Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

The short version: NUZU News collects no personal data. No account, no login, no tracking cookies. Your preferences live only in your own browser and never leave your device.

Data We Collect

None. NUZU News does not require any account, login, or registration. We do not set tracking cookies, run analytics scripts, or embed third-party tracking pixels on our pages.

Local Storage (on your device)

NUZU uses your browser's localStorage to remember a few personal preferences directly on your device:

Saved / bookmarked articles
Dark or light mode preference
Font size setting
Which sections you've collapsed
Your reading-interest order (from the first-launch picker)

This information is stored only on your device. It is never transmitted to NUZU, to any server, or to any third party. Clearing your browser data removes it entirely.

Cookie Policy

NUZU News does not set any cookies of its own — not for analytics, not for advertising, not for "essential" purposes. We use localStorage (described above) to remember your preferences, but localStorage is not a cookie: it stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

The only cookies that can appear while you use NUZU come from third-party embeds you choose to interact with (for example, clicking play on an embedded YouTube video player, which is covered in the Embedded Media section). You can block third-party cookies in your browser settings without breaking any NUZU functionality.

Third-Party Links

Every headline on NUZU links directly to its original publisher. Once you click through, you are on that publisher's site and subject to their privacy policy — not ours. We do not control their tracking, their cookies, or their advertising.

Embedded Media

Our homepage can embed live news video players from YouTube. When a YouTube player loads, YouTube may set its own cookies according to Google's privacy policy. If you'd prefer to avoid this, you can close the video panel or browse with third-party cookies blocked.

Source Favicon Images

Small publisher icons shown next to story clusters are self-hosted on this site (at /icons/sources/). They are fetched once during our hourly build from the publisher's public favicon and cached locally, so your browser does not make any third-party requests when those icons load. A small number of high-resolution logos (e.g. the BBC) are sourced from the publicly-available Wikimedia Commons during that same build step.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We have no personal information to sell. NUZU News does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about its readers. We have no database of users, no advertising partners, no data brokers, and no revenue stream that depends on selling or sharing information about you.

Because there is nothing to sell or share, the opt-out rights created by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws don't have anything to act on. That said, if you have a specific concern, write to us and we'll answer it: NUZU-NEWS@protonmail.com.

California Notice of Collection

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), operators of online services must disclose the categories of personal information they collect and the purpose of that collection.

For NUZU News, that disclosure is:

Categories of personal information collected: None.
Categories of sources: Not applicable.
Business or commercial purposes: Not applicable.
Categories of third parties with whom information is shared: None.
Sale or sharing of personal information: None. See Do Not Sell above.

California residents may contact us with any CCPA/CPRA-related question at NUZU-NEWS@protonmail.com.

EU/EEA and UK Regulatory Notice

If you are accessing NUZU from the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following applies under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR:

Controller: NUZU News, reachable at NUZU-NEWS@protonmail.com.
Personal data processed: None. We do not collect, store, or process any information that identifies you or is linked to you.
Legal basis for processing: Not applicable, because no processing of personal data takes place.
Your rights: Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing to access, correct, port, restrict, object to, delete, or withdraw consent for. If you would like written confirmation of this for your own records, email us and we will provide it.
Data transfers outside the EU/EEA: None initiated by us. Note that our site is hosted on GitHub Pages, and clicking an outbound link may transfer you to a publisher hosted outside your region under that publisher's own terms.
Right to lodge a complaint: EU/EEA residents may complain to their national data-protection authority; UK residents may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Children

NUZU News is a general news service not directed at children under 13. Because we collect no personal data, we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone of any age.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update the date at the top and post the revision on this page. Because we collect no data, we cannot notify you individually.
