Privacy Policy, Cookie Notice and Terms of Use

1. Who operates this website

Orgullo Dominicano is a digital news outlet operated from the Dominican Republic. For questions about privacy, cookies, copyright, corrections, or website use, email [email protected].

This policy applies to the website. Mobile applications, external platforms, and linked services may provide separate notices.

2. Information that may be processed

  • Technical and security data: IP address, access time, requested URL, browser, operating system, language, technical identifiers, and logs needed to deliver and protect the website.
  • Usage and advertising data: page views, interactions with content or ads, approximate visit origin, and aggregated measurements through Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense when consent settings and applicable law allow them.
  • Comments: name or alias, email address, comment, IP address, and technical data used by WordPress for moderation and abuse prevention. The email address is not public by default; an approved name or alias and comment may be public.
  • Notifications: if you opt in, OneSignal may process a subscription identifier, browser or device information, time zone, language, IP address, and notification delivery or interaction data.
  • Communications: your name, email address, message, and documents you send to the outlet.
  • Preferences: language, consent choices, and other settings needed to remember how you wish to use the website.

The website currently has no public account registration or e-commerce service. This policy must be updated before those functions process new categories of information.

3. Why information is used

  • To provide pages, audio, translations, and requested features.
  • To secure the website, investigate abuse, fix errors, and maintain security logs.
  • To moderate comments and respond to messages, corrections, or claims.
  • To measure use and improve content, performance, and accessibility.
  • To deliver and measure advertising where a valid legal basis exists.
  • To send notifications after an opt-in and allow users to disable them.
  • To comply with legal duties and valid requests from competent authorities.

4. Legal grounds

Depending on the jurisdiction and data involved, processing may rely on consent, delivery of a requested feature, legitimate interests in operating and securing the outlet, responsible news activity, or a legal obligation. When applicable law requires consent for non-essential technology, it should be activated only after the user accepts it.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses a consent manager to organize technology by purpose: necessary functions, preferences, statistics, marketing, and voluntary notifications. You may accept, reject, or change non-essential categories through the website’s consent notice or management link. You may also delete cookies in your browser. Rejecting optional technology should not prevent access to news content, although some preferences may no longer be remembered.

6. Service providers

Providers may process data in the United States or other countries. Location and safeguards depend on the provider, configuration, and applicable law.

7. Retention and security

Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Reasonable safeguards include HTTPS, access controls, backups, and network protection. No Internet system can guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights and choices

Dominican Republic Law No. 172-13 recognizes rights that include access, updating, correction, and deletion where applicable. Other jurisdictions may provide additional rights. Email [email protected] with your request and your interaction with the website. Reasonable identity verification may be required.

9. Children

This general-audience website is not designed to request personal information from children under 13. U.S. COPPA rules may apply to services directed to children under 13 or operators with actual knowledge that they collect a child’s information. Contact the outlet if you believe a child submitted personal information. Do not place identifying information about children in comments.

10. Terms of Use

You may access the website for personal and informational purposes. You may not attack the website, evade access controls, make abusive automated requests, impersonate others, harass or defame people, disclose private data, or distribute unlawful material.

News content may be updated as facts develop and is not legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Opinions identified as such belong to their authors.

Texts, photographs, illustrations, audio, video, trademarks, code, and design belong to their respective owners. Sharing links and short attributed quotations may be permitted by law; substantial reproduction, systematic republication, or commercial exploitation requires authorization or a valid legal exception.

If you believe your copyrighted work appears without authorization, email the exact URL, identification of the work, an explanation of your rights, contact details, and a good-faith statement to [email protected]. This address is not represented as a registered U.S. DMCA agent unless a current designation exists with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Users retain any rights they hold in submitted comments but authorize the outlet to host, display, and moderate them. Do not submit material you have no right to share.

The outlet seeks accuracy and availability but does not promise uninterrupted operation or an error-free service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or removes mandatory consumer rights.

11. Corrections, reply, and complaints

To request a correction, provide evidence, seek a reply, or report a privacy concern, identify the URL, exact passage, reason, and supporting records. Requests are reviewed under the outlet’s Editorial Guidelines, Quality Standards and Ethics.
