Our Commitment to Transparency
At Aevum News, we believe that trustworthy journalism begins with responsible data practices. We do not sell, lease, or trade your personal information. Every piece of data we handle is collected with a clear purpose, processed securely, and retained only as long as necessary to serve you and maintain the integrity of our platform.
This page outlines our data usage principles in plain language. We reject dark patterns, opaque tracking, and invasive profiling. Your privacy is not a trade-off for better content—it is a prerequisite.
What We Collect
We only gather information that directly enhances your reading experience, ensures platform security, or fulfills legal obligations. We categorize collected data as follows:
Account Information
Email address, chosen username, subscription tier, and payment details (processed securely by PCI-compliant providers). Never stored in plain text.
Usage Analytics
Pages viewed, time spent, click paths, and content engagement. Aggregated and anonymized to improve editorial strategy and site performance.
Device & Browser Data
IP address (truncated for privacy), browser type, OS, screen resolution, and timezone. Used for security, compatibility, and regional content delivery.
Cookies & Local Storage
Essential cookies for authentication, preference cookies for readability/theme settings, and optional analytics cookies. Full control available in settings.
onHow We Use Your Data
Every data point serves a specific, documented function. We never repurpose information without explicit consent or a direct legal requirement.

Authentication, subscription management, personalized dashboard setup, and secure comment posting.
Content Optimization
Analyzing reading patterns to identify underserved topics, improve load times, and adapt layout for accessibility.
