Our Commitment to Privacy
We do not sell, rent or trade any personally identifiable information you provide when using the NewsMotion website

specifically request an email response to a customer service inquiry or contact is required in order to protect someone's
safety or to enforce our Terms of Service. You are not required to provide an email address to personalize NewsMotion. When

cookie does not allow us to obtain any personally identifiable information (such as your real name and address) unless you
have specifically provided such information as part of personalizing NewsMotion.
If NewsMotion is ever sold or all
or substantially all of the assets relating to NewsMotion are transferred to another entity, we will transfer the information
you have provided to the acquiring entity in order to ensure continuity of your personalized service. We recognize and welcome
our obligation to comply with the law and this policy is subject to that obligation. We will, therefore, disclose personally
identifiable information in response to a request from law enforcement officials or as otherwise required by law, or if we
believe it is necessary to protect someone's safety, or enforce our Terms of Service. If we decide to materially change this
privacy policy, we will prominently post those changes on this page.
