1. What This Site Is

StatusWire is a news aggregation site: it links to and summarizes publicly available articles from third-party news sources. It does not require an account, login, or any personal information to use.

2. Information We Collect

We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information to browse this site. The limited data described below is collected automatically:

  • Standard server/hosting logs (e.g. IP address, browser type, pages visited) collected by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and performance.
  • Aggregate, privacy-friendly page-view analytics via Vercel Analytics, which does not use cookies to track individuals across sites.
  • Your topic preferences, stored only in your browser's localStorage — never sent to our servers.
  • If advertising is enabled, cookies and device identifiers set by Google and its advertising partners (see Section 3).

3. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

StatusWire uses Google AdSense to display advertising and Vercel Analytics for aggregate traffic insights. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.

You can also disable cookies entirely through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended without them.

4. Third-Party Vendors

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. For more detail, see Google's Advertising Policy.

5. What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not require accounts, passwords, or payment information.
  • We do not collect immigration case details, government ID numbers, or other sensitive personal data.

6. Children's Privacy

StatusWire is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Continued use of this site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
