Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

This policy explains what information Naya Tamasha (“we”) collects when you use nayatamasha.com and how our publishing app works with social media platforms.

1. Visitors to the website

• No accounts needed. You can read everything without signing up. Reading our pages does not set cookies of our own.
• Polls. If you vote in a poll, we set one cookie with a random number so the same browser cannot vote twice. We store only a keyed hash of it with your vote — nothing that identifies you.
• Comments. If you post a comment we store the name you enter, your comment, your browser type and a one-way hash of your IP address (used only to stop spam). Comments are published after review. To have a comment removed, email us.
• Notifications. If you choose to receive browser notifications, the subscription is handled by our provider OneSignal under its privacy policy. You can turn them off at any time in your browser settings.
• Server logs. Like every website, our servers and our network provider (Cloudflare) record technical data for each request — IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time — to keep the site secure and working. Logs are kept for up to 30 days.
• Analytics. If enabled, we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which stories are read. Google may set cookies for this. See how Google uses data.
• Advertising. The site is supported by advertising — see section 2 below.
• Embedded content. Some stories include videos embedded from YouTube; those are governed by YouTube’s own privacy policy.

2. Advertising and cookies

We show ads to keep the site free. Ads are clearly labelled “اشتہار” (advertisement). They come from two sources:

2.1 Google AdSense and other ad networks

• We use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and/or other websites on the internet.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites. These cookies may record information such as the ads you saw, whether you clicked them, your approximate location derived from your IP address, and your device and browser type.
• Ads may be personalised (based on your interests) or non-personalised (based on general context such as the page you are reading and your approximate location). Non-personalised ads still use cookies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and to combat fraud and abuse.
• Other third-party ad vendors or networks may also serve ads on the site using similar technologies. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.
• You can learn more in How Google uses cookies in advertising and How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

2.2 Ads we place directly

Some ads are placed by us for sponsors. For these we only count how many times an ad was shown and clicked, in total. We do not set cookies for them and do not identify or profile you.

2.3 Your choices

• Opt out of personalised advertising by Google at Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of personalised ads from many third-party vendors at aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them; ads may then be less relevant.
• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used, through a consent message provided via Google’s certified consent tools. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy/cookie link shown in that message.

2.4 Analytics

If enabled, Google Analytics uses cookies to count visits and understand which stories are read. Reports are aggregated; we do not use them to identify individual readers. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

3. Our social media publishing app

We use an app connected to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok only to publish our own stories to our own pages and accounts. Specifically:

• The app is used only by our editorial staff to connect the Naya Tamasha Facebook Page, Instagram account, YouTube channel and TikTok account.
• It stores the access tokens those platforms issue for our accounts, encrypted (AES-256), on our own server. It does not sell, share or use them for anything other than publishing our content and reading basic status of our own posts.
• It does not collect personal data about our readers or followers, does not read private messages, and does not build profiles of anyone.

4. Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data is processed only by the service providers named above (hosting, Cloudflare, Google and other ad/analytics providers described in section 2) to run the site.

5. Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, opt out of personalised ads in Google Ad Settings, and ask us any question about your data or request deletion at [email protected]. See also our data deletion instructions.

6. Children

The site is a general-audience news site and is not directed at children under 13.

7. Changes

We will update this page if our practices change; the date below shows the latest version.
