This policy explains what information Middle East Post (Ortadoğu Postası) handles when you use our app and website. In short: the app needs no account, shows no ads and contains no analytics or tracking tools.
The app
The Middle East Post app does not require registration. It contains no advertising, analytics or tracking software. The stories you save, your text size, your language choice and your notification preference are stored only on your device; when you delete the app, this information is deleted with it. The app connects only to the ortadogupostasi.com server.
Notifications: If you allow notifications, the notification token that Apple issues to your device is stored on our server together with your chosen language, so that we can send you news alerts in that language. This token does not reveal your identity and is not matched with any other information. When you turn notifications off in the app’s Notifications setting or in your iPhone or iPad settings, the token is deleted.
Comments: A comment you write in the app, and the name you may optionally enter, are published publicly under the story. No e-mail address is requested. Your IP address is not stored; only an irreversible, shortened hash of it is used for rate limiting and for handling reports. You can ask for your comment to be removed through our Contact page.
The website

When you visit the site, standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view may be processed, and cookies together with Google Analytics are used to measure site traffic.
