At Clear Post, we are committed to transparency, accuracy, and the protection of your digital personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our mobile application, or subscribe to our newsletters.

1. Data We Collect
We only collect data that is necessary for providing you with high-quality news and a personalized experience.

Voluntary Data: Name, email address, and phone number (provided when you sign up for newsletters, create an account, or comment on articles).
Automatic Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and browsing behavior (articles read, time spent on pages) collected via cookies and Edge AI analytics.
Sensitive Data: We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., biometric, health, or financial data) unless explicitly required for a specific service (like a premium subscription).
2. Purpose of Data Processing
Under the DPDPA 2023, we act as a “Data Fiduciary.” We process your data for the following “Lawful Purposes”:

Content Personalization: Suggesting articles based on your interests.
Communication: Sending daily news alerts and administrative updates.
Service Improvement: Using Edge AI to analyze site performance and reader engagement without sending raw data to the cloud.
Legal Compliance: Preventing fraud and complying with Indian cyber-security mandates.
3. Consent & Your Rights
Your consent is the foundation of our data processing. You are the “Data Principal” and hold the following rights:

Right to Access: You can request a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Correction/Erasure: You may update inaccurate data or request that we delete your data when it is no longer needed for its original purpose.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You can opt-out of newsletters or data tracking at any time through your Account Settings. Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent.
Right to Nominate: You may nominate another person to exercise these rights in the event of your death or incapacity.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use a 2026-standard “Consent Manager” to handle your preferences.

Essential Cookies: Required for site security and login.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which news stories are trending.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our site automatically detects and honors GPC signals from your browser, treating them as a valid request to opt-out of “sale/sharing” of data.
5. Data Security & Storage
Protection: We use industry-standard encryption (AES-256) and Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC) for sensitive transmissions to ensure your data is protected against future threats.
Retention: We retain personal data for one year after a user becomes inactive, as required by the 2025 DPDP Rules for national security audit purposes, after which it is erased.
Localization: In accordance with Indian law, all primary personal data of Indian residents is stored on servers located within the territory of India.
6. Children’s Privacy
Clear Post does not knowingly process the personal data of children under the age of 18 without verifiable parental consent. If we discover such data has been collected, it will be immediately deleted.
