Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 4, 2026
VanadiumNews ("we," "us," or "our") operates vanadiumnews.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
Account information (Google Sign-In)
When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture, as provided by your Google account. We use this only to create and manage your account on the Site — we do not access your Gmail, Google Drive, or any other Google service data.
Information you provide directly
If you contact us, subscribe to a newsletter, or comment on an article, we collect the information you submit (e.g. name, email address, message content).
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URLs. This is typically gathered through cookies or similar tracking technologies (e.g. for basic analytics or security via Cloudflare).
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain your account and sign-in access
- Operate, personalize, and improve the Site
- Respond to inquiries or support requests
- Send newsletters or updates, if you've opted in
- Monitor traffic patterns and protect against abuse, spam, or security threats
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Sharing of Information
We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g. hosting, email delivery, analytics, security/CDN providers such as Cloudflare)
- Google, solely as part of the Sign-In authentication process
- Legal authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public
We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Site is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly without them.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your information
- Withdraw consent for processing, where applicable
- Object to certain uses of your information
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
