Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
This policy explains what information While You Were Out ("we", "us") collects on whileyouwereoutnews.com and how we use it.
Information we collect
- Email address: only if you sign up for our email briefing. We use it only to send the briefing and related updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by emailing us.
- Messages you send us: if you email us, we keep the message so we can respond.
- Basic technical data: our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited to deliver and secure the site and to produce aggregate traffic statistics.
Cookies and advertising
We may show ads from third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Where required by law, we'll ask for your consent before using such cookies.
Embedded content
Briefing pages may include videos hosted by us or embedded from YouTube. Embedded content may collect data as described in that platform's privacy policy.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and email briefing (for example, hosting and email delivery), or when required by law.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your information by emailing [email protected]. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights, and we will honor them.
Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
