Privacy Policy
At Agamir Somoy, we believe transparency is the cornerstone of trust. This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we collect, use, protect and manage your information across our website (www.agamirsomoy.com), mobile applications and digital platforms. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge and agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
1. Information Architecture: What We Collect
We categorize the data we collect into two primary streams to ensure we only process what is necessary for a premium news experience.
•Voluntary Information: Data you provide directly, such as your name or email when subscribing to newsletters or contacting our editorial team.
•Automated Digital Footprints: When you navigate our platforms, we automatically log technical data, including:
•Device Identification: Model, manufacturer, and operating system.
•Network Data: IP address, proxy servers and ISP details.
•Usage Patterns: Time stamps, pages viewed and search queries within the app.
•Geolocation Data: We may use GPS or IP-based location tracking to provide localized news (e.g., Dhaka-specific updates). You may opt-out via your device settings at any time.
2. Strategic Data Processing: How We Use Your Information
Your data is not just "stored"; it is used to refine the way you consume news. In Fiscal Year 2026, our processing focus includes:
•Personalization: Delivering targeted news and advertisements based on your interests and location.
•Operational Integrity: Troubleshooting app crashes and monitoring for fraudulent activities to protect the community.
•Feedback Loops: Using your interaction trends to decide which investigative reports or features to prioritize.
•Vital Interests: Processing data to prevent harm or protect the safety of our users in emergency situations.
3. Global Compliance & Legal Bases
We operate under strict legal frameworks, ensuring that your data is processed only when a valid legal reason exists:
•Consent: Explicit permission granted by you for specific features.
•Legitimate Interests: Enhancing user experience and supporting our journalistic marketing activities.
•Legal Obligations: Complying with the laws of Bangladesh and international standards like GDPR (for our global readers).
•Journalistic Exception: Data processed solely for journalistic or literary purposes as permitted under Canadian and European privacy laws.
4. Data Retention & Security Protocols
We do not hold onto your data indefinitely.
•Retention Period: We keep information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined (e.g., as long as your account is active).
•Deletion & Anonymization: Once the need expires, data is either permanently deleted or anonymized so it cannot be traced back to you.
•Security Disclaimer: While we use "Military-Grade" organizational and technical safeguards, no system is 100% secure. We encourage users to access our Services only within secure network environments.
