Privacy Policy

Last updated: 01.09.2026

Singai Tamil (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates singaitamil.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using singaitamil.com, you agree to the practices described here.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at editorial@singaitamil.com.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information collected automatically

When you visit singaitamil.com, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including:

• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Your approximate location (city/country level, based on IP address)
• Device, browser type, and operating system
• Referring website or source (e.g., Google Search, social media)

1.2 Information you provide directly

We collect information you choose to give us, such as when you:

• Submit the Contact Us form
• Send a story tip, correction, or feedback via email
• Subscribe to our newsletter (if applicable)

This may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as national ID or passport numbers) through the website.

2. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website — which articles are read, how people navigate the site, and general traffic patterns. This helps us improve our content and site performance.

• Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as pages visited, time on site, and approximate location.
• This data is processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.
• You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Advertising on Singai Tamil

3.1 How we label ads

Any advertisement on singaitamil.com — whether served through Google AdSense or a direct/private advertising arrangement — is clearly marked with an “Ad” label displayed above or alongside the advertisement. We do not present sponsored or promotional content as independent editorial content; see our Editorial Policy for more on this commitment.

3.2 Google AdSense

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to singaitamil.com and other websites, in order to show you more relevant advertising.

• You can view and adjust how Google personalizes ads for you at Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of personalized advertising generally at www.aboutads.info/choices.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

3.3 Private / direct advertising

We may also display advertisements sold directly to advertisers, outside of Google AdSense. These are labelled “Ad” in the same way, and any data collection by a direct advertiser’s own tracking technology (if used) is governed by that advertiser’s own privacy policy, which we will identify where applicable.

4. Social Media Advertising (Meta / Facebook & Instagram)

We may run advertising campaigns on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) to promote our content, drive traffic to singaitamil.com, or grow our social media following.

• These campaigns may use tools such as the Meta Pixel or Conversions API, which can collect information about your interaction with our website (such as pages visited) to help us measure ad performance and show relevant ads to people likely to be interested in Singai Tamil.
• Any data collected through Meta’s advertising tools is handled in accordance with the Meta Privacy Policy.
• You can manage how Meta uses your data for ads through your Facebook Ad Preferences and Instagram settings.

Note: Meta advertising tools are not yet active on singaitamil.com at the time of this policy’s publication and will only be enabled once we launch social media ad campaigns. This policy is written to reflect that upcoming use in advance, so it stays accurate once these campaigns begin.

5. Cookies

Singai Tamil uses cookies for analytics, advertising, and basic website functionality.

6. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

• Understand and improve how our website performs and what content resonates with our readers
• Respond to your inquiries, tips, corrections, and feedback
• Display relevant advertising, in the ways described in Section 3
• Measure and improve the effectiveness of our own promotional campaigns, including on social media
• Comply with legal obligations where applicable

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

7. How Information Is Shared

We share information only with:

• Service providers who help us operate the website (e.g., Google Analytics, our hosting provider), bound by their own privacy and data-handling terms
• Advertising partners (Google AdSense, Meta, and any direct advertisers), as described in Sections 3 and 4
• Legal authorities, where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Singai Tamil, our readers, or the public

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, analytics data is generally retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings, and correspondence you send us (such as corrections or tips) is retained as long as needed to act on it and maintain a record.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to ask what information we hold about you, request correction, or request deletion where applicable. To exercise any of these, contact us at editorial@singaitamil.com.

You can also manage your privacy directly through:

• Your browser’s cookie settings
• Google Analytics Opt-out
• Google Ads Settings
• Facebook Ad Preferences

10. International Data Transfers

Some of the services we use (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Meta) may process data on servers located outside Singapore. These providers maintain their own safeguards for handling data across borders, as described in their respective privacy policies linked above.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, when we launch new features like Meta advertising campaigns. Material changes will be reflected with an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
