This Privacy Policy explains how Stonne Global News ("Stonne," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by ArkDevLabs, handles information in connection with your use of the Stonne website and the Stonne applications distributed on Google Play and the Microsoft Store. Stonne is a news and information publication that also offers optional user accounts and a Markets section. This policy describes what information is collected across these platforms and how it is used.
This policy describes the categories of information associated with your use of Stonne Global News, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you. By using the Stonne website or application, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
You can browse and read most Stonne content without creating an account. An account is required to use features such as saving articles to your personal Saved Articles list.
When you create a Stonne account, we collect the account information described in the "Account Information" section below. If you do not create an account, you can browse and read Stonne content without providing account information directly to us.
Stonne currently does not operate newsletter sign-ups, comment systems, or payment features. An account is currently required only for features such as saving articles to your personal Saved Articles list. If we introduce additional features that involve the collection or use of personal information, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe those practices.
If you create a Stonne account, we store information necessary to provide and maintain your account, including a unique user identifier, your email address, and the date you joined. If you use the Saved Articles feature, information about the articles you save is also associated with your account so that your saved articles can be accessed when you sign in.
Authentication may be handled in part by a third-party authentication provider. That provider may process information necessary to authenticate your account and help keep your account secure, subject to its own privacy practices.
We use account information to create and maintain your account, authenticate you when you sign in, provide account-related functionality such as Saved Articles, and send you important service-related or security communications. We do not use account information for unrelated purposes, and we do not sell your personal information.
Like most websites and applications, certain technical information may be generated or collected automatically as part of normal use. Stonne uses Google Analytics to understand how users interact with the service and to help us improve its content, features, and overall experience.
Depending on how you access Stonne, automatically collected information may include information such as your IP address, browser or application type, device information, operating system, general usage information, and information about how you interact with Stonne. Google Analytics may process certain information on our behalf in accordance with its own privacy practices.
We do not operate a separate, independent tracking or fingerprinting system for profiling users outside of the third-party services described in this Privacy Policy.
We use information described in this policy to create and maintain accounts, authenticate users, provide account-related and Markets functionality, communicate important service or security updates, understand general usage of the Site, and support the display of advertising. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use account information for purposes unrelated to operating Stonne.
Stonne uses session and authentication cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in and maintain your authenticated session where applicable. These technologies are necessary to provide account features such as Saved Articles and to maintain the security and functionality of your account.
In addition, third-party services used by Stonne, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies in your browser for analytics, advertising, measurement, and related purposes, subject to their own privacy practices.
We do not control the specific cookies, identifiers, or retention periods used by these third-party services. You can review or manage cookie preferences through your browser settings and, where applicable, through controls provided by the relevant third-party services.
The Markets section of Stonne displays financial and market information, such as company names, ticker symbols, prices, performance figures, exchange information, currencies, and related data obtained from third-party market-data providers. This market data is not personal information about you; it is displayed to users viewing the relevant Markets pages.
Market data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable at times, and ArkDevLabs may change or replace market-data providers. Stonne does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of market information. Displaying market information does not constitute investment advice; see our Terms of Service for additional information.
Stonne uses certain third-party services to provide, operate, secure, and improve the service. These services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
This website uses Google Analytics to help ArkDevLabs understand how visitors use Stonne, such as which articles and sections are viewed most often. Google Analytics may collect information about your device, browser, and activity on Stonne in accordance with Google's own privacy practices.
This website also uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Advertising served through AdSense is provided and managed by Google rather than directly by Stonne. Google may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with advertising, measurement, and related services, subject to Google's own privacy practices.
Stonne accounts may rely on a third-party authentication provider to authenticate users and maintain account security. Stonne's Markets section also uses third-party market-data providers to obtain financial and market information. These providers may process information necessary to provide their respective services.
ArkDevLabs does not control the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the relevant third-party providers to understand how they collect, use, and process information.
Stonne Global News is also distributed as applications through Google Play and the Microsoft Store. The applications provide access to Stonne content and services and process information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The Stonne applications use the same underlying account system as the Stonne website. If you sign in to the same Stonne account on the website and an application, your account information and account-related features, such as Saved Articles, are available across those platforms.
Stonne does not intentionally collect additional personal information through the applications beyond the information described in this Privacy Policy, except where necessary for the operation, security, or functionality of the relevant application.
Your use of a Stonne application is also subject to the policies and terms of the platform through which you obtained it, including Google Play or the Microsoft Store. Those platforms may independently collect or process information in connection with your use of their services, subject to their respective privacy policies.
ArkDevLabs takes reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, secure authentication practices, and protections for data transmitted between users and Stonne where applicable.
We limit access to personal information to the systems and personnel that need it to operate, maintain, and secure Stonne. Where Stonne uses third-party service providers, those providers may apply their own security measures to information they process on behalf of or in connection with the service.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by Stonne or its third-party service providers.
ArkDevLabs retains account information for as long as your Stonne account remains active or for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
If you delete your account, ArkDevLabs will delete or anonymize account information within a reasonable period, subject to information that may need to be retained for legitimate security, legal, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other lawful purposes.
Information retained for these purposes will be kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
If you would like to delete your Stonne account and associated personal information, you can submit a deletion request using the contact information provided below. ArkDevLabs will review and process the request in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.
When an account is deleted, ArkDevLabs will delete or anonymize the personal information associated with the account, including the user's email address and account information, subject to information that may need to be retained for legitimate security, legal, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other lawful purposes.
Information associated with features such as Saved Articles will also be removed or anonymized where reasonably applicable as part of the account deletion process.
Stonne may reference, cite, summarize, or link to third-party news sources, publishers, and external websites. These external websites operate independently of Stonne and ArkDevLabs and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms, which we do not control.
When you follow a link from Stonne to an external website, that website may collect and process information about you according to its own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party website you visit through a link on Stonne.
Stonne Global News is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the Stonne website or applications, including through account registration.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can review Google's own tools and settings for managing how Analytics and AdSense may use your information. If you have a Stonne account, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information as described in the "Account and Data Deletion" section above. Depending on your location, you may also have additional rights under applicable data protection laws.
If you have questions about your privacy choices in connection with the Service, you can contact us using the information below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect new features, platforms, or services. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, including about your account information or a data deletion request, you can reach us at [email protected].
