Privacy Policy
Scope of this policy
This page explains how لمحة (lamhanews.blog) handles your personal data when you visit the site, subscribe to the newsletter, or contact us.
Information we collect
Your email address if you subscribe to the daily newsletter. Your name, email, and message if you contact us through the "Contact us" page. Your IP address and visit time, collected automatically (for security purposes such as preventing repeated login attempts on the dashboard and preventing spam through the contact form). General, non-identifying usage data via Google Analytics (pages viewed, time on site, device type).
Cookies
We use one simple cookie to remember your language preference (Arabic/English) and a session cookie for dashboard login (site owner only). In addition, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and we may show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partner DoubleClick DART use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and others; you can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's ad settings page: ads.google.com/settings.
How we use your information
To send the daily newsletter to subscribers based on their preferences. To respond to contact messages. To protect the site from abuse (repeated login attempts, spam). To understand and improve site performance through aggregated, non-identifying statistics.
Third-party services we rely on
Anthropic (Claude): we send each story's title and summary to Anthropic's AI service for summarization — no visitor personal data is sent to this service. Unsplash: the source of the licensed images used in articles. Google Analytics and Google AdSense: traffic statistics and advertising. Our hosting and mail provider, used to send the newsletter and replies.
Content and intellectual property
لمحة summaries are generated automatically by AI based on news from trusted external sources, always with a direct link to the original story. لمحة does not claim ownership of any original news content — full rights remain with the original sources. Images are sourced from Unsplash under a free license, with photographer credit.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link at the bottom of every email. You can request deletion of your data (your email or message) by contacting us directly.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the legal age, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

We may update this page from time to time. Any material change will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
