4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small digital files that a website may store in a user's browser. These technologies can help support website functionality, manage preferences, improve security, and analyze website usage.
If cookies or similar technologies are used on Khabarvoice.com, their use will depend on the nature and purpose of the relevant technical service.
Our website is connected to Google Analytics or other analytics services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies, depending on their configuration, to collect information about website traffic and user interactions.
Users can manage or disable cookies through their browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect certain website features or functionality.
Where analytics, traffic measurement, advertising analysis, or other tracking tools are used, the information collected will be handled according to the actual functionality of those tools and the applicable privacy policies and legal requirements.
5. Advertising and Commercial Services
Khabarvoice may publish commercial advertisements, sponsored content, and other promotional materials on its website.
Information received from advertisers or business partners, including names, contact details, organizational information, advertising materials, and necessary payment details, may be used for advertising management, billing, accounting records, and the delivery of commercial services.
At present, Khabarvoice's advertising system does not collect readers' personal information or cookies through the advertising system itself. This statement does not necessarily apply to separate third-party services or analytics tools connected to the website.
Readers' personal information is not ordinarily required to publish advertisements. If sharing such information becomes necessary for a specific service, valid consent or another lawful basis will be required, as applicable.
If a third-party advertising system is introduced or used on the website, that system may collect technical information in accordance with its own technology and policies. The relevant service provider's privacy policy may also apply.
6. Sharing Information with Third Parties
Khabarvoice does not sell users' personal information or disclose it to others without authorization.
However, information may be shared within necessary limits in the following circumstances:
a. When valid consent has been obtained from the relevant individual.
b. When information must be shared with authorized service providers for website operation, technical maintenance, security, communication, or other necessary services.
c. When a valid order or request is received from a court or an authority legally empowered to require such information.
d. When sharing is necessary to comply with applicable law or to protect an individual's rights and safety.
e. When information must be transferred as part of a lawful business or organizational restructuring.
When sharing information, Khabarvoice will seek to limit disclosure to what is reasonably necessary and, where possible, maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.
7. News Sources and Journalistic Privacy
During news gathering and publication, Khabarvoice considers the reliability of information, the public interest, professional journalistic standards, and individuals' privacy rights.
Reasonable precautions will be taken to protect the identities of news sources, informants, and individuals who provide sensitive information. Decisions about revealing a source's identity or publishing sensitive details will take into account applicable law, professional journalistic standards, and the public interest.
When reporting involves private life, personal documents, property, health, family matters, or other sensitive subjects, Khabarvoice will consider the applicable legal basis, consent where required, and the public-interest justification for publication.
Content will not be published with the intention of unnecessarily intruding into an individual's private life, humiliating that person, or unlawfully exposing private information.
However, where reporting concerns public office, public responsibilities, matters of public interest, or information that may lawfully be disclosed, Khabarvoice will observe applicable legal requirements and professional journalistic standards.
8. Reader Comments, Complaints, and News Tips
Comments, complaints, suggestions, and news materials submitted through our website or other official communication channels may be used to review, edit, respond to, and manage the relevant submissions.
Personal information submitted with a news tip or complaint will be handled securely as reasonably necessary. Private contact details will not be made public without the individual's consent or another valid legal basis.
The use and publication of submitted news reports, photographs, videos, or other materials will depend on the nature of the material, the consent obtained, applicable law, and our editorial policies.
Submitting a news tip does not automatically mean that the sender has consented to the public disclosure of every detail included in the submission.
9. Personal Information Security
Khabarvoice will seek to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure of personal information under its control.
Depending on operational requirements, these measures may include access controls, password protection, restricting access to authorized personnel, technical updates, and security-log management.
However, the internet, email, digital devices, and electronic storage systems cannot be guaranteed to be completely risk-free. Therefore, absolute security of personal information cannot be guaranteed.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
Personal information may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or for the period required by applicable law.
Once the relevant purpose has been fulfilled and no legal or legitimate recordkeeping obligation remains, appropriate steps may be taken to delete, destroy, or anonymize the information where reasonably possible.
News archives, published content, business and accounting records, and information required as legal evidence may be retained for the period necessary under applicable law.
11. User Rights
Subject to the rights and limitations established by applicable law, individuals may request information about their personal data, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, and request deletion or restriction of the use of their information where legally permitted.
Upon receiving such a request, Khabarvoice will review it based on its nature, the identity of the requester, and the applicable legal requirements.
Requests to correct or delete personal information may require separate consideration where they affect historical news records, the public interest, or legal obligations.
In some circumstances, information may need to be retained because the law requires it or because there is another valid reason for maintaining the relevant records.
12. Children and Sensitive Information
Khabarvoice will exercise particular care when handling personal information, photographs, videos, or other material that could identify children.
Such information will be used and published with due consideration for the child's best interests, safety, dignity, and applicable legal requirements.
When collecting or using information concerning health, family circumstances, identity, property, or other sensitive matters, appropriate legal grounds, consent where required, and privacy protections will be considered.
13. External Websites and Social Media
Khabarvoice.com may contain links to or embedded content from other websites, social media platforms, video platforms, or external digital services.
Once users access these external services, the relevant providers' privacy policies, cookie practices, and terms of use may apply. Khabarvoice may not have direct control over the information collection or use practices of external websites.
Readers are encouraged to review the privacy policies of external services before using them.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Khabarvoice may revise or update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website technology, services, business requirements, or applicable laws.
