This Privacy Policy explains how Express Today Media Private Limited ("we", "us", "our"), the publisher of www.expresstoday.co.in (the "Site"), collects, uses and protects information when you visit our Site. It also explains the advertising, cookie and third-party services used on the Site, as required by Google publisher and advertising policies. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

Express Today Media Private Limited is a Telugu news publisher based in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. Our registered publishing address is D.No. # 5, 2nd Floor, KSR Complex, 48 Bus Stop Jn., Dondaparthi, Visakhapatnam – 530 016, Andhra Pradesh. You can reach us at info@expresstoday.co.in.

Information We Collect

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, your browser or device may send us, or the third-party services described below, technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the website that referred you. This is used to deliver pages, understand how the Site is used, keep it secure, and show advertising.

Information you give us. If you contact us (for example, by email or phone) we collect the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address and message, and use them only to respond to you, to verify news tips, or to handle a complaint or correction request. We do not require you to register or create an account to read the Site.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Local storage and similar technologies work in the same way. We and our partners use them to remember your settings, to measure traffic, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to deliver and measure advertising. On this Site they are used, for example, to remember your display choice (light or dark mode), your language choice, and to temporarily keep market, weather and counter data so that pages load faster.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some features of the Site (such as saved display preferences) may not work, and you may still see ads, which will not be personalised.

Advertising and Third-Party Vendors, Including Google

We use Google AdSense and other Google advertising services to show ads on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this Site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google may use cookies such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie, and similar identifiers, to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. These ad providers may use information about your visits to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) to show ads about goods and services that may interest you.

Your choices. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or, for the EU, at www.youronlinechoices.com. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google's advertising technologies.

Advertisements on the Site are labelled and are separate from our news content. Some advertisements are placed directly by local businesses and are not served by Google.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Google requires publishers to obtain consent before personal data is used for personalised advertising for visitors in these regions. Where a consent message is shown, you can accept, decline or change your choice at any time. Where you do not consent, ads are limited to non-personalised ads. You can also control advertising through the links in the section above.

Other Third-Party Services Used on the Site

To provide the Site we use services from other companies. When your browser loads these, the provider may receive your IP address and browser details, and each is governed by its own privacy policy:

• Google Fonts – to display text in the correct fonts.
• Google Translate widget – an optional tool that translates the page when you choose English; it may set its own cookie.
• YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram – when you follow links to our pages or view embedded content.
• Visitor counter – a third-party counter service that records anonymous visit counts shown in the footer; it does not receive your name or contact details.
• Market, currency, commodity and weather data providers – the market strip, watchlist and weather widgets fetch figures from third-party data providers.

How We Use Information

• to publish and deliver the Site and keep it secure and working;
• to understand readership and improve our content and services;
• to show advertising and measure how it performs;
• to respond to your messages, corrections, complaints and copyright or trademark notices;
• to comply with legal obligations.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers described above who help us run the Site and show ads, with authorities where the law requires, or to protect our rights, our users and the public. Some of these providers, such as Google, may process data outside India.

Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information that you send us only for as long as needed to deal with your request or as the law requires. Cookie and advertising data held by Google and other providers is kept under their own policies. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 of India, you may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct or delete it, or to stop using it, and you may withdraw any consent you have given. Write to us at info@expresstoday.co.in. We will reply within a reasonable time. We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals; please use the opt-out tools above instead.

Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to other websites. Once you leave our Site we have no control over those websites and are not responsible for their content, privacy or security. Those sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is intended for a general news readership and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 18 where the law of your country sets a higher age for consent). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not use their data for personalised ads. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
