Introduction
Digital Pakistan Network (“DPNN”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates digitalpakistannewsnetwork.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few ways:
- Information you provide directly, such as when you leave a comment, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us by email.
- Information collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, gathered through standard server logs and cookies.
- Information from third-party embeds, such as YouTube, when you choose to play an embedded video.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to inquiries and comments, send newsletter updates to subscribers who opt in, detect and prevent spam and abuse, and understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content and design.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies for essential functionality, to remember your preferences (such as your language selection), and — where you consent — for analytics and to support features like web push notifications. For details on the specific cookies we use and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.
Embedded Video Content
DPNN is a video-led news site. Video embeds on our pages use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (“no-cookie”) mode and do not load or contact YouTube’s servers until you actively click to play a video. Once you play a video, your interaction with that embedded player is governed by YouTube’s own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the information you submit in the comment form along with your IP address and browser user-agent string, to help identify and prevent spam. Comments are reviewed through our comment and anti-spam systems before or after publication.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site (for example, hosting, spam filtering, and notification services), and where required to comply with law or protect our legal rights.
Data Retention
We retain the information described in this policy only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the ability to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information we hold about you. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in every email. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general news audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
