Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Honorable Updates (“we”, “us”, or “our”) publishes educational news and information for students and academic communities. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and account details when you create a reader account or subscribe to updates. We also store the reading preferences, saved stories, and reading history that you choose to use in your account. Like most websites, our hosting and service providers may receive limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and approximate location.
How we use information
We use this information to provide reader accounts and newsletters, save your preferences, maintain site security, understand how the site is used, respond to enquiries, and improve our reporting. We do not sell personal information.
Advertising, cookies, and similar technologies
We may use Google AdSense to display advertising on public content pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve personalised ads based on those visits.
You can control personalised advertising in Google’s My Ad Center. You may also visit YourAdChoices to learn about opt-outs offered by participating third-party advertising vendors. Other advertising partners, if used, may set their own cookies; their notices and opt-out tools apply to their services.
For visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, personalised advertising must only be requested after the required choices have been collected through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP). If you see a consent message, you can use it to accept, reject, or manage advertising choices. You may change your choices through the CMP’s privacy options where available.
Service providers and disclosures
We use service providers to host the site, store account data, deliver email-related features, and provide advertising. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services or where required by law. We may disclose information where necessary to protect our users, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce our terms, or comply with a legal obligation.
Data retention and your choices
We keep account information for as long as your account or subscription remains active and as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above. You may request access, correction, deletion, or withdrawal from our newsletter by emailing us. We may need to retain limited information where required for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
Children
Our reporting may be useful to students, but the site is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children who cannot legally provide consent in their location. If you believe a child has provided us personal information without appropriate consent, contact us and we will review the request.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The date above shows when it was last revised. For privacy questions or requests, email teamhonorableupdates@gmail.com.
