Our Security Framework
๐ก๏ธ Zero-Trust Architecture
Every request is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted. We assume no implicit trust, even inside our network perimeter.
๐ End-to-End Encryption
Data in transit uses TLS 1.3. Data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. Source materials are stored in isolated, access-controlled vaults.
๐ Continuous Auditing
Automated security scans, third-party penetration testing, and real-time threat intelligence monitoring keep our infrastructure resilient.
Data Collection & Minimization
We collect only what is necessary to deliver news content, maintain account functionality, and comply with legal obligations. All data collection is explicit, documented, and user-controllable.
- Account Data: Email, display name, and password (hashed with bcrypt)
- Usage Analytics: Anonymized reading patterns for content optimization (no cross-site tracking)
- Payment Information: Processed exclusively by PCI-DSS Level 1 certified providers; we never store full card details
- Source Communications: Encrypted via Signal Protocol standards; metadata stripped upon archival
