Your information stays yours.

Effective July 21, 2026

Information we collect

When you subscribe, Genuine Update collects the email address or mobile number you provide, your selected delivery channels, subscription status, and delivery records. We also collect limited, privacy-conscious site analytics such as page views and approximate city, region, and country.

How we use it

We use this information to deliver requested news briefings and alerts, confirm or manage subscriptions, respond to support requests, protect the service, measure readership in aggregate, and comply with applicable law.

Mobile information

We do not sell or share mobile numbers, SMS opt-in data, or consent records with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide information to service providers that process messages on our behalf, solely to operate the requested service, or when required by law.

Message frequency and charges

SMS message frequency varies based on significant news and subscription activity. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier and plan.

Your choices

Reply STOP to any Genuine Update text to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance. Email subscribers may use the unsubscribe link in any briefing. You may also contact newsroom@genuineupdate.info to request access, correction, or deletion of subscription information.

Retention and security

We retain subscriber information only as long as needed to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent abuse. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date above will be revised when material changes are published.
