Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how NewsBite and Tech News Terminal currently handle information when you browse the site, sign in, subscribe to newsletters, use AI chat, or open article pages. It is based on the product behavior that is live in this frontend today.

The platform primarily displays public-source technology news and AI-generated summaries, signals, and analysis derived from that source material. We do not claim ownership over third-party news articles; those remain subject to the rights and terms of their original publishers.

If you create or use an account, we may receive basic account information such as your email address and display name. If you complete the profile flow, the frontend can also submit your name, date of birth, category interests, and how you heard about the product.

If you subscribe to NewsBite newsletters, we collect the email address you provide, your newsletter frequency and topic preferences, and the NewsBite content sections you choose to receive. If you contact us through the site contact flow, your email client opens a prefilled message and the content you send is handled by your email provider and our mailbox.

If you use AI chat, your prompts are sent to the NewsBite backend and associated with a chat session so prior messages can be restored and follow-up responses can be generated.

The frontend uses analytics and standard web request metadata to understand usage and performance. Depending on your device and browser, this can include page visits, referrers, browser information, and similar diagnostic or analytics events.

When you open certain article detail pages, the frontend forwards relevant request context to upstream services, including user agent information and forwarded IP chain headers where available. Those requests may also return an anonymous session cookie used by upstream article-view tracking.

The site stores some information in your browser, including chat session IDs, whether the chat widget is open, cached article NewsBite data, and a latest-news timestamp used for the interface. This local browser storage stays on your device unless you clear it.

We use account, profile, and preference information to authenticate users, personalize parts of the experience, support user-specific features such as newsfeeds, and manage newsletter delivery and settings.

We use chat messages and session history to operate the AI chat experience, return relevant answers about news on the platform, and maintain continuity between visits when a local session ID is available in your browser.

We use analytics, view tracking, and operational logs to understand product usage, troubleshoot failures, improve the service, and evaluate which news, summaries, and analysis features are useful.

NewsBite surfaces AI-generated summaries, signals, insights, and other analysis based on publicly available source material gathered by the broader platform. These outputs are informational and may be incomplete, stale, or incorrect.

You should not rely on NewsBite content as financial, legal, investment, compliance, or professional advice. Always verify important facts against the original source articles and your own judgment before acting.

The frontend depends on third-party providers and infrastructure that process data to deliver the service, including authentication services, analytics services, and backend services that power news retrieval, chat, article tracking, and newsletter management.

We may also share information when required to comply with law, enforce our terms, protect the platform, or investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents.

Different data types may be retained for different operational periods by the frontend, upstream APIs, and supporting services. The frontend itself mainly keeps temporary local browser state until it is replaced or cleared.

You can control some data directly by signing out, clearing browser storage, disabling cookies in your browser, or using newsletter management links included in newsletter emails. If you need help with account or data questions, contact us at [email protected].
