Privacy policy

Who operates this site

Impano News is operated by Zyntro at news.impano.app. For privacy questions or requests, email info@impano.app.

Information we collect

The information we receive depends on how you use the site. This can include:

• Account details: your name, email address, and a securely hashed password when you register.
• Comments: the text you post, linked to your account and the article you comment on.
• Newsletter details: your email address if you subscribe.
• Poll choices: the option you vote for. A necessary cookie is used to help prevent another vote from the same browser for that poll.
• Location for local weather: Cloudflare may provide an approximate location from your connection. If you choose “Use my location” and grant browser permission, your device provides more precise coordinates.
• Basic technical information: information sent automatically by your browser when it requests pages or images, such as network and device information needed to deliver and protect the service.

How we use information

We use account details to provide sign-in and account features, comments to display reader discussion, and newsletter addresses to manage subscriptions. Poll cookies help remember that a browser has voted. Location is used to request local weather; the site does not save your coordinates in its account records.

If location coordinates are available, they are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve weather information. Open-Meteo handles that request under its own privacy practices.

Cookies and browser storage

We use sign-in cookies to keep your account session working, and a poll cookie to remember a vote in your browser. The poll cookie can remain for up to one year. Dismissing the cookie notice is remembered in your browser's local storage. These are used for site functionality, not behavioral advertising.

You can manage or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Clearing them may sign you out or remove the browser's record of a poll vote.

When information is shared

We share information with providers that help operate the service: Resend processes newsletter subscriptions; Open-Meteo provides requested weather; and Cloudflare helps deliver site content and may provide approximate location information. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices.

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information if needed to protect the service, comply with a legal obligation, or respond to a valid legal request.

How long we keep information

We keep account information while an account is active, comments while they remain published, and newsletter details while you remain subscribed. You can ask us to delete your account or remove your newsletter address by emailing info@impano.app. We may retain information where necessary to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes.

Your choices and requests

You can choose not to provide optional information, decline browser location permission, or clear browser storage. You can also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information associated with you. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

Children's privacy

Impano News is not intended for children who are too young to use online services under the rules that apply where they live. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and address the request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or its services change. We will post the current version here and update its effective date.
