Last updated: July 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GeoDefense News ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
GeoDefense News collects only the minimum information needed to operate the publication. This includes: (a) your email address, if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter; (b) standard analytics data such as pages visited, referrer, device type, and approximate location (city/region), collected automatically when you visit the site; and (c) any information you choose to include when you contact us through our tip line or contact form. We do not request or store sensitive personal data such as government IDs or financial details.
How We Use Your Information
Your email address is used solely to deliver our newsletter and occasional editorial announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Analytics data is used to understand which content readers find useful and to improve the site. Information submitted through the contact form is used to review tips, corrections, and inquiries, and to respond where appropriate.
Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy practices: (a) Google Analytics, to measure site traffic and engagement; (b) Google AdSense or similar advertising networks, to serve ads — these providers may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your visits to this and other sites; and (c) an email service provider, to send our newsletter. We do not sell your personal information to any third party.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies for analytics and, where applicable, to support advertising functionality. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site, but you will still be able to read our articles.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

Data Retention
We retain newsletter subscriber email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed, and remove them promptly after you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to the applicable provider's default retention settings. Contact-form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping.
Children's Privacy
GeoDefense News is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
