Browser and device type.
Operating system.
Date and time of access.
Pages visited and referring address.
Technical information needed to maintain website security and functionality.
The actual collection of such information depends on the features and services enabled.

Where applicable, the tools used and their privacy conditions should be disclosed.

Respond to enquiries and messages.

Maintain the operation, availability and security of the website.
Detect technical errors, abusive access and potentially fraudulent activity.

6. LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Personal data will be processed on an appropriate lawful basis, taking account of the purpose and circumstances of each case.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include the individual's consent, the need to respond to a request, compliance with legal obligations or another basis permitted by applicable law.
Where consent is required, it should be obtained validly and with sufficient information about the purpose of processing.
Sending a message to FOSTER! NEWS does not automatically authorise the use of contact details for marketing campaigns or communications unrelated to the original enquiry.
7. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies are small files or identifiers that a website may store in a visitor's browser or device. They may be used to support website functions, remember preferences, improve browsing experiences or collect statistical information.
The FOSTER! NEWS website may use cookies or similar technologies provided by the hosting platform or other services, depending on the configuration actually enabled.
These technologies may include:
Strictly necessary cookies: required for certain website functions.
Preference cookies: used to remember browsing choices.
Analytics cookies: used to measure website usage and performance, if enabled.
Advertising or tracking cookies: only if tools using these technologies are integrated.
The presence, purpose, duration and provider of cookies depend on the services implemented.
Where required by applicable law, additional information will be provided and consent will be obtained before non-essential technologies are activated.
Users can manage cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functions.
For further information, please consult our Cookie Policy.
8. THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS AND SERVICES
FOSTER! NEWS may rely on providers of website hosting, maintenance, security, email, analytics and other technological services.
These providers may process certain data to the extent necessary to deliver their services, subject to the relevant terms and conditions.
Where appropriate, contractual and technical safeguards should be adopted to protect personal information.
Third-party services may operate under their own privacy policies. FOSTER! NEWS does not have complete control over the privacy practices of external platforms.
Before additional tools are integrated, their terms, data collection practices and available privacy safeguards should be reviewed.
9. SOCIAL MEDIA AND EXTERNAL LINKS
FOSTER! NEWS may provide links to social media platforms, news sources, institutions, documents, publications and other external websites.
Visiting these links may result in data being processed by the relevant operators. Once users access an external platform, its own terms and privacy policies apply.
The presence of a link does not necessarily imply institutional endorsement, a commercial partnership or editorial control over the external content.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of each service before providing personal information.
10. DISCLOSURE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA
FOSTER! NEWS will not sell or rent users' personal data.
Information may be disclosed to third parties only where necessary to provide a requested service, comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate rights or meet other circumstances permitted by applicable law.
Where a service provider needs access to personal information to perform a task on behalf of the responsible party, appropriate contractual and technical safeguards should be adopted.
Personal data will not be disclosed for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected.
11. DATA RETENTION
Personal data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any applicable legal obligations.
Contact messages may be retained for the time needed to respond, conduct reasonable follow-up or document relevant communications.
Technical records will be retained in accordance with operational requirements, security measures and the conditions of the providers involved.
Once the relevant purpose has been fulfilled, information should be deleted, anonymised or retained only where there is a valid legal justification.
12. INFORMATION SECURITY
FOSTER! NEWS will seek to implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, alteration, unauthorised access, improper disclosure and other risks.
Such measures may include access controls, secure passwords, updates to the services used and protective mechanisms provided by technology suppliers.
No system for transmitting or storing information can guarantee absolute security. It is therefore not possible to guarantee that data will be entirely free from risk.
In the event of a security incident, appropriate measures will be assessed in light of the nature of the incident and any applicable obligations.
13. INDIVIDUALS' DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Individuals may exercise the rights available to them under applicable law, including, where relevant:
Access: requesting information about the personal data being processed.
Rectification: requesting the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Updating: requesting that outdated information be updated.
Erasure: requesting deletion where legally permissible.
Confidentiality: requesting appropriate measures to protect personal information.
Information: enquiring about the purposes of processing and the recipients of data.
To submit a request, users may contact info@fosternews.net, stating which right they wish to exercise and providing information reasonably necessary to identify the request.
We may request proportionate identity verification where necessary to protect personal data and prevent disclosure to an unauthorised person.
Requests will be handled within the time limits and in accordance with the conditions established by applicable law.
In Argentina, Law No. 25,326 provides rights of access, rectification, updating and erasure, subject to the relevant requirements and time limits.
The Argentine data protection supervisory authority is the Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública (AAIP). Official information about rights and procedures is available at:
https://www.argentina.gob.ar/aaip/datospersonales/derechos
14. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
FOSTER! NEWS recognises the importance of protecting children's and young people's privacy.
We do not deliberately request children's personal information for purposes incompatible with applicable law. Where an interaction requires the processing of a minor's personal data, the relevant safeguards and authorisations must be observed.
If anyone believes that a child's personal data has been provided inappropriately, they may contact info@fosternews.net so that the matter can be assessed.
15. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Technology services used by a website may operate in different countries. As a result, certain data may be processed or stored outside the user's country or the country in which the website's responsible party operates.
Where international transfers of personal data take place, the provider's terms must be reviewed and the safeguards required by applicable law must be adopted.
FOSTER! NEWS will seek to ensure that international processing is limited to the purposes disclosed and is subject to appropriate safeguards.
16. JOURNALISM AND INFORMATION SOURCES
FOSTER! NEWS publishes news and current affairs content with the aim of providing clear facts, context and relevant references for readers.
Journalistic activity may involve information obtained from public sources, documents, institutions, interviews and other sources of information.
The processing of information connected with journalistic activity must be assessed in accordance with applicable law, respecting individuals' rights and the relevant protections for freedom of expression and journalism.
This policy is not intended to restrict the lawful publication of journalistic information and does not replace any specific rules applicable to source protection or the exercise of freedom of expression.
17. COMMUNICATIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
If FOSTER! NEWS introduces subscription forms, newsletters or other recurring communication services, the relevant conditions will be disclosed and consent will be obtained where required.
Information collected for these purposes must not be used in ways incompatible with the information provided to the user.
Where an unsubscribe option is available, a reasonable method of stopping further communications will be provided.
This section applies to subscription services that are actually available.
18. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
FOSTER! NEWS may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, operational or editorial changes.
The current version will be available on this page and will state the date of its most recent update.
Where a change significantly affects data processing and applicable law requires it, appropriate information or consent measures will be implemented.
