Newsweek Privacy Notice

Newsweek added a new table to its state-specific privacy rights section that directly lists each category of personal information it collects (identifiers, commercial info, internet activity, geolocation, audio/visual, employment info, and behavioral inferences) alongside the specific purposes for using each category, including advertising and profiling uses. This consolidates and makes explicit information that was previously only accessible by following a cross-reference to the main Privacy Notice.
