Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Renewonomics ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit renewonomics.org and related pages. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
Renewonomics is a static website. We do not operate a database server or store your personal data on our own servers. The following data may be processed:
- Account data you enter voluntarily — name, email address, company and profile details entered at signup or in your profile. This data is stored in your browser's
sessionStorageandlocalStorageonly. It does not leave your device to our servers. - Usage data via third-party services — Google AdSense and Google Analytics (if enabled) may collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, time on page, device type and approximate location via cookies.
- RSS feed requests — When fetching news feeds, requests pass through the allorigins.win CORS proxy. No personal data is sent in these requests.
2. Google AdSense & Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits. You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
3. How We Use Information
We use information solely to:
- Display personalised news content based on your selected category preferences (stored locally in your browser)
- Remember your login session for the duration of your browser tab session
- Serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
- Improve site performance and content quality
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
4. Data Storage & Security
All user profile data (name, email, preferences) is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage. This data:
- Never leaves your device to our servers
- Is automatically cleared when you clear your browser data
- Is not accessible to other websites
Because we do not receive or store your personal data on our servers, we cannot be subject to server-side data breaches involving your account information.
5. Third-Party Links
Our news feed links to articles on third-party websites (e.g. Reuters, Bloomberg, The Guardian). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
6. Children's Privacy
Renewonomics is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Rights (GDPR / India DPDP)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or India, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you (none, since it's stored in your browser)
- Request deletion of any data — simply clear your browser's localStorage
- Object to data processing for advertising purposes via Google Ads Settings
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
8. Consent Management
On your first visit, you may be shown a cookie consent banner by Google's Consent Management Platform if required by your jurisdiction. You can update your advertising preferences at any time via the Google Ads Settings link above.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
