Who we are

Signal 24 ("we", "us") is an independent digital news platform available at signal24.info. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, email us at news@signal24.info.

Information we collect

When you read the site

Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site running, secure and fast.

When you subscribe to our newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address. Our newsletter is sent through Beehiiv, which stores your email address on our behalf and may record whether you open our emails or click links in them. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

When you contact us

If you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply and follow up. We do not add you to any mailing list unless you ask us to.

Stored on your device

We store a few small settings in your browser, such as your light or dark theme choice and whether you have already seen our newsletter pop-up. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.

Advertising and cookies

We use or may use Google AdSense to show advertising on Signal 24. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.
• You can learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will be asked for consent before advertising cookies are used, and can change their choice at any time.

We may also use analytics tools to understand which stories people read, so we can improve our coverage. These tools look at overall trends, not at you as an individual.

How we use your information

• To run, secure and improve the website.
• To send the newsletter if you signed up for it.
• To reply to your messages, tips and correction requests.
• To show advertising that helps pay for our journalism.

We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing your information

We only share information with the services we use to run Signal 24, such as our hosting provider, our newsletter provider and advertising partners like Google, and only as needed for them to provide their service. We may also share information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe, and emails for as long as we need them to deal with your request. Technical logs are kept for a limited time by our hosting provider.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, or to object to how we use it. To make a request, email news@signal24.info.

Children

Signal 24 is a general news website and is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Links to other websites

Our stories often link to other websites. We are not responsible for how those websites handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. For important changes, we will make it clear on the site.
