Data Collection & Geo-Routing

The types of data that we may collect while you use the MyCountry.News platform are strictly limited to providing you with localized content. This includes processing your IP address automatically when you use the service.

For purposes of this Privacy Notice, we use Vercel's Edge Network to automatically determine your country code based on your IP address.

Zero Retention Policy

Your IP address is processed in real-time at the edge and is never permanently stored in our databases. We do not maintain logs of your physical location, browsing history, or IP address.

Essential Cookies

We use a single strictly necessary cookie (client_country) to remember your local news preference across sessions. This ensures you don't have to reselect your country every time you visit.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies, cross-site trackers, or advertising profiling cookies on the platform. The platform is designed to function without tracking your behavior across other websites.

Data Security

All traffic between your device and MyCountry.News is encrypted using industry-standard TLS. Database access is strictly governed by Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, ensuring that even internal franchise agencies cannot access data outside their authorized scope.

While we take commercially reasonable measures to secure your data, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
