Privacy — your news, your choice

Help us understand which features readers enjoy, only if you are comfortable with it. Saying No does not block news, Search, Filters, or Analyze.

Statistics are off until you give permission.

Only with your permission

Feature statistics: selected news categories, news regions, and sources. Design and style preferences are not collected. We count setting selections, not individual readers.
Approximate location: when a local location database is configured, your IP address is used briefly on our server to estimate country, state/province and approximate city. The statistics database does not store your IP address. No outside IP-lookup service is contacted.
Optional visitor region: after choosing No, you may separately select your region from a dropdown and click Share my region, or Skip. No typing, city lookup, IP lookup or GPS is used for this answer. Sharing a region does not enable feature statistics.

Location availability: Automatic country/state lookup is not configured. Automatic location is recorded as unknown; visitors who choose No may still separately share their region.

Basic page count without identifiers

The server increments an aggregate counter when it serves the public news page, even if you choose No. It does not use cookies, IP addresses, location or visitor identifiers for this counter. Reloads, pagination and bots can count; these are page requests, not unique visitors.

What is not sent to our statistics database

Your search words, tag text, saved-filter names, selected articles, article-reading history, AI prompts, name, email, precise coordinates, and persistent visitor identifiers. News-region filters represent your interests, not where you live.

How we use and keep the counts

We use daily totals to understand popular features and broad geographic patterns. Preferences are counted separately, not stored as a personal profile or a complete filter combination. Approximate location counts are separate from preference counters and reflect consenting page requests, not unique people. A voluntarily shared visitor region is counted separately from news-filter regions and automatic location estimates. We never combine these into a single visitor-location total.

New counts are combined into weekly reports retained for the latest 52 completed weeks, plus current-week daily counters. The weekly job deletes daily counters only after archiving them successfully. If the job fails, pending counters remain until it is repaired. Legacy statistics collected under the previous notice retain their original 90-day limit and are not moved to year-long reports. Reports are private to Admin and include small totals; these do not establish unique readership.

Your choice and your device

We remember Yes or No, the time of your choice, and this notice version in a first-party cookie for 180 days. A short-lived technical session protects requests and limits repeated counts. You can turn statistics off here at any time; already-combined totals cannot be separated to remove one person's contribution.

Your saved filters, theme, and other requested settings remain in your browser so those features work. Analyze uses temporary tab storage. A separate region-choice cookie remembers Share or Skip for 180 days without storing the selected region in the cookie. Saying No stops feature and automatic-location statistics; it does not erase your saved settings. Clearing site data removes saved settings and the remembered privacy choice.

Other requests and services

Your hosting connection necessarily exposes an IP address to the server. Hosting/security logs and any hosting backups are separate from this statistics feature. Search terms are sent to the server to find news, but are not included in our statistics payload.

Google Translate and websites you open through article or AI links operate under their own privacy policies. This statistics choice does not authorize those providers to track you.

Device-language detection happens in your browser and is not added to WNA statistics. Automatic translation uses Google Translate, so your browser connects to Google when translation runs. You can select English to read the original page.

10. How are WNA’s nine regions grouped?

These are WNA’s custom news groupings, not the official UN classification. Each listed country belongs to one group.

Northern America
Latin America
Europe
Middle East
Central Asia
South Asia
Far East
Africa
Oceania

News regions filter where an article’s event happens. An optional visitor region tells us where a reader is. One is never used to guess the other.

The country dropdown in Search shows which countries and territories belong to each group. Cyprus is in Europe in this app.

10.1. Middle East — which countries are included?

This group includes Türkiye and Egypt, together with Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

Egypt is not repeated under Africa; Türkiye is not repeated under Europe.

10.2. Central Asia — why does it include Russia?

For easier news browsing, WNA uses a broader Central Asia group:

Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
South Caucasus: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Russia: the whole country, without splitting it between Europe and Asia.

This is an app grouping, not a claim that Russia or the South Caucasus are geographically Central Asia.

10.3. South Asia — which countries are included?

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

10.4. Far East — what does it cover?

East Asia: China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea and South Korea.
Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.

Russia is under Central Asia, not Far East.

10.5. Latin America — where does Mexico belong?

Mexico belongs to Latin America in this app.
The group also covers Central America, South America and the Caribbean, including their listed territories.
Northern America contains Canada, the United States, Greenland, Bermuda, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

In WNA, “Latin America” is a broad regional label that includes the Caribbean, Belize, Guyana and Suriname, even though the term can have a narrower cultural meaning.

10.6. Why are some articles missing from a region filter?

Regions use the event country assigned to an article during AI processing, not the publisher’s country. An article without an assigned country may not match your selected region.

10.7. What happens to my older saved region filters?

Your saved filter names and other choices stay intact. Older broad region selections are adapted:

Asia becomes Central Asia, South Asia and Far East.
South America becomes Latin America.
The former North America group becomes Northern America plus Latin America.

Some adapted filters cover more countries than before. Review the Regions checkboxes and save a new filter if you want a narrower selection. Historical statistics are not redistributed into the new groups.

11. Where are my saved settings stored?

Named filters, default choices, and appearance settings are saved in the browser or app you are using. They may differ on another device.

