections and story tips, moderate comments, understand site performance, prevent abuse, maintain audience preferences and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
Comments and public submissions
Information placed in a public comment can be read by other visitors. WordPress may process an IP address and browser user-agent string to help detect spam. Please do not submit sensitive personal information in a public field.
Embedded content and YouTube
Our Videos and Shorts pages use privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds. Before or when you play a video, YouTube or Google may receive device, network and interaction information under their own privacy terms. External social, video and advertising services may set cookies or similar technologies when you interact with them.
Analytics, advertising and service providers
We may use hosting, caching, security, analytics, email delivery, spam prevention and advertising providers that process limited information to perform services for us. Advertising may use contextual or, where permitted and consented to, interest-based signals. Providers must handle information under their own legal and contractual responsibilities.
Retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, newsroom records, dispute resolution, security or legal requirements. We use proportionate technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You can block or delete cookies in your browser, avoid playing third-party embeds and request access, correction or deletion of personal information where applicable. Some records may be retained when required for journalism, security, legal claims or law. Send a privacy request through the Contact page and identify the email address connected with the request.
Children
The website is intended for a general news audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information can contact us for review.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our services or requirements change. The effective date will be revised. Privacy questions can be submitted through the Contact page.
