This Privacy Policy explains how ThugStream ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit thugstream.com/ (the "Site").
1. Information we collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide directly — for example, if you email the newsroom or sign up to a newsletter, we collect your email address and any information you include in your message.
- Information collected automatically — like most websites, our server and analytics tools automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs and timestamps.
- Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for full details.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to: operate and improve the Site; understand how readers use our content; respond to enquiries and correction requests; maintain the security of the Site; and, where you have opted in, send newsletters or editorial updates.
3. Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK visitors)
Where applicable data protection law requires it, we process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a news website, your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies or newsletter sign-ups), or to comply with a legal obligation.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting, analytics and email delivery providers), each of whom is only permitted to use the data to provide services to us. We may also disclose information where required by law.
5. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at desk@thugstream.com.
7. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. International transfers
Information we collect may be processed and stored in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps intended to ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection law.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
