Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-31

NON-WWW.COM ("we", "us", "our") operates this website as a curated news reader for the acquisition, online marketing, and AI search community. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we process, why, on what legal basis, how long we keep it, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive. It should be read together with our Cookie Policy.

1. Data controller

The data controller for personal data processed via this site is the operator of NON-WWW.COM. For privacy questions, data-subject requests, or to reach our data-protection contact, use the contact page.

2. Data we collect

2.1 Data you provide

  • Account data — email address and (optionally) display name when you sign up.
  • Authentication data — hashed password and session tokens managed by our auth provider, or OAuth identifiers if you sign in with a third-party provider (e.g. Google).
  • Preferences — category priorities, saved articles, thumbnail and theme settings.
  • Contact submissions — name, email, and message content when you write to us via the contact form.

2.2 Data collected automatically

  • Technical data — IP address, user-agent, referrer, requested URL and timestamps. Used for security, abuse prevention, and to deliver the site.
  • Cookies and local storage — see our Cookie Policy for the full list and consent controls.
  • Analytics (only with consent) — aggregated usage data such as pageviews and approximate location at country level.

3. Why we process data and legal basis

  • Provide the service — account creation, sign-in, saving preferences. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • Security and abuse prevention — rate-limiting, fraud detection, server logs. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Respond to contact requests — handling messages you send us. Legal basis: legitimate interests, or pre-contractual steps where applicable.
  • Analytics and advertising — to understand readership and support the publication. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Legal compliance — to comply with obligations such as responding to lawful requests. Legal basis: legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)).

4. Recipients and processors

We use a limited number of vetted service providers ("processors") acting on our instructions under written agreements (Art. 28 GDPR):

  • Hosting and database — to run the site and store account data.
  • Authentication provider — to handle sign-in, sessions, and password resets.
  • Email delivery — for transactional emails such as verification and password resets.
  • Analytics and advertising partners (only with your consent) — to measure readership and serve ads.

Articles in the feed link out to their original publishers; visiting those sites is governed by the third party's own privacy policy.

5. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect personal data: encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), encryption at rest for databases and backups, role-based access control, row-level security on user-scoped tables, hashed credentials, and audit logging. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a personal-data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours and inform affected users where required by Art. 33–34 GDPR.

6. Automated decision-making

We do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Article ranking and category sorting are based on editorial signals and your stated preferences, and have no legal effect.

7. Cookies

We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and, with your consent, analytics and advertising cookies. For details and consent controls, see our Cookie Policy.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Where changes are material we will highlight them on the homepage or notify signed-in users by email.
