Overview

Gloom & Bloom is a news platform. We do not require account creation, do not collect personal information beyond standard web analytics, and do not sell or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data We Collect

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This collects standard, anonymized usage data including:

  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Approximate geographic region (country/city level)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • Referral source (how you found us)

Google Analytics does not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information. Data is processed by Google under their own privacy policy.

Search (Algolia)

Our search functionality is powered by Algolia. When you use the search feature, your search queries are sent to Algolia's servers to return results. Algolia may log search queries for analytics and service improvement. No personal data is attached to these queries.

Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies:

AI-Generated Content

Every story published on Gloom & Bloom is original content created by AI language models based on analysis of multiple verified news sources. We do not republish existing articles. Our AI synthesizes information to create new reporting with unique perspectives on current events.

While we strive for accuracy and always link to source material, AI-generated content may contain errors or reflect biases present in training data. Readers should verify important claims through linked sources.

These links are only included when a product is directly relevant to the article content. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial coverage or article selection.

Data Retention

We do not maintain user accounts or store personal data. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention policies (14 months by default). Server logs maintained by our hosting provider are retained per their standard policies.
