At Aevum News, we believe that trust is built through transparency. We maintain a comprehensive log of all changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Policy. This page ensures you can review what has changed, when, and why.
For significant changes, we will notify registered users via email 30 days before the new policy takes effect. For minor updates, changes are reflected immediately upon publication. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Enhanced Cookie Consent Mechanism
We updated our cookie consent banner to provide more granular control over tracking preferences. Users can now customize consent for analytics, advertising, and functional cookies individually. This change aligns with evolving regional privacy regulations.
Introduction of Subscriber Preference Center
A new preference center has been added to user accounts, allowing subscribers to manage notification frequencies, data sharing permissions, and marketing communications. This gives you greater control over how Aevum News interacts with you.
Third-Party Analytics Provider Update
We transitioned from our previous analytics provider to a privacy-first solution. This reduces the amount of personal data processed and eliminates third-party ad trackers from our core infrastructure. Your reading habits are now aggregated and anonymized by default.
Data Retention Policy Clarification
We clarified our data retention timelines in the Privacy Policy. Account data is now retained for 24 months after inactivity before permanent deletion. Payment information is never stored on our servers and is processed exclusively through PCI-compliant third-party providers.
AI-Generated Content Disclosure Policy
Added a new section to our Terms of Service regarding the use of AI tools in editorial workflows. All AI-assisted content is now clearly labeled, and human editors maintain final oversight. This ensures transparency about the role of technology in our journalism.
International Data Transfer Safeguards
Updated clauses regarding cross-border data transfers to include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as required by GDPR. All international data transfers now include enhanced encryption and audit protocols to protect reader information.
