At Ignite News (accessible from https://ignitenews.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of personal information collected and recorded by Ignite News and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at info@ignitenews.com.

1. Who We Are

Ignite News Inc. is a news and media organization based in Guyana, delivering unbiased, accurate, and real-time news. Our website address is https://ignitenews.com.

2. Information We Collect and Why We Collect It

A. Media and News Submissions

If you upload images or submit media/news stories to the website (such as through our "Submit News" page), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

B. Contact Forms & Newsletter Subscription

When you subscribe to our newsletter or submit an inquiry using our contact forms:

We collect your email address, name, and any message content you provide.
This information is used to send you newsletters, reply to inquiries, or deliver updates. You can opt-out of newsletter communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email we send.

C. Cookies

Login & Session Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

3. Third-Party Services & How Your Data is Shared

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. However, we use trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our website and administer activities on our behalf:

Analytics: We use analytics tools, including Jetpack Stats and Google Site Kit (Google Analytics), to monitor website traffic, visitor demographics, and user behavior. These tools collect information sent by your browser, including cookies and your IP address.
Advertising Partners: We use advertising display systems (such as AdRotate) to serve ads. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements that appear on Ignite News, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content you see.

Note: Ignite News has no access to or control over cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

4. Data Retention

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Newsletter subscription details are retained until you request deletion or unsubscribe.

5. Your Data Rights

If you have an account on this site or have subscribed to our newsletter, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

6. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

Ignite News does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Ignite News has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the top of this page. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
