Information automatically collected
When you visit the Site, we and our third-party partners (described below) automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. This information does not, by itself, reveal your name or contact details. It is used to operate the Site securely, understand how content is read, and support advertising.
Advertising and analytics partners
CheckDeezOut is supported by advertising. We currently use the following third-party services to measure traffic and (once approved) serve ads:
- Google Analytics (GA4) — helps us understand aggregate traffic and readership patterns. Learn more or opt out at Google's Privacy & Terms.
- Google AdSense — our advertising partner. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve interest-based advertising and measure ad performance. We do not control these third parties' own data practices; please review their respective privacy policies for details. If we add or change ad-technology partners (for example, an ad-management platform), we will update this section to name them.
Sale of Business
If CheckDeezOut is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information we hold may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify readers of any such change and any choices available to them.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Ghana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where local mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection law (such as the GDPR or CCPA, described below) requires otherwise for readers located in those jurisdictions.
By using CheckDeezOut or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. Continued use of the Site following any posted updates means you accept those changes.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles link to third-party news sources and other websites for attribution and further reading. This Privacy Policy applies only to CheckDeezOut. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of linked third-party sites; please review their own privacy policies before providing any information to them.
Cookies
CheckDeezOut uses cookies to operate the Site, remember basic preferences, support analytics, and (once ads are live) enable advertising as described above. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and where required by law (for example, for readers in the EEA or UK) we display a consent mechanism before non-essential cookies are set. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.
Kids' Privacy
CheckDeezOut is a general-audience news site and is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us at info@checkdeezout.com so we can promptly delete it.
Changes To Our Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, you have certain rights under the GDPR regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your data, and the right to data portability. Because CheckDeezOut does not require account registration and collects only limited automated technical data plus advertising cookies (as described above), most of this data is not directly identifiable to you. Where we do process personal data, we do so on the basis of legitimate interest (operating and securing the Site) or your consent (for non-essential advertising cookies). To exercise your rights, contact us at info@checkdeezout.com.
California Residents (CCPA / CalOPPA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) give you the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and how it's used, the right to request deletion of information we've collected about you, and the right to equal service regardless of whether you exercise your privacy rights. CheckDeezOut does not sell personal information. Advertising cookies described above may be considered a "share" of information with our ad partners for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes; you can limit this by using your browser's tracking-protection settings. To make a request, contact us at info@checkdeezout.com — we will respond within the time required by law.
