Privacy Policy

IP Addresses

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of numbers assigned to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) during the time that you are online. Every website you visit has access to this information, due to the way the Internet works. This is nothing to worry about, as all websites need your IP in order to discern where they have to send the information to. It is possible for sites to personally identify you via your IP address, but that is only if you volunteer the information in the first place. We (newzsearch) only record IP addresses for the usage of statistics and to help with the general debugging of the website. We will never try to identify you by your IP, except in certain circumstances that warrant it, such as helping you with a problem, or if we suspect that your activities on our website are not within legal boundaries (as per the Terms of Service / Disclaimer.)

Email Addresses

We require proper email addresses for an account signup mainly due to security reasons and to provide some parts of our service (watches). Your email never leaves the boundaries of our database, and only the staff has access to that information.

Cookies

Cookies are little text files the can be stored in a certain area on your hard drive. Your web browser takes care that the cookies can only be read back in by those web sites that originally stored the cookie on your machine. Cookies can contain various information such as the user ID when logged in. newzsearch.com saves the following information in cookies: user id(when logged in), current search phrase ( to fill up the search field ), order preferences ( ascending/descending; order by date/size/header) and the search type (mp3/movie/apps). No other information is stored in the cookies. newzsearch.com does NOT track the cookie values, that means that no one except you can access the information stored there.

Public Forums

We may or may not provide message boards and comments systems to our members and the general public. Please remember that any information within these areas becomes Public Domain, and you should therefore exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information. In fact, we highly frown on such practices that are not within private boundaries. We cannot be held responsible for protecting the privacy of any information that you willingly choose to disclose upon the site. You do so at your own risk.

Security

We are doing as much as physically possible to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or alteration. Please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee under all circumstances that loss, misuse, unauthorised access or alteration to data will never occur. Therefore, we will not be held responsible should any of the aforementioned occur.
