Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

This policy explains how personal information is handled in connection with mc24.news (“MC24 News”, “we”, “us” or “our”). It covers this website and communications sent to us about it. Questions and privacy requests may be sent to info@mc24.news.

1. Information you provide

When you email us, send a news tip, request a correction, or use an available contact or comment feature, we receive the details you provide. These may include your name, email address, other contact details, message, attachments and information needed to respond.

If an optional newsletter or registration feature is offered, the information requested will be identified at that point. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless necessary for your request.

2. Technical information

Website hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, access times, referring page and error logs. This information can be used to deliver pages, investigate faults and protect against abuse. An IP address or online identifier can constitute personal information.

3. Why information is used

  • To deliver the website and respond to enquiries.
  • To assess news submissions, correction requests and complaints.
  • To operate features you choose to use.
  • To maintain security, detect misuse and resolve technical problems.
  • To meet applicable legal obligations and handle legal claims.
  • To send optional updates where you have requested them or another lawful basis permits them.

Where consent is required, it will be requested separately. Reading the website does not by itself constitute consent to every form of personal information processing.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Where used, essential cookies support functions such as security, sessions and remembering your choices. Optional analytics or advertising technologies may measure readership or support advertising if those services are enabled.

Where required, optional technologies should only operate after you give consent. You can use available cookie controls and your browser settings to manage or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect some functions.

External videos, social media content or advertisements, if embedded, may allow their providers to receive technical information or store identifiers. Their own privacy policies explain that processing.

5. Disclosure and service providers

Information may be accessible to authorised personnel and providers supporting website hosting, security, email delivery and other enabled services, to the extent needed for those purposes. Information may also be disclosed when legally required or necessary to address unlawful activity, protect rights or respond to a valid legal process.

Comments and material you expressly submit for public publication may be visible to other readers. Avoid including private contact details in public submissions. Confidential news tips should be clearly marked, and any confidentiality arrangements should be agreed with the editorial team rather than assumed.

6. Storage, retention and security

Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably needed for its purpose, including dealing with enquiries, keeping necessary editorial records, maintaining security and meeting legal requirements. Retention periods can differ between correspondence, server logs and published material.

Internet transmission and electronic storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure. Please contact us if you believe personal information has been exposed or misused. Do not send passwords or payment credentials by email.

7. Your choices and requests

You may contact us to ask about personal information relating to you, request correction or deletion, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or raise a privacy complaint. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law and the nature of the records involved. Removal of personal information from internal records does not automatically require removal of lawful journalism.

We may need proportionate verification before acting on a request. Please describe the request and identify the relevant page or communication. If you receive optional email updates, use the unsubscribe option provided or email us to request that they stop.

8. Children’s information

The website is intended for a general news audience. Children should not submit personal details without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. Where processing a child’s information requires parental consent or additional safeguards, those requirements apply. A parent or guardian may contact us about information submitted by a child.

9. External websites and international processing

This policy does not govern websites you visit through external links. Review their policies before sharing information. Depending on the location of the services used, information may be processed outside your country. Any required safeguards for such processing must be applied under applicable law.

10. Policy updates

Changes will be posted here with an updated date. Where a new purpose requires additional notice or consent, updating this page alone does not replace those requirements.
