OVALNEWS (“we”, “us”) operates www.ovalnews.com, including all related information, content and features (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose your personal information when you visit or use the Services or otherwise communicate with us.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use and disclosure of your information as described in it.
Personal Information We Collect or Process
When we use the term “personal information,” we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. It does not include information collected anonymously or de-identified so that it cannot be linked to you. Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:
- Communications with us, including your name, email address and anything you include in a message sent through our contact form.
- Device information, including information about your device, browser or network connection, your IP address and other unique identifiers.
- Usage information, including how and when you visit and move around the Services.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you first visit, a banner asks you to Accept or Decline cookies. Your choice is saved in a cookie named ovalnews_consent for one year. You can change it at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
- Google Analytics measures how visitors use the site. It loads only after you click Accept.
- Google AdSense shows ads on our Range Rover Dimensions pages. It loads only after you click Accept. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage this at adssettings.google.com.
- YouTube videos in our posts use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which doesn’t set cookies until you play a video.
- Jetpack Stats (by Automattic) counts page views to help us understand which posts are read.
If you decline, Google Analytics and Google AdSense do not load.
How We Use Your Personal Information
- Provide and improve the Services: to run the site, understand which content is useful, and fix problems.
- Advertising: to show ads on certain pages (Google AdSense, after Accept) and our own house ads for ROVERHAUL products.
- Communicating with you: to reply to messages you send us.
- Security and fraud prevention: to detect, investigate or act on fraudulent, illegal or malicious activity and to protect the Services.
- Legal reasons: to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, and to enforce our terms or policies.
How We Disclose Personal Information
- With service providers who run parts of the Services for us:
- our web host
- Google (Analytics and AdSense)
- Automattic (Jetpack)
- FormMail, which delivers messages from our contact form
- To comply with legal obligations, in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, or to protect the Services, our rights and the rights of others.
We do not sell your personal information.
Third Party Websites and Links
The Services link to websites operated by others, including our sister shop, ROVERHAUL (shop.roverhaul.com). Links to the ROVERHAUL shop include a tag showing that you came from OVALNEWS. If you follow a link to another site, review its own privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of those sites.
Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has given us their personal information, contact us to have it deleted.
Security and Retention of Your Information
No security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Information you send to us may not be secure while in transit, so please don’t send sensitive or confidential information through our contact form. We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of these rights:
- Access: request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Delete: request that we delete personal information we hold about you.
- Correct: request that we correct inaccurate personal information.

- Opt out of advertising cookies: decline cookies on the banner, or change your choice with “Cookie settings”.
If you live in the UK or European Economic Area, you may also object to or restrict our processing, and withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, and we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Complaints
If you have a complaint about how we process your personal information, contact us. Depending on where you live, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
International Transfers
We and our service providers may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country you live in, including in the United States. Where we transfer personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
