Privacy Policy

Adnovation Technologies LLC operates Go Big News and is responsible for the information described in this policy.

Reading requires no account. We measure readership using Proferex, served through our first-party analytics domain. It records pages viewed, referrer, country, device information, visits, and privacy-preserving unique visitors using pseudonymous identifiers. Public article readership and Most Read rankings use Proferex page-view counts. We do not use this data to identify readers by name or track them across unrelated websites.

Accounts store your email address and your role on company or profile teams. Company and Profile Newsyou publish is public by design. Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We keep a record of what was bought, when, and for which company or public X profile. Public X profile listings store the public handle, paid ranking total, and moderation history. A payer does not need to own or represent the listed profile. Newsletter signups store your email after you confirm through the double opt-in message. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

X profile claims store the X account's public ID, handle, display name, biography, profile image URL, the Go Big News account that claimed it, and the verification time. We use the X access token only to read the connected account during verification; we do not retain that token.

Signed-in users receive authentication session cookies. Proferex uses first-party visitor and session identifiers, stored in cookies and local storage, to measure unique readers, visits, and attribution. Ahrefs Web Analytics is configured without cookies. We currently set no third-party advertising cookies.

To operate the publication: rendering pages, computing rankings and Most Read, processing promotion purchases, preventing fraud and metric manipulation, sending the newsletter you subscribed to, and responding to support requests. We do not sell personal information.

We rely on a small set of service providers: Supabase (database, authentication, and account data), Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (content delivery and media storage), X (optional public-account verification), and Proferex (readership analytics, attribution, and newsletter subscriptions). Google Tag Manager delivers approved measurement tags on public, non-search pages; the additional measurement tag currently enabled is Ahrefs Web Analytics. Each provider processes data to provide its service to us.

Published journalism remains published (with corrections where warranted); account and analytics data are kept only as long as needed to operate the service and meet legal obligations. You can request access to or deletion of your personal data, unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, and close your account by contacting support@gobignews.com. Deletion requests do not extend to published articles, which are part of the public record of the publication.

A person whose public X profile appears in the Founder leaderboard may request correction or removal by contacting us. We review those listing requests separately from published journalism.
