At NewsQuest Media Group, we are committed to providing quality journalism while respecting your privacy and adhering to data protection laws.
We have implemented a “consent or payment” model to ensure compliance with UK GDPR regulations and new guidelines released by the Information Commission on Audiences' Privacy Rights (ICO).
UK GDPR regulations state that they have the right to know how data is being used and require clear permission to use the data, including for the purposes of personalized advertising.
Personalized ads are places where ads are displayed based on interests, preferences, or online behavior.
Data such as browsing history is used to make the advertising experience more relevant.
The “consent or payment” approach allows you to clearly choose and control how your data is used, while providing an alternative to accessing content without consenting to data tracking.
I named this alternative privacy+.
The “consent or payment” model offers several advantages.
– User selection permissions: Provide stronger control over data. You can either agree to data tracking or choose an alternative to payment to access content.
· Strengthen privacy protection: Conforms to privacy regulations such as the UK GDPR to ensure that personal data is responsible and transparently processed.
– Access Flexibility: If you don't want to share your data, you can enjoy your content by selecting the Privacy+ option to promote inclusiveness. You will still see ads, but will not be targeted based on your personal information.
• Compliance Guarantee: This model helps demonstrate accountability and data protection law compliance and increase trust with your audience.
