Drudge News Report (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a news-link aggregation website that curates headlines and links to third-party sources. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site.

Short version: We collect limited data to run the Site (e.g., analytics, security, ads). We don’t sell your personal information. You can contact us anytime at info@drudgenewsreport.com.

1) Who we are (Data Controller)

For purposes of applicable data protection laws (including the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, GDPR for EEA/UK visitors, and CCPA/CPRA for California residents), Drudge News Report is the data controller of personal data collected via the Site.

2) What we collect

a) Information you provide

  • Contact details (e.g., email) when you contact us.

  • Content you submit (e.g., comments or forms), if enabled.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: IP address, device/OS/browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, referring URLs.

  • Cookies and similar technologies: to keep the Site secure, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising/affiliates.

c) Information from partners (if used)

  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.).

  • Advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense / Ezoic / Mediavine).

  • Anti-abuse/security tools (e.g., firewalls, bot detection, CDN logs).

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through the Site.

3) How we use your information

We use data to:

  • Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site.

  • Analyze traffic and performance (aggregated, de-identified where possible).

  • Show advertising and measure its effectiveness.

  • Communicate with you if you contact us.

  • Enforce our terms, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4) Cookies & similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and tags for:

  • Essential functions (security, load balancing, preferences).

  • Analytics (page views, time on page).

  • Advertising (frequency capping, fraud prevention, interest-based ads).

You can control cookies via your browser settings or opt-out mechanisms provided by our analytics/advert partners (see “Your choices” below).

5) Ads, affiliates, and third-party links

  • We link out to third-party news sites. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.

  • If we use ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense / Ezoic / Mediavine), they may place cookies and collect data in accordance with their policies.

  • We may include affiliate links; if you click or buy, we may earn a commission without extra cost to you.

6) Sharing your information

We share information only as needed to run the Site:

  • Service providers (hosting/CDN, analytics, ad partners, email tools) under appropriate agreements.

  • Legal compliance (e.g., valid requests from authorities, enforcing our rights).

  • Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition) where data is transferred with appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal information.

7) International transfers

We may process data on servers outside your country. Where required (e.g., GDPR), we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information.

8) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Logs and analytics data are retained for a period that is reasonable for trend analysis and security, then deleted or anonymized.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10) Children’s privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11) Your choices & controls
