Privacy Policy for Choroimeda.com
Welcome to Choroimeda.com. We operate as a modern digital media platform based in Bangladesh, delivering news, analysis, features, and multimedia content to our audience. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with the laws of Bangladesh, including the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act 2006 and the Cyber Security Act 2023, alongside global data protection frameworks where applicable. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletters, or engage with our digital marketing campaigns.
Information We Collect
We collect information about you in three primary ways: directly from your inputs, automatically through your interactions with our platform, and from trusted third parties.
When you register for an account, subscribe to premium newsletters, or participate in comment sections, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and password. We also save user-generated content like comments, forum posts, or feedback submitted through our open portals, as well as any information you share when contacting our editorial or customer support teams.
Additionally, our servers automatically track certain technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device identifiers, and pages viewed. We monitor usage metrics such as time spent on specific news articles, click-through paths, and interactions with video and audio players. Text files known as cookies are also placed on your device to analyze user behavior and serve personalized experiences.
How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information for purposes rooted in operational delivery, strategic marketing, and legislative compliance. First and foremost, we use it for content delivery to present our media articles and optimize layout based on your device profile. We also use data for audience segmentation and marketing to group users based on consumption habits and serve targeted advertisements tailored to your interests. Performance analytics help us evaluate which journalistic pieces resonate most with our audience, allowing us to invest resources more effectively. Finally, we use data for security and monitoring to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, spam, or malicious cyberattacks against our network.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosures
Choroimeda.com does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share information under controlled, secure parameters with trusted service providers. These include cloud hosting infrastructure like AWS, email dispatch systems like Mailchimp, and content delivery networks. We also share data with advertising partners like programmatic ad networks (including Google AdSense) that require basic device identifiers to serve contextual advertisements. Lastly, we will share information with legal authorities or law enforcement agencies in Bangladesh when strictly compelled by valid legal processes under prevailing national security or data laws.
Data Storage, Retention, and Security
Your data is securely stored on global cloud servers with localized access management protocols. We apply industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard data transiting through Choroimeda.com. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the operational, commercial, or compliance objectives outlined in this policy. When data is no longer required, it is completely purged or permanently anonymized.
Your Rights and Choices
As a consumer of Choroimeda.com, you hold actionable choices regarding your privacy. For marketing choices, every newsletter dispatched features an explicit unsubscribe hyperlink in the footer, and clicking this immediately stops direct marketing communications. For cookie management, you can adjust your browser settings to decline tracking cookies, though certain interactive features on our media portal may lose functionality as a result. For data rectification, if you maintain a registered account, you can update your contact information directly within your user dashboard at any time.
Children’s Privacy
Choroimeda.com does not knowingly target or collect data from children under the age of 13, or under 18 without parental oversight in accordance with local customs. If we discover that a minor has provided us with personal information, we take rapid measures to delete it immediately.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at our discretion to match changing technological requirements, digital business frameworks, or legislative updates in Bangladesh. Any modifications will display a revised effective date at the top of the page. Continued usage of our portal constitutes acceptance of the modified policy terms.
