4. How We Share and Disclose Your Information

Global Nexus News takes your privacy seriously and does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may, however, share or disclose your information in specific, limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users. These partners, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and email delivery platforms (e.g., NexusMail Solutions for newsletter delivery), are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency request). This includes complying with national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Global Nexus News's assets, your personal information may be transferred to the successor entity. We would notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
  • Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

5. Data Security

The security of your personal data is paramount to us. We implement robust technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption protocols (like SSL/TLS) to secure data transmission to and from our website.
  • Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require the information to perform their duties.
  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses in our systems.
  • Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or to comply with our legal obligations (such as retaining data for tax, accounting, or audit purposes), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The retention period for different types of personal data varies based on its nature and purpose. For example, email addresses for newsletter subscribers are kept until you unsubscribe, while contact form submissions may be archived after a certain period of inactivity.
