Privacy Policy

At Kural24 ([https://kural24.com](https://kural24.com)), safeguarding the privacy of our readers is a critical priority. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, how we safeguard it, and your rights regarding your personal data under standard digital publishing frameworks.

Information We Collect

We collect two distinct categories of data to operate efficiently and optimize your reading experience:

  • Non-Personal Identification Information: When you browse Kural24, our server logs and analytics tools automatically record technical details. This includes your browser type, device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop), operating system, IP address, geographical location (city/region level), and the specific pages you visit on our website. This data is collected strictly in an anonymous and aggregated manner.
  • Personal Identification Information: We only collect identifiable personal information—such as your name, email address, or phone number—when you voluntarily submit it to us. This occurs when you subscribe to our newsletters, submit a query through our contact form, send us a news tip, or leave comments on published articles.

How We Use Your Information

The information collected on Kural24 is utilized exclusively for operational and editorial enhancements:

  • To maintain, secure, and optimize website performance and loading speeds.
  • To analyze reader preferences and improve content delivery based on popular topics.
  • To respond to your direct inquiries, feedback, corrections, or customer service requests.
  • To distribute scheduled newsletters or breaking news alerts, provided you have explicitly opted in (every email includes an immediate option to unsubscribe).
  • To detect, prevent, and mitigate security threats, spam, or unauthorized access to our digital infrastructure.

Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Compliance

To sustain our free journalism, Kural24 partners with third-party advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense, to display advertisements when you access our platform.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use automated cookies to serve advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to Kural24 or other destinations across the internet.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its certified partners to serve personalized or non-personalized ads to our users based on their browsing history.
  • Readers have absolute control over their advertising preferences. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings at [https://www.google.com/settings/ads](https://www.google.com/settings/ads). Additionally, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at [https://www.aboutads.info/](https://www.aboutads.info/).

Data Security & Third-Party Sharing

Kural24 strictly adheres to a no-sale policy; we do not sell, trade, rent, or exploit your personal identification information to commercial third parties. We employ standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, firewalls, and routine administrative reviews to ensure that any voluntarily submitted personal data is protected against loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration.
