BIZBANGLA MEDIA LIMITED (“Bonik Barta,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Bonik Barta mobile application for Android and iOS devices (“App”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the App.
The App does not require users to create an account, purchase a subscription, or provide personal information to read news and other publicly available content.
We do not directly request, collect, or store personal information such as:
The App is available free of charge, and we do not collect payment information through the App.
Although we do not directly collect personal information, limited technical information may be automatically processed by operating systems, app stores, hosting providers, content-delivery services, security services, or other technology providers necessary for operating the App.
Such information may include:
Any such information is processed according to the applicable service provider’s privacy policy and is used only where necessary to provide, secure, maintain, or improve the App.
The App does not request access to sensitive device features unless such access is necessary for a clearly stated function.
Where permission is requested, users may allow or refuse it through their device settings. Refusing an optional permission may prevent the related feature from functioning but will not prevent access to ordinary news content.
The App may display content, advertisements, embedded media, or links provided by third-party websites or services. These third parties may independently collect or process information according to their own privacy policies.
When you open an external website or third-party service, its privacy policy and terms apply. Bonik Barta does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites. However, any third-party service directly integrated into the App will be reviewed and disclosed as required by applicable platform policies and laws.
Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.
The App may display advertisements to support the free availability of its content. Advertising providers may automatically process limited technical information, such as an IP address, device information, advertising identifier, or general usage information, subject to device settings and applicable consent requirements.
Bonik Barta does not directly receive or store users’ payment-card or financial information through advertisements.
The App may offer optional news notifications. Users may enable or disable notifications at any time through their Android or iOS device settings.
A device notification token may be processed by the relevant notification service solely to deliver notifications. It is not used by us to directly identify the user.
We do not sell or rent users’ personal information.
Limited technical information may be processed or shared only where reasonably necessary to:
Because we do not directly collect or maintain user accounts or personal profiles through the App, we generally do not retain personal user data that can be deleted upon request.
Technical information processed by third-party service providers may be retained according to their respective privacy policies and legal obligations.
Where a user voluntarily contacts us by email, we may retain the communication only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal requirements. Users may request deletion of such communications by contacting us.
The App provides general news and informational content and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13 or the minimum legal age applicable in their country.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the App and any information processed in connection with it. However, no electronic transmission, mobile application, or internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Technical service providers may process information on servers located outside the user’s country. Where applicable, such processing will be subject to appropriate contractual, legal, and security protections.
Depending on applicable law, users may have rights concerning access, correction, restriction, objection, or deletion of personal information.
Users can also manage app permissions, advertising identifiers, notification preferences, and privacy settings directly through their Android or iOS device settings.
Privacy-related requests may be submitted using the contact information provided below.
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, applicable laws, or platform requirements change. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
Continued use of the App after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.
