Labari Media ("we", "our", or "us") operates the websites labarijournal.com, techlabari.com, labaridata.com, and labarimedia.com (collectively, "our Sites"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you use our Sites and services. By using our Sites, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you subscribe to a newsletter, submit a contact form, or register for an account.
- Usage data — including pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, and device information, collected automatically when you visit our Sites.
- Cookies and tracking technologies — we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how our Sites are used.
- Communications — if you contact us by email, we retain those communications to respond to your inquiry and improve our services.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver and improve our journalism, products, and services

3. Cookies
Our Sites use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences, analyse traffic, and improve functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our Sites.
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies to help us understand how readers use our Sites. These providers operate under their own privacy policies.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers — trusted third parties who assist in operating our Sites (hosting, email delivery, analytics), bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Legal obligations — where required by law, regulation, or a valid legal process.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing

- Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hi@labarimedia.com.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Third-Party Links
Our Sites may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Sites are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
