We know compliance might sound dry, but at Opera News, it’s a big part of how we build trust. Here’s a quick Q&A that explains how we meet global digital standards.

A: Yes. We follow the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules when handling personal data from users in the European Economic Area (EEA). We only collect what’s necessary, and we’re transparent about how it’s used.

Q: What data protection practices do you follow?

A: We:

• Use SSL encryption for all data transmissions
• Limit access to personal data within our team
• Partner only with third parties who also prioritize data security
• Give users control over cookies and data collection

Q: How do you handle data from California residents?

A: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California users can:

• Request to know what personal data we collect
• Ask us to delete their information
• Opt out of data selling (though we don’t sell data in the first place)

A: Besides GDPR and CCPA, we’re mindful of:
