Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 1, 2025
Last updated: October 1, 2025
We built this service to lower anxiety—not raise new concerns about your data. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how you can control it.
Summary (the short version)
- •We collect only what we need to run the service. Today, that's just your email address if you subscribe.
- •We do not sell your data.
- •We do not run ads and do not share data with advertisers.
- •We may use limited third-party services (e.g., email delivery, analytics). Those providers may collect additional technical data—see "Third Parties" below.
- •You can unsubscribe, access, or delete your data anytime: support@headlinescope.com
What We Collect
Account/Subscription
Email address (required for sending the digest).
Basic Logs
Date/time of signup or email delivery, and whether an email bounced.
Analytics
We may use analytics to understand the number of visitors and how they use our site, including non-identifying metrics like page views, referrers, and device type.
We do not collect sensitive personal information. If you think this happened, contact us and we'll delete it.
How We Use Data
- •Send you the news digest and service emails (e.g., confirmations).
- •Keep the service reliable and secure (fraud/abuse prevention, debugging).
- •Improve the product (aggregate analytics).
Legal Bases (for users in the EEA/UK)
- •Consent for subscribing and optional analytics.
- •Legitimate interests for security, service reliability, and preventing abuse.
You can withdraw consent at any time (unsubscribe or email us).
Cookies & Tracking
- •We try to avoid cookies. If analytics or certain features require them, we'll say so clearly.
- •You can block cookies in your browser. The site will still work, minus those features.
- •We honor "Do Not Track" where feasible.
Third Parties
We use limited third-party services for email delivery and website analytics. These services have their own privacy policies. We choose providers that respect user privacy and minimize data collection.
Data Retention
- •Email addresses: Kept while your subscription is active.
- •Logs/analytics: Kept for the shortest practical period (typically ≤ 3 months) unless needed to investigate abuse or comply with law.
When you unsubscribe or ask us to delete, we remove your email from our active systems and backups within a reasonable window.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or object to processing. We respect these rights globally.
Email us at support@headlinescope.com and we'll help.
For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Security
We use industry-standard protections (TLS in transit, restricted access, least-privilege practices). No method is perfect, but we work to prevent unauthorized access and will notify you of material incidents as required by law.
Third-Party Links
If we link to other sites, their privacy practices apply there. Review their policies.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes, we'll update this page and adjust the "Effective date." If changes affect your rights materially, we'll notify you by email.
