This statement sets out the way in which Newsgraphy obtains and uses users’ personal information online.
This statement applies to all information collected or submitted by Newsgraphy on electronic devices, including iOS, Android or other devices and platforms.
Information We Collect
We collect limited personal information necessary for the operation of the website, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
For the sake of convenience, practicality or technical requirements, Newsgraphy occasionally needs to collect information; this includes the web addresses and content you view while browsing the website.
Newsgraphy automatically collects and stores relevant information via electronic devices. For example, we record the name of your internet service provider, your internet protocol (IP) address, and information provided by your web browser. When we adopt other technologies, we may collect similar information by other means.
Purpose of Collection
We collect and process your information for the following purposes:
− to operate and improve the functionality of the Newsgraphy website;
− to understand how visitors use our content, so that we can improve it;
− to respond to enquiries you send us; and
− to comply with legal obligations, where applicable.
Where providing certain information is optional, we will indicate this at the point of collection. Where it is required for a service to function (for example, registration), we will explain why.
How We Use Information
We use the information you provide to operate the website’s features. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own independent purposes, except as described below.
We collect information in a non-identifiable and aggregated form to help us better design Newsgraphy, recommend popular content to users, and share information with advertisers and publishers. For example:
We may tell advertisers or publishers how many people have viewed a particular section of the website. When we use information in this or a similar way, we do not disclose any personally identifiable information. See “Cookies and Analytics” below for details of our use of Google Analytics.
We may disclose your information pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other legal process, or in order to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
Where we consider it necessary, we may disclose your information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to personal safety, or any breach of policy, so as to protect our rights and property.
In future, we may sell, purchase, merge with, or partner with other companies or businesses. In any such transaction, user information would form part of the assets transferred.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
− Essential cookies, required for core website functions such as keeping you logged in;
− Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, including pages viewed, time spent, and general location (at country/city level). Google may process this data in accordance with its own privacy policy;
− Advertising cookies, used by our advertising partners to measure ad performance.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics specifically using Google’s browser add-on. Disabling essential cookies may affect the website’s functionality.
Cross-Border Processing
We do not transfer your personal information outside Malaysia ourselves. However, some of our third-party service providers, including Google Analytics, may process data on servers located outside Malaysia as part of their standard operations. These providers are bound by their own privacy and data protection commitments.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia), you have the right to:
− request access to the personal information we hold about you;
− request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
− withdraw any consent you have given for the processing of your information; and
− limit the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
