1. Introduction

World News Today ("we", "us", "our") operates the website and related services that provide aggregated global news discovery, ranked summaries, and daily briefings. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about what we collect and why.

This policy is written to be consistent with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). If you are located elsewhere, additional or different laws may also apply.

2. What We Collect

  • Account and contact details — your email address when you subscribe or create an account.

  • Usage data — pages visited, features used, time spent, and interactions with our product, collected to improve the service.
  • Device and browser information — browser type, operating system, IP address, and general location (country or city level), used for security and analytics.
  • Communications — emails you send us, including support requests.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as government identification numbers, financial account credentials, health data, or biometric information.

We will not use your information for purposes materially different from those listed above without your consent.

4. News Sources, Summaries, and AI Processing

World News Today aggregates, organises, ranks, and summarises information based on publicly available news reporting and other source materials. We do not claim ownership over any third-party news content. All original source rights remain with their respective owners and publishers.

Summaries, rankings, categorisations, and editorial presentation may be generated algorithmically, including through AI-assisted processing. These summaries are for general information purposes only.

We recommend that users refer to the original linked sources for full context and verification. Content on this service does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or professional advice of any kind. We make no warranty that summaries are complete, accurate, or current.

Users are responsible for how they interpret and act on information obtained through this service.

5. Sharing with Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers to operate the service. These may include:

  • Hosting and infrastructure — to serve the website and store data
  • Email delivery — to send your daily briefing and account emails
  • Payment processing — to handle subscriptions and billing securely
  • Authentication — to verify and manage account access
  • Analytics — to understand how the service is used (in aggregate, not individually identified)

Service providers are required to handle your data in accordance with our instructions and applicable privacy laws. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide the service, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our agreements.

If you cancel your account and request deletion, we will remove your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it by law.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. You use the service at your own risk, and we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your account credentials private.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you by email or in-product message for significant changes. Continued use of the service after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
