Government agencies;
News organizations;
Social-media platforms;

Payments for advertising, subscriptions, sponsorships, or other services may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

Payment processors may collect information including:

Cardholder name;
Billing address;

Hayom Media USA generally receives transaction confirmation and related business records rather than complete payment-card credentials when a third-party processor handles the transaction.

The payment provider’s privacy policy and terms may separately apply.

29. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY SIGNALS

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” signals or other privacy preference technologies.

Because technical standards and legal requirements vary, Texas Hayom may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid opt-out preference mechanism, Hayom Media USA will honor such signals to the extent required by law and technically feasible.

You may also use the privacy choices identified in this Policy.

Audience measurement;
Website analysis;
Advertising statistics;
Business planning;
Research;
Reporting;
Security; and
Website improvement.

Where required by law, Hayom Media USA will take reasonable measures to maintain deidentified information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify it except as permitted by law.

News reporting;
Editorial activities;
Published articles;
Archives;
Public records;
Investigative materials;
Legal disputes;
Evidence;

Hayom Media USA may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When material changes are made, we may provide notice by:

37. NO CONTRACTUAL GUARANTEE OF SECURITY

This Privacy Policy describes Hayom Media USA’s privacy practices and is not a guarantee that unauthorized persons will never defeat security measures.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy creates rights beyond those provided by applicable law or a separate written agreement, and nothing limits rights that applicable law makes non-waivable.

38. GOVERNING PRIVACY LAW

Hayom Media USA will process personal information in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws.

For Texas residents, applicable laws may include the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and other Texas privacy and data-security laws where their requirements apply.

Federal laws may also apply depending upon the nature of particular information or services.

Where applicable law requires affirmative consent rather than notice or acknowledgment, Hayom Media USA will seek that consent separately.
