User Information
Non-personally identifiable information is information that, by itself, cannot be tracked to a specific individual. MT Newswires may collect non-personally identifiable information while you are visiting the MTNewswires.com Web site or the Web site of one of MT Newswires’ customers, including advertisers and Web publishers. With each advertising impression served, MT Newswires collects information such as the time of day, URL visited, browser type, browser language, and IP address. MT Newswires analyzes certain web pages of those publisher websites within our network. MT Newswires may use page content, form data and URL parameters in order to improve its service to the users. In addition, the visited URL is sent to MT Newswires’ servers from the browser so that MT Newswires may retrieve the applicable page content from the publisher’s servers.
As part of our on-going efforts to ensure the best possible experience, we may use any number of features, including Web beacons and cookies, to collect non-personally identifiable information. Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology or action tags, are small colorless image files placed on a Web page for the purpose of tracking the completion of transactions and the submission of applications, which, in turn, enhances the online experience for our users.
Similarly, a Cookie is a file that the Internet browser places on your computer’s hard drive. It is not a virus and cannot erase your hard drive or otherwise damage your computer. A cookie controls the delivery rate of ads to Web browsers such that the number of times a Web browser receives any one advertisement is limited to ensure the best online experience for our users. A cookie also allows MT Newswires reporting system to estimate the total reach of an ad campaign so that our advertisers can determine with greater accuracy the composition of the audience they reach.
Neither Web beacons nor cookies provide MT Newswires with an email address or any other personally-identifiable information, and MT Newswires does not and cannot use Web beacons or cookies to recover such information from the computers of our users. Again, MT Newswires simply collects non-personally identifiable information for the limited purpose of optimizing the operation of MT Newswires services, maintaining the quality and integrity of the services, and providing general statistics regarding our users. Although cookies enhance the online experience, Web users always have the option of blocking the use of the same by altering a setting in their browser. Please see your browser supplier’s Web site for details on how this may be done if you object to the collection of non-personally identifiable information.
MT Newswires may place advertisements of third-party advertisers on Web sites that you are visiting. If you choose to click on an advertisement, MT Newswires may provide non-personally identifiable information to the advertiser and Web publisher. Also, the Web publisher or MT Newswires’ other partners may use cookies, action tags, GIFs, or Web beacons to collect information when you are visiting their Web sites. The information they collect is governed by their individual privacy policies, not MT Newswires.
Submission of Personally Identifiable Information
When using services offered through MT Newswires or its customers and affiliates, you may choose to enter your name, contact information, and other personal information. You will have clear notification that we are collecting this information so that you can choose not to provide it. Users may also provide contact information while visiting MTNewswires.com to request information.
Use of the Information We Collect
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
MT Newswires may use non-personally identifiable information collected to improve the quality of MT Newswires services, for example, by increasing ad placements on Web sites that are receiving more Web traffic and presenting you with ads that we think you would be interested in viewing. MT Newswires may market its services by sharing Web surfing data with business partners in such a way that you are not identified. MT Newswires also may provide your non-personally identifiable information to companies so that they can perform services for us.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
MT Newswires does not provide personally identifiable information to third parties except under the following conditions. If you provide personally identifiable information as part of an inquiry about products or services provided by one of our business partners, we will provide that information only to that business partner so that they may attempt to provide you with information regarding the products or services you inquired about.
MT Newswires may use the personally identifiable information provided by users or business partners at MTNewswires.com for internal purposes, such as sales, human resources, marketing, and administration (e.g., billing, newsletters and communicating with our business partners and maintaining their account information). We may share this information with third parties who provide MT Newswires with administrative services. If MT Newswires shares any of the information collected from you with a third party, their use of that information will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy.
Advertising Content
MT Newswires’ services display links to other sites in the form of “contextual advertising.” MT Newswires has no control over the content presented in such advertisements; third party advertisers provide them. The content of these advertisements is intended to show a high degree of relevance to the content you view. MT Newswires parses the content of the URL visited, determines the relevant context and keywords and passes this information to the third party to obtain the advertisement to display.
Child Protection
MT Newswires does not offer services to, or target, persons under the age of 18. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, any information we receive from people we believe to be minors will be purged from our database.
Data Collection & Storage
Q: What user data does this connector store?
A: The connector collects and stores two types of usage data:
User prompts: The text of the query or request your AI assistant passes to the connector when invoking a tool, which may reflect the question you asked your assistant. We do not access your full conversation history or any content that is not sent to the connector.
Tool call activity: The request parameters sent to a tool and the response payload returned by it.
We use this data to detect and prevent abuse (such as scraping, credential sharing, and
rate-limit evasion), to diagnose errors, and to improve tool quality, relevance, and news coverage. You can opt out of prompt collection at any time (see "User Control and Rights" below).
Q: Why did this change?
A: Previously, prompts and tool call payloads were processed transiently and discarded. As of October 15, 2026, we collect user prompts (unless you opt out) and retain tool call payloads for a limited period. This helps us detect and prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and improve the quality and relevance of the connector's results.
Q: How long is this data retained?
A: User prompts and tool call request and response payloads are retained for up to 1 year, after which they are automatically deleted. Aggregate, non-identifying statistics derived from them
(such as call volume by tool or common query topics) may be retained longer.
Q: Who can access this data?
A: Access is limited to authorized personnel for the purposes described above. We do not sell this data or share it with third parties for purposes other than those described above, except where required by law.
Q: Is this data used to train AI models?
A: We may use de-identified prompts and tool call data to evaluate and improve our retrieval and ranking systems as well as identify coverage gaps. We do not use this data to train generative models, and we do not share it with third-party model providers.
Q: What other, non-user data is stored?
A: For billing purposes, we retain:
● Billing ID: an opaque billing identifier used to associate requests with a client's usage tier.
● Timestamp: the time a request was made.
Your payment details are safe: we never see or store your credit card or bank details. All payments are handled securely by our partner Authorize.Net, which is PCI DSS compliant.
Q: Is any personally identifiable information (PII) collected?
A: We collect only the basic account information we need, such as your name and email.
We do not intentionally collect PII through prompts or tool calls. However, because prompts and tool call parameters originate from your queries, they may incidentally contain personal or confidential information if you include it. We treat this data as confidential and apply the same access controls and retention limits described above. We recommend not including sensitive personal information in your queries.
Q: Is data encrypted in transit?
A: Yes. All communications to and from the connector are encrypted using industry standard TLS.
Data Retention and Storage
Q: How long is billing data retained for?
A: Usage and billing data is stored for at least 1 year to facilitate billing and auditing.
User Control and Rights
Q: How do I opt out of prompt collection?
A: You can opt out at any time by emailing customersupport@mtnewswires.com with the subject line "Prompt Collection Opt-Out". Opt-out takes effect within 5 business days and applies to prompts submitted after that point. Opting out does not affect your access to the connector or its features. Tool call metadata and billing data will continue to be collected as needed to operate, secure, and bill for the service.
Q: How do I request deletion of my data?
A: You may request deletion of the prompts and tool call data associated with your account by contacting customersupport@mtnewswires.com. We will confirm receipt of your request and complete the deletion within 30 days. You can also request that your registration information be deleted.
Note that we may retain aggregate, de-identified information that can no longer be associated with you for internal purposes including research, analytics, and reporting, and we may retain records necessary to comply with legal, billing, or audit obligations.
Q: How do I update my registration information?
A: You may update your registration information at any time by contacting Customer Support at customersupport@mtnewswires.com.
