This Privacy Policy explains how todaybulletinlive ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide: When you leave a comment or submit a contact form, we collect your name and email address.
  • Newsletter subscriptions: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and optionally your name.
  • Automatically collected: We collect standard server log data including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used solely for analytics and security purposes.

How We Use Your Information

  • To display your name alongside approved comments
  • To send newsletters if you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • To respond to contact form submissions
  • To analyse website traffic and improve our content
  • To prevent spam and abuse

Cookies

We use only essential cookies required for site functionality, including a session cookie for form security (CSRF protection). We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

If you enable dark mode, your preference is stored in your browser's local storage — this data never leaves your device.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics: We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google Fonts & Font Awesome: These services load fonts and icons from external CDNs, which may log your IP address.

Data Retention

Comments and contact messages are retained until manually deleted by our administrators. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Server logs are automatically purged after 30 days.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe from our newsletter)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@todaybulletinlive.com.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords, CSRF protection, and prepared SQL statements to prevent injection attacks. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
