Privacy Policy & Disclaimer
Last updated: June 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to infoMoris ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website at infomoris.com and our Android application (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
Account information. If you create an account we collect your email address, display name, and profile picture via Google Sign-In or email/password registration (powered by Firebase Authentication).
User-generated content. Comments, reactions, and any content you submit are stored on our servers and associated with your account.
Usage data. We may collect anonymous analytics such as page views, referral sources, device type, and browser information to improve the Service.
Local storage. We use your browser's local storage (IndexedDB / localStorage) to cache articles, preferences (language, font size, theme), and session tokens. This data stays on your device.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To authenticate your identity and secure your account.
- To display personalised content and preferences.
- To communicate with you (e.g. account verification emails).
- To enforce our Terms & Conditions and prevent abuse.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We do not use traditional tracking cookies for advertising. The Service uses:
- Cloudflare Turnstile — a privacy-friendly CAPTCHA alternative used to protect forms from automated abuse. Turnstile may set functional cookies required for bot detection.
- Firebase Authentication tokens — stored in local storage to keep you signed in.
- Cloudflare performance & security cookies — set automatically by our CDN to protect the Service from malicious traffic.
5. Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third-party providers, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google Firebase — authentication and user management.
- Cloudflare — CDN, DNS, security, and Turnstile CAPTCHA.
- Google Ads — we may display advertisements; Google may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads.
6. Content Disclaimer
infoMoris aggregates news articles from publicly available RSS feeds of Mauritian media outlets. We do not author, verify, or endorse any third-party content. All copyrights belong to their respective owners. If you believe any content infringes your rights, please contact us and we will promptly address it.
External links within articles may lead to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
Cached articles on your device are retained according to your chosen preference (6 months, 2 years, or 5 years) and can be cleared at any time from Settings. Server-side account data (profile, comments, reactions) is retained until you delete your account.
You may delete your account from the Settings menu, which permanently removes all associated data from our servers.
8. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, Cloudflare WAF protection, Firebase JWT-based authentication, and server-side input validation. However, no system is perfectly secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
