5. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

A. Cookie consent management (Complianz)

We use Complianz on WordPress to present a cookie banner and enable you to manage cookie preferences where required by law. You can adjust your choices at any time via the Site’s cookie settings (typically accessible from the banner, footer link, or widget).

B. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary: essential for Site operation and security.
Functional: remember preferences and improve usability.

Advertising/targeting: measure ad effectiveness, limit frequency, and (where permitted) personalize advertising.

6. How we disclose information

We may share information with:

Service providers
Vendors that help us run the Site and Services (hosting, CDN, analytics, security, email delivery, ad tech, measurement). They process data under contractual obligations.

Advertising/analytics partners
Partners that help us deliver, measure, and optimize ads and analytics.

Legal and safety
If required by law, subpoena, or similar request; or to protect rights, safety, and security, and prevent fraud/abuse.

Business transfers
In a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to applicable safeguards.

7. International data transfers and hosting

We are incorporated in Singapore. Our infrastructure and service providers may be located in the United States and other countries. You indicated the Site’s servers are physically located in the United States (East Coast). Information may therefore be processed outside your country of residence.

Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers (such as contractual clauses).

If you are a California resident, you may have rights such as:

to know/access the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected;
to delete personal information (with exceptions);
to correct inaccurate personal information;
to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (which may include certain forms of cross-context behavioral advertising);
to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

How to exercise rights: email info@bitbullnews.com with the subject line “California Privacy Request”. We will take reasonable steps to verify your request (for example, by confirming control of an email address).

Do Not Sell or Share: If our use of advertising cookies/identifiers constitutes “sale” or “sharing” under California law, you can opt out by adjusting cookie settings (where available) and/or contacting us at info@bitbullnews.com.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): Where required, we may treat browser-based opt-out signals such as GPC as a request to opt out of certain sharing for targeted advertising.

9. Email preferences

You can unsubscribe from marketing/newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email. We may still send non-promotional messages when necessary (e.g., important service notices).

10. Data retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to:

operate the Site;
maintain newsletters and related records;
administer Contributor accounts;
meet legal, accounting, and security needs.

Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the data and purpose.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is fully secure.

Contributors are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for activity under their accounts.
