Privacy Policy

At The Bruneian (operated by Darussalam Media Sdn Bhd), we are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you access our services, including via our website (thebruneian.news), mobile applications, or any other platform under our brand.

1. Information We Collect

Since we do not require user sign-ups or account creation, we do not collect personally identifiable information (such as names, email addresses, or passwords) from visitors accessing The Bruneian Site.

However, like many websites, we may collect limited non-personal information to help us improve our service:

Automatically Collected Information:

• Device type and browser used to access our site

• IP address and general geographic location

• Pages visited, time spent, and interaction behavior

• Referring site (if you were directed to our site via another source)

This information is collected via cookies, analytics tools, and server logs.

2. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Improve user experience

• Understand how users interact with our content

• Deliver relevant advertisements through third-party partners

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of the site.

3. Third-Party Services

Our site may use or link to third-party services, such as:

• Advertising networks that may collect data for targeting ads

• Social media plugins

• Embedded content from other platforms (e.g., YouTube videos)

These third parties may use tracking technologies independent of our control. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for more information.

4. Advertising

Advertising content on The Bruneian Site is provided by third parties. We do not control the data collection practices of these advertisers. However, to the best of our ability, we only partner with reputable advertising networks that follow standard privacy and data practices.

If you click on an advertisement, you may be taken to a third-party website, where different privacy policies will apply.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to others. We may share anonymized, non-personally identifiable information with service providers or partners to help us operate or analyze performance.

6. Data Security

We implement standard security measures to protect the integrity of our site and prevent unauthorized access. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Bruneian Site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If we become aware of such data being collected, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
