Chattalchitra (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Chattalchitra.com. This page explains what information we collect from visitors, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly. If you contact us, comment on an article, subscribe to a newsletter, or submit a news tip, we collect whatever you provide — your name, phone number, email address, or the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we gather some technical data whenever you visit: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and how long you stay on each page. This comes through standard web server logs and, where used, analytics tools and cookies.
Cookies. We use cookies to keep the site running smoothly — remembering your preferences, understanding which articles get read, and, if applicable, serving relevant ads. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Publish and improve our news coverage and site content
- Respond to messages, tips, and inquiries
- Understand which stories and topics readers are interested in
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the site
- Communicate with subscribers, if you’ve opted into a newsletter or updates
- Meet legal obligations under Bangladeshi law
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Sharing of Information
We may share information in limited circumstances:
- With service providers who help us run the site (hosting, analytics, email delivery), bound by their own confidentiality obligations
- If required by law, court order, or government request
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of Chattalchitra, our readers, or the public
- With your consent, in any other case
News Tips and Sources
If you submit a tip or contact us as a source, we handle that information with discretion. We won’t publish your identity without your permission unless we’re legally compelled to disclose it.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the data we hold. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law, after which it’s deleted or anonymized.
Children’s Privacy
Chattalchitra.com is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your Rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below. We’ll respond within a reasonable time.
