Welcome to gnanatelangana.com and our official mobile application (collectively, the “Platform“), owned and operated by SRUJANA PUBLICATIONS (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our mobile application, or interact with our services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a seamless user experience across our website and mobile application. The data we collect falls into the following categories:
- Voluntary Personal Information: Information you explicitly provide to us. This includes your name, email address, or contact details shared when you leave a comment, register an account, subscribe to a newsletter, or contact our support team.
- Automated Device and Usage Data: Information automatically transmitted by your hardware. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, mobile operating system, unique device identifiers (such as Android ID, IDFA, or IMEI), device manufacturer, network state, and tracking logs of the pages or screens you visit.
- Cookies and App Tracking: On our website, we use cookies and web beacons to remember preferences and track sessions. On our mobile app, we utilize secure built-in device tokens and software development kits (SDKs) to achieve similar tracking functionalities.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data to maintain the stability of the Platform and deliver tailored content. Specifically, we use it to:
- Operate, optimize, and maintain both the website and mobile app performance.
- Analyze traffic patterns, user trends, and application crash reports to fix bugs.
- Respond directly to your customer service requests, inquiries, or feedback.
- Serve relevant content, programmatic news feeds, and personalized advertisements.
- Send system alerts, security updates, or transactional notifications.
3. Third-Party Services and Advertisements
We partner with third-party analytics vendors and advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) to display ads and evaluate our audience metrics.
These third-party networks may place cookies on your web browser or access your mobile device’s specialized advertising identifier (e.g., Google Advertising ID). They collect anonymous information regarding your visits to the Platform and other applications across the internet to serve targeted, interest-based advertisements.
- Opt-Out Controls: You can block cookies via your web browser settings. Mobile app users can reset or restrict tracking via their device settings (e.g., “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android or “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS).
4. Mobile Application Permissions
To provide complete functionality, our mobile application may request explicit permissions to access certain features on your device. These may include:
- Network/Wi-Fi State: To check your internet connectivity and load news data safely.
- Storage Access: To temporarily cache article images or allow you to download media.
- Push Notifications: To deliver breaking news alerts directly to your device lock screen.
You can grant, deny, or revoke these permissions at any time by navigating to your device’s system settings (Settings > Apps > Gnana Telangana > Permissions).
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical, physical, and administrative security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Please note that no transmission method over wireless networks or the internet is completely infallible; while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any revisions will be published instantly on this page and within the mobile app’s settings panel with an updated “Effective Date.” We recommend reviewing this page periodically to remain informed about our data protection commitments.
