Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Shawn News ("we," "us," or "the site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://shawnnews.com. We wrote it in plain language on purpose. If anything here is unclear, our contact page is the fastest way to ask.
Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information. The first is information you give us directly, such as your name and email address when you sign up for our newsletter or submit our contact form. The second is information collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember basic preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work correctly without them.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Shawn News. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time on site, and general location. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
Shawn News displays advertising served through Revive Adserver and other advertising partners. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. We do not control the cookies these partners set and recommend reviewing their own privacy policies for details.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your first name, last name, and email address through our third-party email platform. We use this information only to send you newsletter content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Third-party links
Our articles link to outside sources and publications, including the outlets in our RSS source cards. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Once you leave https://shawnnews.com, this policy no longer applies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain data uses. To exercise any of these rights, reach out through our contact page and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Children's privacy
Shawn News is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
