This Privacy Policy explains how Lens Today ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and handles your personal information when you visit our website and use our automated news aggregation services.
1. The Nature of Our Service
We operate an automated news aggregator that indexes and displays content from third-party online publishers. Due to the nature of our automated web scraping and content delivery, we may process user data differently than a traditional publisher.
2. Information We Collect
We collect data to improve the platform, ensure security, and understand how users interact with our curated feeds.
- Automatically Collected Data: When you visit our site, our servers automatically record information, including your IP address, browser type, device details, referring URLs, and the pages you view on our site.
- Voluntarily Provided Data: If you sign up for a newsletter, contact us, or create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and analyze traffic.
- Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the site.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to track how visitors navigate our aggregated news feeds (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Your Choices: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of our Service may not function properly without them.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for various purposes, including:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our automated aggregation systems.
- To analyze user engagement to better curate news categories.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity.
- To communicate with you regarding updates, support, or inquiries.
5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
Our primary function is providing links to external news articles. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party websites. When you click a headline and leave our site, we encourage you to read the privacy statements of every external publisher you visit.
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification with our business partners and trusted affiliates. We may also disclose information:
- To comply with a legal obligation or respond to a lawful request.
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of our platform, our users, or the public.
- To third-party service providers (like web hosts or analytics tools) who assist us in operating our website, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
8. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You can request copies of your personal data.
- Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate information.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we delete your personal data under certain conditions.
- Right to Object/Opt-Out: You can object to data processing or opt out of having your data sold (though we do not currently sell data).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our automated processes or legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
