Last Updated: August 26, 2026. This policy outlines how Namma Bengaluru collects, uses, and protects information when you browse our clutter-free news platform.
1. Information We Collect
Namma Bengaluru is designed to be a lightweight, privacy-conscious news service. We collect minimal data required to deliver real-time news headlines and maintain fast server performance:
- Technical Device Information: Anonymized IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and screen dimensions to render responsive layouts.
- Reading Preferences: News category filter choices (e.g. Traffic, Metro, Civic) stored locally in your browser session.
- Cookies & Storage: Standard session cookies and local storage tokens for remembering cookie consent preferences.
2. Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosure
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements across our website to support our independent news operations.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by opting out via www.aboutads.info.
3. India DPDP Act 2023 & International Rights
In compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 of India and global standards (GDPR), you hold full rights over your data:
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can reset or clear your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie banner.
- Right to Data Erasure: Because we do not require account registration or store personal profiles, clearing your browser cookies completely removes any local preferences.
4. Original Publisher Attribution & Links
Namma Bengaluru aggregates news updates with original attribution. Clicking an external news story link will direct you to the respective publisher's domain (e.g. Google News, The Hindu, or WordPress backend). We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
