Privacy policy

Last updated 1 August 2026

This policy describes what Inner Circle Nepal collects when you read the site or subscribe to the briefing. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

What we collect

  • Your email address, if you subscribe to the newsletter, along with the edition you selected and which page you signed up from.
  • What you send us, if you use the contact form: your name, email, chosen topic and message.
  • Aggregate traffic data — which pages are read, roughly where from, and what referred you. We do not build profiles of individual readers.

What we do not collect

  • We do not run third-party advertising trackers.
  • We do not sell, rent or share reader data with anyone.
  • We do not require an account to read anything, so we hold no reading history tied to a person.
  • Saved articles and your theme, language and edition preferences are stored in your own browser and never transmitted to us.

Advertising

The site carries advertising, and every unit is labelled Advertisement so you always know what you are looking at. Our journalism is not for sale: advertisers get space, never influence over what we publish.

Ads we sell directly are an image and a link, served from our own site. We count how many times one was shown and how many times it was clicked, and that is the whole of it — those counts carry no identifier for you, are not joined to anything else, and cannot be traced back to a person.

Sources and tips

If you contact us as a source, we treat your identity as confidential by default. We do not publish immigration status, employer names or locations of sources who ask us not to, and we do not disclose source correspondence to third parties except where compelled by a court — in which case we will tell you if we are lawfully able to.

Where your data lives

Newsletter subscriptions and contact messages are stored in a managed Postgres database (Supabase) with row-level security enabled, so a public API key cannot read the subscriber list. Emails are sent through a third-party delivery provider that processes addresses on our behalf and is contractually barred from other use.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email newsroom@icn.news from the address in question and we will action it within 30 days. Newsletter unsubscribe is one click from any email and requires no request.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has subscribed, email us and we will remove the record.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will note it here and, where the change affects subscribers, say so in the briefing rather than only updating the page quietly.
