Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Nesika is a Canadian news service dedicated to delivering accurate journalism on national and world news, money, technology, and the arts. We operate without user accounts, comment sections, or newsletters. This means we do not collect personal information like your name or email address. Our privacy practices are straightforward and respect your right to read the news without intrusive tracking. This policy outlines the minimal data we handle and your rights regarding it.
Data We Collect and Why
When you visit Nesika, our web server and security provider Cloudflare automatically log certain technical data. This includes your device's IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. We retain these logs for a limited period solely for security purposes, such as identifying and preventing malicious attacks on our site. This data is essential for the secure operation of our website and is not used to profile or analyze individual reader behaviour.
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies. These are technical cookies that help our website function properly, for example by remembering your preference for viewing our site in dark mode. We do not use any advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies for marketing purposes. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality.
How We Handle Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade any data collected from our readers. The limited technical data from server logs is used exclusively for maintaining website security and integrity. Access to this data is restricted to our technical staff and trusted service providers bound by confidentiality agreements. We do not combine this data with information from other sources or use it to identify individuals.
Your Legal Rights
Depending on your location, you have rights under privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe or the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act in Canada. These may include the right to access any personal data we hold, the right to request its correction or deletion, and the right to object to its processing. As we do not collect identifiable personal data beyond temporary technical logs, any such requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis according to the applicable law.
Policy Updates and Contact Information
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our operations or legal requirements. The updated policy will always be posted on this page with a new effective date. For any questions about this policy or to exercise your privacy rights, you can contact our editor. The newsroom team at Nesika includes Jordan Whitehorse, Editor, Sarah McLean, Reporter, and Tanya Okemaw, Reporter. We are committed to transparency in both our journalism and our business practices.
