Our website may publish sponsored articles, branded content, promotional materials, and affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link or purchase a product or service through one of these links, we may receive a commission.
Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners may receive information about advertisement interactions or referrals. We do not normally provide them with information that directly identifies you unless you have consented or another lawful basis applies.

We may also share aggregated, statistical, or anonymised information that does not reasonably identify an individual.
Service providers may only receive the information reasonably necessary to perform their assigned services.
9. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
TheDailyNationalNews.com does not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the word “sell.”
However, certain privacy laws may define the terms “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include some uses of advertising cookies, identifiers, or targeted advertising technologies.
Where applicable, users may have the right to opt out of:
- The sale of personal information;
- The sharing of personal information;
- Targeted advertising; or
- Cross-context behavioural advertising.
When legally required, we will provide an appropriate opt-out mechanism, such as a privacy-preferences link or a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option. California privacy law, for example, provides qualifying consumers with rights relating to access, deletion, correction, opting out, and non-discrimination.
10. News Tips and Confidential Sources
Users may submit news tips, documents, photographs, recordings, videos, or other materials for editorial consideration.
Ordinary email, contact forms, and standard website communications may not provide complete confidentiality or security.
You should not submit highly sensitive, classified, privileged, or confidential source information through ordinary communication channels unless suitable security arrangements have been made.
Submitting information does not automatically create:
- A confidential-source relationship;
- An employment relationship;
- A contractual relationship;
- An attorney-client relationship; or
- A guarantee of publication.
We may review and verify submitted information before deciding whether to investigate or publish it.
11. Comments and Public Submissions
If TheDailyNationalNews.com permits comments or other public submissions, the information you publish may be visible to other users and search engines.
You should not publicly disclose information that you wish to keep private.
We may review, edit, restrict, or remove comments and submissions that violate our Terms and Conditions, editorial policies, or applicable laws.
We are not responsible for how third parties use information that a user voluntarily publishes in a public area of the website.
12. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites, applications, products, or services.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, accuracy, or availability of independent third-party websites.
Visiting an external link is subject to the privacy policy and terms of the relevant third party.
We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
13. Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content such as:
- YouTube videos;
- Social media posts;
- Maps;
- Podcasts;
- Images;
- Interactive graphics; and
- Third-party advertisements.
Embedded content may operate as though you visited the third-party website directly.
The third-party provider may collect data, use cookies, track interactions, or associate your activity with an account held on its platform.
Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies.
14. Social Media
We may maintain profiles on social media platforms such as Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
When you interact with us through a social media platform, both TheDailyNationalNews.com and the platform may receive information about your interaction.
The platform’s processing of your information is governed by its own privacy policy and settings.
15. Email Communications
We may send newsletters, breaking-news alerts, promotional messages, or other communications when you request or consent to receive them.
You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails by:
- Selecting the unsubscribe link included in the message; or
- Contacting us directly.
After unsubscribing, we may still send necessary administrative, security, legal, or service-related messages.
16. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Fulfil the purpose for which it was collected;
- Respond to enquiries or complaints;
- Maintain editorial and business records;
- Complete contractual obligations;
- Prevent fraud and misuse;
- Resolve disputes;
- Enforce agreements; and
- Meet legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations.
The appropriate retention period may depend on the type of information, the reason it was collected, legal requirements, and security considerations.
We may retain anonymised or aggregated information for a longer period because it does not directly identify an individual.
17. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information from:
- Unauthorised access;
- Accidental loss;
- Misuse;
- Alteration;
- Disclosure; and
- Destruction.
However, no website, database, communication system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users provide information through the internet at their own risk and are responsible for maintaining the security of their own devices and accounts.
18. International Data Transfers
TheDailyNationalNews.com may be accessed internationally and may use service providers located in different countries.
As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside the country in which you live.
Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws of your jurisdiction. Where legally required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
19. Children’s Privacy
TheDailyNationalNews.com is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children below the minimum legal age required to provide consent in their jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate permission from a parent or legal guardian.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us. We will review the matter and take appropriate action, which may include deleting the information.
20. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your country, state, or region, you may have the right to:
- Be informed about how your information is processed;
- Request access to your personal information;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your information;
- Restrict certain processing;
- Object to certain uses of your information;
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- Request a portable copy of certain information;
- Opt out of certain advertising, selling, or sharing activities;
- Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information;
- Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request; and
- Complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.
The GDPR, where applicable, recognises rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability.
These rights may be subject to legal limitations, exemptions, or identity-verification requirements.
To exercise a privacy right, contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. Please explain your request clearly and provide enough information for us to identify any relevant records.
We may request additional information to verify your identity before completing a request.
21. Non-Discrimination
Where applicable law provides this protection, we will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for exercising a privacy right.
This means we will not deny a legally available service, charge an unlawful different price, or provide a lower quality of service solely because a person submitted a valid privacy request.
22. Global Privacy Control and Browser Signals
Some browsers and extensions allow users to send privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control signals.
Our response to these signals will depend on applicable law and the technologies supported by our website.
Where legally required, we will recognise supported opt-out preference signals. California authorities describe Global Privacy Control as a mechanism that can communicate a request to stop the sale or sharing of personal information.
23. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in:
- Our website or services;
- The technologies we use;
- Our business or editorial practices;
- Applicable laws and regulations; or
- Our privacy and security procedures.
When changes are made, the revised policy will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
Where required, we may provide additional notice of material changes through the website, email, or another appropriate method.
We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
