Privacy

Reader accounts

Accounts are for adults aged 18 or older. We ask for an age eligibility declaration before signup; we do not keep your birth date, exact age or identity documents. A short-lived signup record associates the declaration with your email. For an account we retain the eligibility result, time and policy version.

Google verifies your email at signup. Supabase stores your authentication record, Google account identifiers and profile details supplied by Google, such as name, email and profile image. Your Google password is never shared with us. Supabase also stores your account role, reading progress and quiz results so you can use them across devices. Existing family links are retained; new family accounts and invitations are unavailable.

Cookies and browser storage

Essential session cookies keep you signed in. Browser storage remembers your theme and may contain local quiz or progress data. Clearing site data removes those local copies and may sign you out. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Aggregate analytics

Vercel Web Analytics measures visitor and page-view totals without tracking cookies. It uses a temporary hash derived from incoming requests to distinguish visits; visitor-session information is discarded after 24 hours. We do not use advertising profiles or track readers across websites. See Vercel's explanation.

Service providers and retention

Vercel hosts the site, Supabase provides accounts and storage, and Google handles signup authentication. They may process data outside your country and keep operational or security logs under their own retention policies. Account information is kept while needed to provide your account and until you request deletion. Expired signup declarations are removed during signup processing. Provider backups and logs can persist under provider retention schedules.

Account details and reading progress are not inputs to our article or image generation. Weekly digest signup is currently unavailable. If you previously subscribed, contact us to remove that separate subscription record.

Your choices and deletion

You can delete your account and its synced data from your account page. Browser storage on other devices must be cleared on those devices. To request access, correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern, email nextgennews.bharat@gmail.com. We may ask you to verify control of the account before acting on a request.
