Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 15, 2026 • Last Updated: November 15, 2026

At NEWS1UP (accessible at https://news1up.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by NEWS1UP and how we use it.

1. The Zero File Storage Guarantee

Unlike traditional file conversion websites that upload your files to remote web servers, NEWS1UP processes your documents, PDFs, images, and text locally in your own web browser using client-side JavaScript, WebAssembly, and native HTML5 Canvas APIs.

  • No Server Uploads: When you convert a PDF, compress an image, format text, or use our calculators, your files never leave your device’s local memory (RAM).
  • Zero Server Retention: We do not store, copy, inspect, or retain copies of your documents, photos, or data on our servers.
  • Automatic Memory Cleanup: The moment you close or refresh your browser tab, all temporary memory allocations on your computer are immediately released.

2. Information We Collect

When you visit NEWS1UP, we collect minimal data required to deliver a secure and functioning web experience:

  • Contact Information: If you voluntarily reach out via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, message subject, and inquiry details solely to respond to your request.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address in our secure database to deliver occasional site updates. You may unsubscribe at any time.
  • Log Files: Like standard web servers, NEWS1UP logs anonymous server request data including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

NEWS1UP uses essential session cookies to protect our forms from spam and maintain user preferences. We may also allow privacy-respecting third-party partners to place cookies for analytics and advertising as described below. For detailed information, please read our dedicated Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and its certified advertising partners to keep our digital utilities 100% free for all users worldwide.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to NEWS1UP and other sites across the internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or via aboutads.info.

5. Third-Party Web Analytics

We may utilize Google Analytics or similar aggregated analytics tools to monitor general platform performance, error frequencies, and visitor traffic patterns. These services collect non-personally identifiable telemetry to help us improve website responsiveness.

6. User Data Control & Deletion Requests

NEWS1UP operates on a strict minimization principle. Because our file converters and calculators execute locally in your web browser, we do not maintain accounts, track user profiles, or retain copies of documents.

The only personal records maintained are voluntary submissions made through our Contact Us form (Name, Email, Message) or Newsletter subscription. You have full control over this data:

  • Right to Inquire: You may request confirmation of any message or newsletter record associated with your email address.
  • Right to Complete Deletion: You may request permanent removal of your email from our newsletter database or contact logs at any time. We honor all removal requests promptly without friction.
  • No Data Brokering: We never sell, rent, license, or transfer your contact details to third-party data brokers or marketing lists.
