Privacy Policy Scope & Data Use
Your privacy is fundamental to our mission of independent journalism. We collect essential data to sustain our member-based news platform and protect our community.
This privacy policy outlines how we handle personal information for our investigative reporting and member services. As a platform dedicated to social justice, we ensure that data collection is minimized to what is strictly necessary for providing public interest journalism, managing memberships, and ensuring site security.
Our data practices comply with international protection standards, ensuring that survivor stories and sensitive contributor information remain protected through robust editorial and technical safeguards. By being a member-based site, we rely on direct engagement, which requires transparent management of member credentials and preferences.
Information Collection
We collect personal information that you provide to us when you register as a member, sign up for our newsletter, or participate in our investigations. This may include your name, email address, and any correspondence. This data is handled with the highest level of confidentiality and editorial integrity.
When you browse our platform, we automatically collect certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and engagement metrics. We use this information to maintain security and improve the accessibility of our human rights reporting.
For our dedicated members and supporters, we collect billing information and donation history to process contributions securely. We do not store full credit card details on our servers; all payment transactions are handled by verified, secure third-party payment processors who adhere to global security standards.

Data Protection and Sharing
Securing member information is central to our operational integrity at Voiced. We implement rigorous technical and organisational measures to safeguard your data against unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration within our news and media operations.
We do not sell personal data to third-party advertisers. Information sharing occurs strictly within limited newsroom contexts, such as when verified sources require secure communication channels, or when collaborating with trusted investigative partners under strict non-disclosure agreements to ensure public interest journalism remains independent and protected.
All data processing complies with applicable privacy laws, ensuring that members retain control over their digital footprint while supporting the vital work of human rights reporting. Our security protocols are reviewed biannually to adapt to emerging digital threats and to maintain the highest standard of source and member confidentiality.