Clearing website data removes these preferences.

Analyze These selections are kept for the current browser-tab session.

Optional statistics are separate. Open Privacy in the menu to see what is collected only with permission, or to turn statistics off.

12. When does new news arrive?

The app checks for new news feeds 4 times per hour, at :03, :18, :33, :48 UTC, then enriches unprocessed articles with AI. The administrator controls this shared schedule; actual start times depend on the server scheduler.

AI processing or provider limits can delay categories and locations.

13. App updates

Automatic checks: The app checks when it opens or resumes, and once a minute while visible.

Installing an update: The page reloads automatically when no unfinished form or dialog is in use.

An internet connection is required. Update checks cannot run while the app is closed or suspended.

Campanha incentiva voto de quem tem mais de 70 anos

Neste último dia de prazo para solicitar transporte gratuito individual nas eleições brasileiras, mapeamento do data8 revela diferenças regionais na implementação do programa Seu Voto Importa, voltado para atender eleitores brasileiros com deficiência ou mobilidade reduzida, que não dispõem de meios próprios para chegar ao local de votação – entre eles, pessoas idosas com dificuldade de deslocamento. Enquanto a iniciativa alcança mais de 300 municípios em São Paulo e 358 em Minas Gerais, ainda são pontuais as ações dirigidas especificamente aos eleitores com 70 anos ou mais, faixa etária para a qual o voto é facultativo. A comunicação também aparece no levantamento como um desafio: nem sempre esse público é informado de maneira clara das possibilidades de solicitar o serviço, cujo prazo expira nesta segunda-feira (14). Notícias relacionadas:Justiça preserva direito de idosos a passagens interestaduais .TRE de Alagoas lança HQ para orientar idosos contra desinformação.Aumento do eleitorado idoso pauta campanhas, mas abstenção é desafio.Criado pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) a partir da Resolução 23.753/2026, o Seu Voto Importa estabelece as diretrizes para a oferta do serviço pelos Tribunais Regionais Eleitorais (TREs). A norma inclui os idosos entre as pessoas com mobilidade reduzida quando essa condição dificulta ou impede o deslocamento por meios próprios. Para o primeiro turno, a solicitação pode ser feita pela própria pessoa – ou por curador, apoiador ou procurador –, presencialmente no cartório eleitoral ou pelos canais disponibilizados por cada TRE. Os pedidos são avaliados individualmente, considerando fatores como grau de limitação funcional, existência de transporte público acessível e distância entre a residência e o local de votação. O transporte pode incluir os trajetos de ida e volta entre a residência e a seção eleitoral e, quando necessário ao exercício do voto, um acompanhante. A disponibilidade do serviço e as informações sobre o transporte devem ser confirmadas ao eleitor até 48 horas antes da votação. A oferta está condicionada às possibilidades materiais, orçamentárias e financeiras dos tribunais – com prioridade para situações de maior vulnerabilidade. Cléa Klouri, fundadora do data8 e coordenadora do mapeamento que integra o Movimento Voto 70+, a criação de uma política nacional que reconheça e busque remover barreiras concretas de acesso às urnas representa um avanço. Um dos problemas identificados pelo data8 está na linguagem. Embora a resolução inclua idosos no conceito de mobilidade reduzida quando houver dificuldade ou impedimento para o deslocamento por meios próprios, uma pessoa de 75 ou 80 anos pode não se identificar espontaneamente com essa classificação. De acordo com análise do data8, embora as dificuldades de deslocamento e acesso à informação atinjam a população idosa de maneira geral – comprometendo o exercício do voto –, a partir dos 70 anos surge uma questão adicional: o voto passa a ser facultativo. Nesse grupo, remover a barreira física para chegar à urna não basta, necessariamente, para estimular a participação. Segundo Cléa Klouri, o mapeamento identificou uma abstenção muito grande das pessoas acima de 70 anos nas últimas eleições. “Fizemos uma campanha desde o início do ano para incentivar essas pessoas a votarem. Uma das razões é que pessoas a partir dessa idade acabam se sentindo um pouco invizibilizadas, acham que seu voto não tem mais importância, que ninguém mais quer saber sua opinião. Como toda a experiência que tiveram, elas têm muito a contribuir para o país”, explicou. Atualmente o país conta com cerca de 16 milhões de idosos com mais de 70 anos, 10,6% do total de eleitores aptos. Na última eleição, dos 25 milhões de brasileiros que não foram às urnas em 2022, 8 milhões faziam parte desse grupo, registrando quase 60% de abstenção.

This app remembers your settings on your device. May we also count your category, region, and news-source selections to improve World News?

With Yes, we may also estimate your country/state/city on our server when a local location database is available. No GPS location, search text, or saved-filter names go into these statistics. Your answer is remembered for 180 days. New totals are archived weekly for up to 52 completed weeks. Basic page-request counts use no visitor identifiers regardless of your choice. After No, sharing just your visitor region is separately optional.

No is absolutely fine. You can still use the website.

Would you share just your region?

Statistics are off. If you wish, tell us which part of the world you are in. This is your location, not the news regions you follow.
