Introduction

NewsMesh ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our API service.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and payment information (processed securely through a third-party payment provider).

API Usage Data

We collect information about your API usage, including request counts, timestamps, and API endpoints accessed. This data is used for billing, rate limiting, and service improvement.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain our API service
• To process payments and manage subscriptions
• To monitor usage and enforce rate limits
• To communicate with you about service updates
• To improve our service and develop new features
• To comply with legal obligations

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure API key management, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. API usage logs are retained for up to 90 days for operational purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services for authentication, payment processing, and infrastructure. These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our service. We use essential cookies required for the service to function (such as authentication cookies) and may use analytics cookies to improve our service. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
