Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026  ·  Effective immediately

This Privacy Policy describes how Howarig Traders ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit news.howarigtrade.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, referring URL, browser type, device type, and IP address, collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools.
• Account data — if you sign in, we collect your email address via Firebase Authentication.
• Submitted content — if you submit news tips or contact us, we receive the information you provide (name, email, message).
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 3 below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Deliver and improve the Site and its content
• Authenticate users and manage accounts
• Analyse traffic and understand how readers engage with our content
• Display relevant advertising through third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense)
• Respond to enquiries or news submissions
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Cookies

The Site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar tracking technologies. We use:

• Essential cookies — required for authentication and basic Site functionality.
• Analytics cookies — to understand aggregate visitor behaviour (e.g. Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies — placed by Google AdSense and its partners to show personalised or contextual advertisements. These may track your browsing across websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads; it will make them less relevant to you. For more information on how Google uses data from advertising cookies, visit policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Firebase and Third-Party Services

The Site uses Firebase (Google LLC) for authentication and content storage. Firebase may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and usage data in accordance with Firebase's Privacy Policy.

We may also use other third-party services (such as Google Fonts) that may collect limited data. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With service providers who help us operate the Site (Firebase, Google, hosting providers), bound by confidentiality agreements.
• If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Howarig Traders or the public.
• In connection with a business transfer or merger, in which case your data would remain subject to this Policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain usage data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy. Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 9).

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no transmission or storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Links to Other Sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
