Data Policy

1. Overview

lite.news is owned and operated by NXT Ltd, a UK-registered company. This Data Policy explains how technical, operational, and usage-related data is handled in connection with the lite.news website and its news feed and syndication services.

This page should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is handled and outlines applicable individual rights.

2. Scope of this policy

This Data Policy applies to:

• Access to the public lite.news website.
• Use of RSS, JSON, and other structured news feeds provided by lite.news.
• Licensed delivery of content to publishers, platforms, and downstream products.

It focuses on technical and operational data generated through access to these services, rather than personal data submitted directly by individuals.

3. Types of data processed

When users or systems access lite.news services, certain technical or usage-related data may be processed as part of normal operation. This may include:

• Technical access data, such as IP address, request timestamps, user agent strings, device or system type, and protocol-level information.
• Usage and delivery data, such as feed requests, response status codes, content identifiers delivered, and aggregate request volumes.
• Basic site interaction data, such as pages accessed and approximate visit duration, collected in aggregated form.
• Cookie or similar data, where required to support essential site functionality or high-level usage analysis.

This data is typically processed in aggregated or pseudonymised form and is not used to identify individual users for profiling or marketing purposes.

4. Purposes of data use

Technical and usage-related data is processed for legitimate operational purposes, which may include:

• Operating, maintaining, and securing the lite.news website and feed infrastructure.
• Ensuring reliable delivery of news feeds and licensed content.
• Monitoring service performance and diagnosing technical issues.
• Applying reasonable rate limits and service protections.
• Understanding aggregate usage patterns to inform service improvements.
• Meeting legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

lite.news does not use technical or usage data to build behavioural profiles, conduct targeted advertising, or track individuals across services.

5. Feed access and licensed services

Where licensed feeds or structured content delivery services are provided, access logs and delivery metrics may be recorded to:

• Verify authorised access under applicable licence terms.
• Support billing, service limits, and operational monitoring.
• Investigate misuse, abuse, or technical faults.

Such data is used solely for service operation and compliance purposes and is not shared for unrelated commercial use.

6. Data sharing and service providers

NXT Ltd may engage third-party service providers, such as hosting, content delivery, analytics, or security services, to support the operation of lite.news.

These providers process data only on our behalf and only for purposes related to operating, maintaining, and securing the service.

lite.news does not sell usage data or share it for behavioural advertising purposes.

7. Security

NXT Ltd applies reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect data processed through lite.news and to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take proportionate steps appropriate to the nature of the services provided.

8. User and customer controls

Website users can control certain data processing through browser settings, such as managing cookies or enabling tracking protection.

Licensed customers may also have contractual controls over feed access, delivery methods, and usage limits as set out in their applicable licence terms.

9. Relationship to the Privacy Policy

This Data Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides more detailed information about personal data handling and individual rights.

10. Changes to this policy

This Data Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the date shown at the top of this page.
