Last updated: July 13, 2026. This policy explains how TellingPointy handles information when you visit the website, contact the newsroom, or interact with site features.
Information collected automatically
Web servers, security services, analytics tools, and content-delivery systems may process IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, referring page, requested URLs, timestamps, cookie identifiers, and security signals. This information is used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, understand aggregate usage, and improve performance.
Information you provide
If you contact us, we process the information you submit, such as your name, email address, message, attachments, and any details needed to respond. Do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and you understand the risks of electronic communication.
Analytics, advertising, and service providers
TellingPointy may use services supplied by WordPress.com/Jetpack, Pressable, Cloudflare, Google, and other infrastructure or measurement providers. If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user visit to this site or other sites. Google advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalize advertising where consent and law permit.
Users may manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. Additional industry opt-out information is available through YourAdChoices.
Legal bases and consent
Depending on location and context, processing may rely on consent, legitimate interests in operating and securing the publication, performance of a requested service, or legal obligation. Where required, readers are given a consent choice before non-essential storage or personalized advertising is used.
Retention and disclosure
Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal compliance, security, dispute handling, and backup integrity. Data may be processed by contracted service providers and disclosed when required by law, necessary to protect rights or safety, or part of a legitimate business transfer.
Your choices
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information. You may also withdraw consent for future processing. Requests can be made through the contact page and may require identity verification.
International processing and children
Service providers may process information in countries with different data-protection rules. TellingPointy is a general-audience news publication and is not directed to children under 13.
Contact and changes
Privacy questions may be sent to [email protected]. We may update this policy as services, law, or publication practices change; the revision date will be changed when we do.
