Privacy Policy

Date of last update: 08 July 2026

1. Introduction

The Pulse Geo News project team (hereinafter referred to as the 'Administration' or 'we') respects the privacy of its users. This Policy explains how we process technical and personal data when you use our aggregator (hereinafter referred to as the 'Service').

Despite the project being in its beta phase, we are committed to adhering to the fundamental principles of data protection set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act (UK GDPR).

2. What data is processed

As the Service is currently in the testing phase, we minimise data collection. It is important to understand the difference between public content and your data:

2.1 News, articles and content displayed on the Service are collected from publicly available third-party RSS feeds. This content does not constitute users' personal data and is not governed by this Policy.

2.2 IP address, device type, operating system, browser language settings, and cookies (for session management and basic traffic analytics).

2.3 Browsing history within the Service and your preferences regarding news categories (required for the personalisation algorithm to function).

2.4 Your email address (collected only if you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter or contact technical support).

3. The role of AI and the use of your data

The service uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology as a tool to process news from RSS feeds and improve the user experience:

3.1 The translation and summarisation functions performed by AI are applied exclusively to public texts from RSS feeds, and not to your personal data.

3.2 We do not use your personal data to train third-party AI-based models.

3.3 Your technical data (in particular, IP addresses) may be checked to automatically restrict access to users from sanctioned regions (in order to strictly comply with our Sanctions Policy).

4. Data storage and international data transfers

4.1 Data is processed on cloud servers that provide a high level of data protection.

4.2 As part of our future international expansion, data may be processed outside your country of residence. We guarantee that we do not transfer or store data in jurisdictions of countries or territories subject to international sanctions.

4.3 We never sell, transfer or disclose users' personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.

5. Users' rights (in accordance with the GDPR / UK GDPR)

You have the right to control your data. During the beta testing phase, you may:

5.1 Request the deletion of your data: To do this, simply clear the cookies in your browser or contact us via our contact email address.

5.2 Withdraw your consent to data processing: You may do so at any time simply by ceasing to use the Service.

6. Changes to the policy

As the start-up develops, new features are added, its commercial status changes or a legal entity is registered, this Policy will be updated. We recommend that you check this page regularly for the latest information.

7. Contact details

If you have any questions regarding the operation of AI algorithms, data protection or compliance with sanctions restrictions, you can contact the development team by email at: pulselocalnews@gmail.com

3.3 Disclaimer regarding content: The Administration accepts no responsibility for the content, accuracy or legality of the original articles obtained via RSS feeds. Furthermore, the Administration does not guarantee 100% accuracy, objectivity or correctness of AI-generated summaries and translations.
