Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Zolana News (“we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect when you visit https://zolana.news, how we use it, and what choices you have.

Information we collect

Messages you send us. If you email us through the Contact page, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to respond to you.

Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address, and website you enter, plus your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. An anonymized string made from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture. If you have one, it becomes visible next to your approved comment.

Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting and security systems automatically record technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this to keep the site running and to protect it from abuse.

Cookies

We use cookies that are necessary for the site to work and stay secure. If you comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in a cookie for one year so you don’t have to retype them. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work.

Embedded content and outside links

Articles may include embedded videos, images, or links to other websites. Those sites may collect data about you, set their own cookies, and track your interaction with their content, as if you had visited them directly. We don’t control their practices, so please review their privacy policies.

How we use information

We use the information above to respond to messages, moderate comments, prevent spam and abuse, keep the site secure, and improve what we publish.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help run the site, such as hosting, security, and spam-filtering services, and we may disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep information

We keep messages for as long as needed to respond and follow up. Comments and their details stay on the site until removed. Technical logs are kept by our hosting provider under its own retention practices.

Your rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, including removal of your comments. Email us at the address below and we’ll respond as soon as we reasonably can.

Children

This site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, but no website or transmission method is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
