Privacy Policy

Effective October 31, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how This Just In News, Inc. ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal information through our mobile application This Just In.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal and technical information to provide a secure and customized experience:

• Account Information: Your email address and optionally a username. We use third-party authentication (e.g., Supabase Auth) and do not store passwords.

• Usage Data: Actions you take within the app, such as videos watched, trust/distrust interactions, comments posted.

• Device Data: Device model, OS version, app version, crash reports, and performance diagnostics.

• Identifiers: Device-specific IDs (such as IDFA for iOS and GAID for Android) used for basic analytics and limited advertising purposes.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., payment info, biometric data, or government ID) unless specifically required and disclosed.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to:

• Operate and improve the platform

• Moderate content and ensure community guideline compliance

• Personalize content recommendations and user experience

• Analyze aggregated usage trends

• Communicate important updates, program notifications, or legal notices

We do not use your data to make automated decisions that produce legal or significant effects without human involvement.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with trusted third-party vendors or service providers who assist with core functionality (e.g., authentication, analytics, infrastructure) under strict confidentiality agreements.

Examples of such providers may include:

• Supabase (for authentication and backend infrastructure)

• Firebase (for analytics and crash reporting)

• Hosting or cloud storage providers (e.g., Render, Vercel, AWS)

These third parties may only process your data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

4. App Tracking and Analytics

We use software development kits (SDKs) and device-based tracking for the following:

• Understanding user interaction with videos, comments, and rating features

• Tracking crashes, bugs, and performance issues

• Aggregating data to evaluate feature effectiveness

Your Control Options:

• iOS Users: You can limit tracking via Settings > Privacy > Tracking.

• Android Users: Go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization.

• You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting support@thisjustin.live.

• Uninstalling the app deletes locally stored data on your device.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. This includes encryption, access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure.

However, no system is completely secure. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and activity on their account.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you

• Request correction or deletion of inaccurate or outdated data

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will delete it promptly.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Data may be retained for technical backups for up to 90 days after deletion before being fully purged.

9. International Users

Our servers are currently located in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States and other jurisdictions.

DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy

This Just In News, Inc. (“TJI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our services to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Pursuant to the DMCA, TJI has designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of alleged copyright infringement.

Designated Agent:
Copyright Manager

support@thisjustin.live

Address: 39 Lispenard St, 4th Floor, New York, NY, 10013

You may also contact us through any method listed on our website, but DMCA notices must be sent to the Designated Agent above to be effective.

(When you register with the U.S. Copyright Office, make sure the same agent info is used there.)

2. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that material available on or through the Services infringes your copyright, you may send our Designated Agent a written DMCA notice that includes all of the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed copyright.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.

3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on the Services (for example, a URL or in-app link, channel/creator name, and, if possible, timestamp).

4. Contact information for the complaining party, such as a name, address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
   
   

We may be unable to respond if your notice does not include all required information.

Upon receipt of a proper DMCA notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted it.

3. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you posted or uploaded was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send our Designated Agent a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled (for example, URL, in-app link, channel/creator name, and timestamp if applicable).

3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which This Just In may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may forward a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party and inform them that we may restore the removed content in 10–14 business days, unless our Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our Services.

We may, but are not obligated to, restore the content in our sole discretion.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, it is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

A “repeat infringer” is typically a user who has received multiple valid DMCA notices regarding content they have uploaded or posted on the Services. We may also terminate accounts of users who repeatedly violate others’ intellectual property rights even if such violations do not result in formal DMCA notices.

We reserve the right to:

• Remove or disable access to any content alleged to be infringing, at any time and in our sole discretion.

• Terminate any user’s account for a single instance of willful infringement or in response to a court order or settlement agreement.

5. Misrepresentations

Under the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Before submitting a notice or counter-notice, you may wish to consult with legal counsel.
