Privacy Policy
KpopNews.World (“we,” “our,” “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
Usage & Device Data
We collect non-identifying information automatically when you access the site, such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies for analytics (site performance and audience insights) and essential preferences. If advertising is enabled in the future, we may also use them to deliver and measure ads (personalized where allowed by law and your consent). See “Cookies” and “User Choices” below.
Voluntary Submissions
If you contact us (e.g., email), we process the information you provide (e.g., name and email address) to respond. We do not operate user accounts or accept payments on this site.
How We Use Information
- If advertising is enabled in the future, to serve and measure advertising (personalized where allowed by law and your consent).
- To analyze site performance and improve user experience and content.
- To maintain site security and comply with applicable laws.
Advertising and Partners (Current Status)
We are applying to advertising programs (e.g., Google AdSense). As of now, ad delivery is disabled site‑wide and we do not have any active advertising partners. If/when advertising is enabled, we will update this section with partner details and links.
For reference, information about Google advertising partners is available here: Google advertising partners.
EU/UK Visitors
When advertising is enabled, we will use Google Consent Mode and, where applicable, the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) to honor your choices for advertising and analytics. At present, ad delivery is disabled; any consent controls may be unavailable or have no effect.
US State Privacy Choices
US residents may exercise rights under applicable state privacy laws, including opting out of: (i) sale or sharing of personal information, (ii) targeted advertising, and (iii) certain uses of sensitive personal information. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required. At this time, we do not sell or share personal information on this site and we do not serve targeted advertising; ad delivery is disabled.
These links open the AdSense consent interface for US state privacy management. We will also process GPC signals as an opt-out where applicable. Currently, ads are disabled; these controls may have no effect on your experience.
User Choices & Controls
- Manage Privacy Preferences: Open consent dialog (EU/UK and other regions where available).
- Browser Controls: You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may impact site functionality.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): Where required, we treat a valid GPC signal as an opt-out for sale/sharing/targeted advertising.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and perform analytics. If advertising is enabled in the future, we may use them to deliver/measure ads. You can adjust your choices via the consent dialog (when available) or your browser settings. For more details on categories and lifetimes, see our Cookie Policy.
Data Retention
We retain non-identifiable analytics data for up to 26 months (or a shorter period where configured) and then delete or aggregate it. Advertising data is retained according to our partners’ policies and applicable law.
Children
Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. California residents aged 13–15 must provide an opt-in before any sale or sharing of personal information.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.
