Site information
Privacy
You can read grouped.news without creating an account. This page describes the services and browser storage used by the site.
Accounts and site access
Clerk provides sign-in and account management. If you create an account, Clerk processes the email address and account details you provide, including information shared by a sign-in provider you choose. Clerk uses cookies and related browser storage for authentication and security. See Clerk's privacy notice.
Requests to this site and its service providers include connection information such as your IP address and browser information. Authentication services can receive requests even when you have not signed in.
Preferences on your device
The site saves your theme and local/UTC clock preference in browser local storage. These stored values remain until cleared or replaced; you can remove them through your browser's site-data settings. Clearing site data resets preferences and may sign you out.
External services and links
Publisher logos on story pages are fetched by our server from Google's favicon service and served from grouped.news, so your browser does not contact Google for them. Where externally hosted images are displayed, your browser contacts the image host. Those requests disclose connection information to the provider. See Google's privacy policy.
Publisher, camera, social and donation links take you to other websites, whose privacy practices apply when you visit them. Camera links open on YouTube rather than loading a video player here. Donations are handled on Buy Me a Coffee; grouped.news does not load its donation widget.
Ads are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads, including ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's ad settings. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitor statistics
We count visits with Umami, which we host ourselves. It sets no cookies and does not build a profile of you: it records the page, referring site, rough country, browser and device type, and clicks on a few links such as stories and publishers. We only look at these as totals. Google Analytics is not loaded by this site.
The morning briefing, email and the earlier waitlist
If you sign up for the morning briefing we store your email address, your country edition, the time zone you chose (your browser suggests one; you can change it), and when we last sent you a briefing. We send only after you confirm by clicking the link in the first email. Each country edition is a separate subscription with its own unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops that edition's briefing; your other edition subscriptions stay active. Emails are delivered by Resend. We don't sell or share the list, and a sponsor line in a briefing never receives your address.
The earlier waitlist uses Resend to handle email addresses and send messages. Its registration service uses Google reCAPTCHA to check submissions. Creating a reading account does not subscribe you to that waitlist. Use the unsubscribe link in a waitlist email to stop those messages. See Resend's privacy policy, and Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for reCAPTCHA.
Questions and requests
Email [email protected] for privacy questions or requests concerning your information. Include enough detail to identify the account or request, but do not send passwords or other sensitive credentials. Emailing us shares your address and message with the recipient and the email services involved.
