Effective Date: August 2, 2025
At Encounter Newspaper (https://www.encounternewspaper.com), we are committed to ethical journalism not only in the stories we tell but also in how we treat your data. Our core principle is privacy by default — we believe that reading the news should not come at the cost of your personal information.
1. We Respect Your Privacy — Fully
We do not collect, store, or share any personal information from visitors to our website. We do not track you, identify you, or use any technologies that monitor your behavior across the internet.
2. No Cookies, No Trackers, No Hidden Scripts
Unlike most websites, Encounter Newspaper does not use cookies, analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), or tracking pixels.
Your reading experience is entirely anonymous. We believe news should be free from surveillance — even invisible ones.
3. No Account? No Problem
We do not require registration, login, or subscriptions to access our content. We don’t ask for your name, email, phone number, or any other personal data to read our news.
4. When You Contact Us
If you voluntarily reach out to us via email (e.g., at encounter.editor@gmail.com), your email and message will be used only for the purpose of responding to your query.
- We do not add you to mailing lists,
- We do not sell or share your message,
- And we do not retain your message unless it’s part of an ongoing conversation you initiated.
5. Embedded & Third-Party Links
Our articles may contain links to official government sources, court judgments, or external news items.
We do not control these third-party websites, and we cannot guarantee their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies individually.
6. Zero Ad Tracking
We currently do not display third-party ads or serve programmatic advertising that tracks users. If advertising is introduced in the future, it will follow strict privacy-first guidelines, with no behavioral tracking involved.
7. No Data = No Risk
Since we do not store any user data, there’s no risk of data breaches, leaks, or misuse from our side. Your identity and activity remain entirely yours.
8. For Young Readers
Encounter Newspaper is designed for a general audience and is not specifically targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from minors.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy if we introduce features like user comments, newsletters, or analytics. If that happens, we will update this page and provide clear notice.
You will always have a right to know and control what data (if any) is collected.

Encounter Newspaper is built on the values of transparency, integrity, and public trust — and that includes how we treat your privacy.
We believe news should empower you, not track you.
