People’s Choice News — Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

People’s Choice News (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website.

1. Information We Collect

Because this is a demonstration website, we do not operate a backend server or user account system. We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or location unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact or submission form. Those forms are simulated and do not transmit data to a live server.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember your vote preferences and cookie consent choice. This helps the voting mechanism work across visits. No personal identifiers are stored. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

3. How We Use Information

Any locally stored information is used solely to enhance your experience on the site — for example, to display your previous votes and to remember whether you have accepted or declined cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

This site loads images from Unsplash and fonts from Google Fonts. These services may log your IP address and browser information under their own privacy policies. We do not share data with advertisers or analytics providers.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to keep the site secure. However, because votes are stored locally in your browser, their integrity depends on your device. We do not process or store votes on a server.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
