If you have questions about this policy, contact us at kurdnewshub@gmail.com.
1. Who we are
DengeCudi is an online media and community platform focused on Kurdistan-related news, video, images, encyclopedia content, live streams, and user discussions. We publish our own content and allow registered users to submit posts, comments, and media.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account information: username, email address, password (stored in hashed form), and optional profile details when you register.
- User content: posts, titles, descriptions, comments, tags, categories, uploaded images, videos, audio, and other materials you submit.
- Feedback: name, email, message content, and any information you include when using our feedback form.
- Communications: messages you send to us and notification preferences (for example, email alerts when someone replies to your comment).
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and approximate access times.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookies Policy for details.
- Security logs: data related to spam prevention, abuse detection, and site security (including reCAPTCHA verification signals).
2.3 Information from third parties
- Embedded content: when you view embedded videos or other third-party content (for example YouTube), those providers may collect data according to their own policies.
- Social features: if we display third-party comment or sharing widgets, those services may set cookies or collect usage data.
3. How we use your information
We use collected information to:
- operate, maintain, and improve DengeCudi;
- create and manage user accounts;
- publish, display, and moderate user-submitted content;
- send service-related emails (registration confirmation, password reset, comment notifications);
- respond to feedback, support requests, and legal notices (including DMCA requests);
- prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- analyze traffic and usage to improve performance and user experience;
- comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
4. Legal bases (where applicable)
If you are in a region that requires a legal basis for processing (such as the EU/UK), we rely on:
- Contract: to provide the service you request (account, posting, commenting).
- Legitimate interests: security, moderation, analytics, and site improvement.
- Consent: where required for non-essential cookies or optional communications.
- Legal obligation: when we must retain or disclose data to comply with law.
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Service providers that help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, security, spam protection such as Google reCAPTCHA).
- Other users when you post publicly (your username, profile information you choose to show, and content you publish).
- Authorities or legal parties when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer (with continued protection consistent with this policy).
6. Public content and search
Posts, comments, usernames, and other content you publish on public areas of DengeCudi may be visible to anyone on the internet, indexed by search engines, and shared by other users. Do not post information you do not want to be public.
7. Data retention
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. Account data is generally kept while your account is active. We may retain certain logs and moderation records for security and legal purposes after deletion.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- request a copy of your data.
To exercise these rights, email kurdnewshub@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
9. Account deletion
You may request account deletion by contacting us. We will remove or anonymize personal data where possible, but public posts or comments may remain visible if required for community continuity, legal compliance, or backup retention periods.
10. Children
DengeCudi is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
11. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where our hosting or service providers operate. We take reasonable steps to protect data in accordance with this policy.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Third-party links and services
Our site links to external resources (for example the Kurdistan conflict map, live TV pages, encyclopedia games, and social media). Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of DengeCudi after changes means you accept the updated policy.
