Introduction

News and Jews ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website and services.

Information We Collect

Authentication Data

When you sign in using Google Authentication, Google provides us with your account identifier. We store only a cryptographically hashed (anonymized) version of this identifier to recognize you when you return. We do not store your email address, name, or profile photo from Google.

Subscription Information

If you choose to support our nonprofit mission through a donation tier, we store your subscription level (Free, Supporter, Champion, etc.) associated with your anonymized identifier. Payment processing is handled by third-party processors (such as Stripe) who maintain their own privacy policies.

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages visited and time spent
• General geographic location (country/region level)
• Device type and browser information
• Referral sources

This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember:

• Whether you've acknowledged our Terms of Use
• Your display preferences

This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your Google email address or profile name
• Your browsing history outside our site
• Content you analyze using our tools (processed but not stored)
• Personal identifying information beyond anonymized authentication

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Recognize returning users
• Manage subscription tiers
• Improve our services through analytics
• Ensure site security

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties except:

• Service Providers: Payment processors (Stripe) and authentication (Google) necessary to operate our services
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights
• Analytics: Aggregated, non-identifying data via Google Analytics

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your information. Since we store only anonymized identifiers, even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your personal identity would not be compromised.

Your Rights

Access and Deletion: You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at contact@newsandjews.com. Since we only store anonymized identifiers, deleting your account removes all data associated with you.

EU Users (GDPR): You have rights to access, correct, delete, and port your data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

California Users (CCPA): You have the right to know what data we collect, request deletion, and opt out of data sales (we do not sell data).

Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregated usage data. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on our site.
