Privacy

YouScoop has no reader accounts and no tracking pixels. This page lists everything the site stores, in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173).

What we count

When you read a story, we add one to that story’s view count for the hour. That count is how “Trending now” is built. It is a number per story — not who read it.

Polls

When you vote, your browser keeps a random code so you vote once. We store only a scrambled (hashed) form of that code together with the story — it cannot be traced back to you.

What your browser keeps

• youscoop-theme — your light or dark choice.
• ys-voter and ys-voted:… — the poll code and which polls you answered.
• youscoop-opened and ys-viewed:… — for this visit only: whether you saw the opening animation and which stories were counted.

Other services

Polls use Cloudflare Turnstile to stop spam bots; Cloudflare sees your connection when the check runs. Embedded videos and posts are played by Facebook or YouTube from the outlet’s own page, under their privacy policies. Our server logs addresses for a short time to stop abuse.
