Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Loading…

At Fact Flows, accessible from our website, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains comprehensive details about the types of information that is collected and recorded by Fact Flows and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us. This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they shared and/or collect in Fact Flows.

1. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. Whenever you provide information to us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

Direct Information: If you contact us directly via forms or email, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message, and any other information you choose to provide.
Account & Subscriptions: When you subscribe to our news alerts or create an account, we may ask for contact information, including your name and email address.
Automatic Information: Like many other websites, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, and timestamps.

3. Comments and Media

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, X/Twitter posts, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

Provide, operate, and maintain our website and news platform.
Improve, personalize, and expand our news coverage and site functionality.
Understand and analyze how you use our website via analytics tools.
Communicate with you, either directly or through partners, including for customer service and providing news updates.
Find and prevent fraud, spam, and technical issues.

6. Data Security and Retention

We employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time.

7. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Fact Flows uses ‘cookies’. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & Advertising

Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

We partner with advertising networks (like Google AdSense) to display ads. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Fact Flows, which are sent directly to users’ browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.

Note: Fact Flows has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy.
