About WPF News

World Press Freedom is a non-profit advocacy platform.

Our mission is to promote open access to information and support independent journalism, ensuring that the public’s right to know is protected without bias or financial influence.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit wpfnews.co.uk, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including details such as your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device.
As you browse the site, we also collect information about the individual web pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our site, and how you interact with it.
We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

Additionally, we may collect personal data that you voluntarily provide (such as your name, address, or email address) when filling in forms, subscribing to our newsletter, or contacting us directly.

Why We Process Your Data

Our top priority is data security. We only process minimal user data — strictly what is necessary to maintain and improve the website.
Information collected automatically is used solely to identify potential cases of abuse and to compile statistical information about site usage. These statistics are not used to identify individual users.

You can browse the website without revealing any personal information. However, if you wish to use certain features — such as receiving newsletters or submitting forms — you may be asked to provide personal data (e.g., your name, email address, or organization).
Providing such data is always voluntary, though declining may limit your access to certain features.

If you are unsure which details are required, you may contact us at contact@wpfnews.co.uk for clarification.
