Privacy Policy Conspiracy News Effective Date: February 23, 2026
Conspiracy News Hub (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Conspiracy News Hub mobile app and web app (the “App”), available at app.conspiracy-news.com. The App serves as a companion for the Conspiracy-News Podcast hosted by Barb Eppilito.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.
Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect We design the App to collect as little personal information as possible. Currently, the App may collect:
- Non-personal / Device Information: Automatically collected technical data such as:
- Device type and model
- Operating system version
- IP address
- Browser type (if accessed via web)
- App version
- General usage patterns (e.g., which episodes are viewed or links clicked)
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through a future newsletter sign-up feature—not currently active).
- No Location Data: We do not collect precise geolocation or any location-based tracking.
- Analytics: Limited anonymous analytics (if any third-party tools are integrated via the platform) for app performance—data is aggregated only and does not identify individuals.
2. How We Collect Information Information is collected automatically through your device and app interactions (via webview / Progressive Web App technology).
We do not use cookies or trackers for advertising or profiling within the core App. Any external links (e.g., to Spotify) follow the third-party’s privacy practices.
3. How We Use Your Information We use the collected data solely to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the App (e.g., fix bugs, ensure episode links and embeds function properly).
- Provide access to podcast content (episode lists, descriptions, embeds, and links).
- Comply with legal obligations or respond to valid requests from authorities.
4. Sharing Your Information We do not sell your data to third parties. We may share information only in these limited cases:
- Aggregated or anonymized data with service providers (e.g., hosting or platform providers like Base44) strictly for app functionality.
- If required by law, court order, subpoena, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
- When you access external services (e.g., clicking a Spotify link), their privacy policies apply—we are not responsible for their practices.
5. Third-Party Services The App includes links to or embeds from:
- Spotify (or your podcast hosting platform) — governed by their privacy policy (see open.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy).
- Base44 platform (the builder tool) — see their privacy policy for any platform-level data handling.
We do not control third-party services and recommend reviewing their policies directly.
6. Data Security We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Children’s Privacy The App is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware of such collection, we will promptly delete it.
8. Your Choices and Rights
- You can stop using the App at any time.
- For rights under applicable laws (e.g., GDPR right to access/deletion, CCPA right to opt-out): Contact us using the details below. Given the minimal data collected, many requests may not apply.
- Device settings (e.g., limiting analytics or app permissions) may further restrict data collection.
9. Changes to This Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a revised “Effective Date.” Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
