Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to globaliqnews.com and all online services or publications operated by GLOBALIQNEWS Media Group. It also applies to certain services provided through our website by GLOBALIQNEWS Media Group.

At globaliqnews.com, we collect and process information about our users for four main purposes:

To provide personalized services that are tailored to individual users.

To monitor, maintain, and continuously improve the services we offer.

To generate revenue by selling advertising space, which helps us keep the website free for users.

With user consent, we provide relevant marketing and promotional offers.

Additional privacy policies may apply to specific services on globaliqnews.com. Please review them at the time of registration or subscription.

Our Principles

We are committed to protecting user privacy through the appropriate use of security technologies. This means that we use appropriate physical, digital, and organizational measures to protect your data. If we outsource any processes, we ensure that the service provider maintains strong data protection practices.

We make sure to give you choices regarding your information. For example, tick box options will allow you to decide whether you want to receive marketing communications.

We respect your privacy. Marketing emails will only be sent from the GLOBALIQNEWS Media Group or, if you consent, from carefully selected third-party partners.

Occasionally, we may contact you regarding your account or subscription - for example, to send reminders, alerts, or copyright notifications.

We only collect and use personal details where we have a legitimate business reason and are legally entitled to do so.

We are transparent about what data we collect, how we use it, and how long we retain it.

We only use personal data for the purposes for which it was originally collected, and ensure that it is securely disposed of when it is no longer needed.

As our site is accessible via the internet, any data you share can potentially be accessed globally.

How We Use Your Information

We collect information when you:

Use our services.

Accept cookies.

Post content or participate in promotions and competitions. Some services may require additional details, such as your location, particularly when using mobile apps or location-based features.

Registration

The minimum information required for registration is an email address and a password. Additional details may be requested depending on the service (e.g., classifieds, events, or promotions). Optional questions may also be asked to help us better personalize your experience.

Social Login

If you sign in using Facebook, you authorize Facebook to share your name, email, date of birth, location, and other profile details with us. Similarly, signing in via Twitter provides us with your Twitter handle and avatar. You may revoke these permissions through your social media account settings at any time.

Children’s Data

Except for designated services like Young World, globaliqnews.com does not knowingly collect data from children under 16. For Young World, parental consent is required, and all content is moderated before being published.

Data Sharing

We will never share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

With consent, we may share data with carefully chosen partners.

We may use trusted service providers (some of which may be located outside Pakistan) to support site operations. These providers are contractually bound to safeguard your information.

We may disclose personal data to comply with the law, government requests, or to protect the rights and security of our users and systems.

Some of our pages may use third-party plugins (e.g., Facebook “Recommend”). If you are logged in to such platforms, they may collect data linked to your account. Please review their privacy policies for details.

Cookies

We use cookies for purposes such as:

Tracking the number of unique visitors and their browsing patterns.

Collecting anonymous usage data through third-party services.
Monitoring ad impressions and conversions.
Delivering more relevant advertisements and limiting the number of times you see them.
Enabling media features (e.g., Flash cookies for video content).

If you disable cookies, some features of the website may not function properly, though you will still be able to access editorial content.

For more details on cookies and how to manage them, please visit our [ https://www.globaliqnews.com/p/privacy-policy_20.html ]. By continuing to use our site, you consent to our use of cookies.

Advertising

We use targeted advertising to display content and ads that match user interests.

As you browse our site, advertising cookies may be stored to track your behavior and group it with similar users.

For example, if you read many food-related articles, you may see more ads related to food and beverages.

We do not share behavioral data with other websites.

Additionally, some of our content may include affiliate links. While we may earn commissions through these, our editorial independence is never compromised. Sponsored or paid content will always be clearly labeled.
