Privacy Policy & Data Security Charter | Current May 2026

At Pickwisecouve.com, privacy is treated as a structural principle rather than an afterthought. This charter, current as of May 2026, explains precisely how our minimalist live news portal handles data — and, more importantly, what it deliberately chooses not to collect.

1. Our Core Commitment

Our platform is architected to operate with the lightest possible data footprint. We guarantee zero tracking of personal user identification vectors and maintain no persistent cross-site footprint logs. We do not build advertising profiles, sell user data, or fingerprint your device across the wider web.

2. Transit Log Caching

Our platform caches transit logs strictly to streamline 1-minute layout re-renders. These transient caches exist solely to ensure that the auto-refresh synchronization loop can deliver updated news summaries efficiently without redundant network calls. Such caches contain interface state data only and are not tied to your identity.

3. No Personal Identification Vectors

We do not request, require, or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise geolocation, or account credentials. Because the portal functions as a client-side reader, there is no login system and therefore no personal registry to compromise.

4. Third-Party Feed Sources

News content is retrieved from public RSS endpoints via a CORS proxy wrapper. When your browser retrieves feed data, standard network metadata may be visible to those upstream providers under their own privacy terms. We do not control and are not responsible for the data practices of third-party publishers.

5. Local Interface State

Minimal local storage is used to remember your cookie banner acknowledgment and to preserve auto-refresh interval preferences. This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

6. Your Control

You may clear locally stored interface state at any time by clearing your browser cache and storage. Doing so will reset the cookie banner and refresh preferences on your next visit.
