Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Nepal 360 News (“Nepal 360,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal information when you visit our website, create an account, comment, save stories, subscribe to newsletters, submit a form, or otherwise use our services.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, username, password in encrypted form, profile details, comments, reactions, saved stories, newsletter subscription, contact messages, correction requests, and other material you submit.

Information collected automatically

Our systems may receive your IP address, browser and device details, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, session identifiers, cookie information, and diagnostic or security logs. We use this information to operate, secure, measure, and improve the service.

Information from sign-in providers

If you use a third-party sign-in option, we receive the account details that provider makes available with your permission, which may include your name, email address, profile image, and provider account identifier.

How we use information

We use information to provide accounts and reader features; publish and moderate comments; deliver newsletters and account messages; respond to questions, privacy requests, and corrections; prevent fraud, spam, and abuse; maintain security; measure performance; troubleshoot errors; improve accessibility and usability; comply with law; and protect our readers, staff, and rights.

Cookies and similar technology

We use cookies and local storage where needed for sign-in, session security, preferences, saved state, and basic site operation. We may also use limited measurement tools to understand site performance. Blocking this storage may prevent sign-in or other features from working correctly.

When we share information

We may share information with providers that host the website, deliver email, store files, monitor reliability, prevent abuse, or provide authentication. They may process information only to deliver services to us. We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect safety or rights, or as part of an organizational transfer. We do not sell personal information.

Public information

Comments, display names, profile images, and material submitted to public areas can be viewed and copied by others. Do not post private or sensitive information in a public comment.

Newsletters and communications

When you subscribe, we use your email address to send the requested newsletter. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. Account security, verification, password-reset, or service messages may still be sent when needed to operate your account.

Retention

We keep information as long as needed to provide the service, maintain legitimate editorial and security records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We may retain de-identified or aggregated information that no longer identifies you.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including access controls, encrypted password storage, validation, logging, and secure connections. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Use a strong, unique password and contact us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, export, restrict, object to processing of, or delete personal information. You can update many account details directly, unsubscribe through an email link, and manage browser storage in your browser. We may verify your identity and may retain information where law or legitimate editorial, security, or recordkeeping needs require it.

Children

Our general news service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information without appropriate authorization. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information.

International processing

Providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Those locations may have different laws. We take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards appropriate to the information involved.

External links and changes

External websites are governed by their own policies. We may update this policy as our services, providers, or obligations change. We will change the date above and provide additional notice when required.
