Effective Date: August 11, 2026
Gujarat.news (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is an independent digital publication operated by AIForge LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you interact with our website, subscribe to our newsletters, or use our digital services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to deliver noise-free analysis and manage your subscription preferences. We collect data in two ways:
a. Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Email Address: Collected when you subscribe to our newsletters, alerts, or premium membership tiers.
- Name & Correspondence: Collected if you submit inquiries via contact forms or communicate directly with our editorial desk.
b. Automated Technical Data (Usage Data)
To monitor site performance, mitigate server strain, and optimize our publishing infrastructure, we collect limited, non-identifying technical information including:
- Device types and browser configurations.
- Referring pages and exit pathways.
- Aggregate site traffic activity (e.g., page views and average session durations).
2. Third-Party Service Providers
We do not operate internal data centers. We partner with secure, reputable third-party service providers to power our intelligent publishing platform. Your data may be processed and stored by:
- Ghost: Our content management and core subscriber database framework.
- Analytics Providers (e.g., Umami): Used for privacy-first, cookie-less site traffic analysis.
- Email Delivery Infrastructures: Trusted transactional networks used to distribute our Daily Briefings and news alerts safely to your inbox.
All data handled by these infrastructure partners is governed strictly by their respective corporate privacy policies.
3. Email Communications & Opt-Out
Your email is used solely to deliver the editorial insights you requested. We do not rent, sell, or distribute your personal email address to bulk marketing companies or third-party advertisers. You maintain complete control over your subscription data and can opt out or permanently unsubscribe at any moment by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link located at the bottom of any email we send.
4. International Data Transfers & Cross-Border Contexts
Because Gujarat.news serves a global diaspora community, information collected through this website may be transferred to, stored in, and processed across servers located outside your home country (including the United States). By interacting with our platform, you acknowledge and consent to these standard international data transfers.
5. Security Guardrails
We implement practical administrative, operational, and technical security safeguards to keep your subscriber information secure. Access to our publishing backend is strictly limited. While no internet-based data transmission or storage protocol can ever be guaranteed as 100% secure, we continuously update our platform layers to significantly mitigate systemic vulnerabilities.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our content is tailored toward adults, investors, and business professionals. Gujarat.news does not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
7. External Ecosystem Links
Our editorial content heavily emphasizes ecosystem transparency, meaning our articles frequently contain links back to original news sources, institutional bank portals (e.g., HSBC), and regulatory registries. We maintain zero control over external domains and are not responsible for the privacy policies or tracking systems used by third-party websites.
8. Updates to This Policy
We review our operational processes periodically. Any structural changes to our data collection rules will be updated directly on this page, reflected by a revision of the "Effective Date" posted above.
9. Contact Us
