Privacy

Awoko Newspaper does not sell personal data, rent email lists, or trade your information for ad revenue. The business model is simple: publish useful material, keep costs low, and avoid the surveillance economy.

Contact forms send only what you type into them. Your name, email, and message go to an editorial inbox. We do not log your IP address separately, attach tracking pixels, or pass your details to a third-party CRM. If you write to us, we read it and reply if a reply makes sense.

Technical logs exist briefly for security and reliability. Server access logs, error traces, and traffic summaries help us catch broken links, fend off spam, and keep the site online. These logs are not sold, shared, or mined for behavioral profiles. They are usually deleted after a few weeks.

We do not use third-party analytics that follow you around the web. No Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no ad-network trackers. We can see which pages get visited and roughly where traffic comes from, but we cannot tie that to individual people, and we do not try.

Cookies are minimal. If the site sets a cookie, it is for something functional, remembering that you dismissed a banner, keeping you logged in if we ever add accounts, not for tracking. You will not see a cookie consent wall because there is nothing to consent to.

Email subscriptions, if we ever offer them, will be manual and transparent. You will know exactly what you are signing up for, and you will be able to unsubscribe with one click. We will not auto-enroll you, hide the unsubscribe link, or keep emailing after you opt out.

If you want something removed, an old comment you left, a tip you sent, a name in an archived article, email us through the contact page and explain what and why. We will do what we can, balanced against the integrity of the archive and the public interest.

This policy may be updated if the site adds new features or if privacy law requires it. Any major change will be noted at the top of this page with a date. For now, the rule is simple: we collect as little as possible, keep it as briefly as necessary, and never sell it.
