Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosures
01 Our Commitment to Transparency
At Aevum News, we believe that trust is the foundation of journalism. Just as we verify every headline we publish, we are equally committed to being transparent about how we handle, protect, and share your personal information. This policy outlines the circumstances under which we share data with third parties, the safeguards we implement, and the controls you have over your information.
02 Categories of Data & Sharing Purposes
We share data only when necessary to deliver our services, improve our platform, or comply with legal obligations. Below is a breakdown of data types and associated third parties:
| Data Category | Shared With | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Usage & Analytics Data | Google Analytics, Privacy-Preserving Analytics Partners | Platform optimization, traffic analysis, and content performance tracking |
| Payment & Subscription Info | Stripe, PayPal, Secure Payment Gateways | Processing subscriptions, refunds, and financial records |
| Communication Data | SendGrid, Customer Support Ticketing Systems | Delivering newsletters, account notifications, and support responses |
| Auth & Account Data | Auth0, Identity Verification Providers | Secure login, two-factor authentication, and account recovery |
| Legal & Compliance Data | Regulatory Authorities, Legal Counsel | Compliance with court orders, fraud prevention, and law enforcement requests |
All third-party partners are bound by strict data processing agreements (DPAs) that prohibit secondary use of your information and mandate industry-standard encryption and access controls.
03 How You Control Your Data
You retain full authority over your personal information. We provide built-in tools to manage your preferences without contacting support:
- Dashboard Controls: Navigate to Account > Privacy Settings to toggle analytics tracking, newsletter preferences, and personalization features.
- Cookie Consent Manager: Click the cookie banner at any time to modify or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking cookies.
- Data Export: Request a complete archive of your data (articles saved, subscription history, profile info) in JSON or CSV format.
- Deletion & Anonymization: Submit a deletion request to permanently remove your account and associated personal data. We retain only anonymized usage metrics for statistical purposes.
04 Security & Transfer Safeguards
When data leaves our secure infrastructure, it is protected through:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transfers use TLS 1.3 or higher.
- Encryption at Rest: Partner systems must employ AES-256 encryption for stored data.
- Access Minimization: Third parties receive only the minimum data required to fulfill their contracted service.
- Regular Audits: We conduct annual security assessments and require partners to maintain SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 certifications.
International transfers comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable data protection frameworks. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where cross-border transfers occur.
