Privacy Policy

Information you provide voluntarily: If you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or participate in surveys, we collect the details you submit — such as your name and email address. We never sell this information.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our site, standard server logs and analytics tools collect technical data including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages and approximate geographic region, anonymized where possible.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site secure, remember preferences, measure traffic and support advertising. Cookies fall into these categories:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to function (for example, security and load-balancing).
• Preference cookies — remember settings such as language or display options.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how readers use the site so we can improve it.
• Advertising cookies — delivered by our advertising partners (see Section 3).

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect parts of the site’s functionality.

We display advertising on our website through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads. You may opt out of personalized advertising:

• Google Ads Settings
• AboutAds.info (NAI opt-out)
• YourOnlineChoices (EU opt-out)

We do not control the cookies used by third-party advertisers, and our Privacy Policy does not cover their practices. Please review their privacy policies directly.

• Deliver and improve our news content and website experience.
• Send newsletters and updates you have requested (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• Respond to messages and inquiries.
• Measure audience size and reading patterns to improve our journalism.
• Support the operation of advertising, including interest-based advertising where enabled.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data only with:

• Service providers who help operate the website (hosting, analytics, email delivery) under confidentiality obligations.
• Advertising partners such as Google AdSense, as described in Section 3.
• Authorities, where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes in this policy or as required by law. We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards — including HTTPS encryption and restricted access — to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California), you may have the right to:

• Access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you.
• Restrict or object to certain processing, including personalized advertising.
• Data portability.
• Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in Section 10. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Sharafi News is a general-interest financial publication and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Our articles and pages may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated on this page.
