What Dailyhunt does with your data
Dailyhunt discloses targeted advertising, cross-site and cross-device ad tracking via partners, and sharing with advertisers, analytics and measurement firms. It holds data as long as local law permits, and allows AI training on personal data where consented or legally permitted.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.
Show me where they say that
Dailyhunt’s own policy says “We work with our corporate group and select third-party partners or business associates who help us provide, operate and improve our Services. We also share your information with Cloud Service Providers, CDNs, ISPs, Technology Partners, content moderation services, measurement providers, advertisers, and analytics providers.”
Our summary names its corporate group plus a list of recipient categories it shares user information with, including advertisers, measurement providers and analytics providers, and elsewhere reserves the right to transfer personal information on a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.
Show me where they say that
Dailyhunt’s own policy says “Eterno may also use Your information for targeted advertising, targeted content delivery, and other business purposes unless You specifically opt-out of such uses.”
Our summary expressly reserves the right to use user information for targeted advertising and targeted content delivery, on an opt-out rather than opt-in basis. A separate clause says non-personal information about third-party apps installed or uninstalled on the device is used for personalising content and Services based on the user's interests.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that
Dailyhunt’s own policy says “Additionally, we allow our business partners, advertising networks, and other advertising vendors and service providers (including analytics vendors and service providers) to collect information about your online activities through Cookies. We link your contact or subscriber information with your activity on our Platform across your devices, using your email or other log-in or device information. These third parties may use this information to display advertisements on our Platform and elsewhere online tailored to your interests, preferences, and characteristics.”
Our summary permits advertising networks and vendors to collect the user's online activity through cookies, links that activity across the user's devices using email or log-in identifiers, and states the resulting ads are shown both on the Platform and elsewhere online.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Dailyhunt’s own policy says “Eterno will hold and use the content/data as long as required and/or permissible under local laws.”
Our summary sets the retention ceiling at what local law permits rather than at what the user wants or what the purpose needs, and states that after a deletion request certain details are still maintained for archival and legal purposes.
-
Trains AI models on your content
Your photos, messages or activity are used to train machine-learning models.
What this costs you. This one has no undo. Once your content is inside a trained model, no erasure request can lift it back out.
Show me where they say that
Dailyhunt’s own policy says “Personal data shall not be used for training artificial intelligence systems except where permitted under applicable law or with appropriate consent.”
Our summary states a default bar on training AI systems with personal data, but carves out an express exception where applicable law permits or consent is obtained — so AI training is contemplated under conditions rather than ruled out. The same section confirms the Platform runs automated/AI systems to organise, recommend and moderate content.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Dailyhunt’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.
- Processes your face or other biometrics
Dailyhunt is one app. How many are on your phone?
Most people carry twenty to forty. Add yours and see the total in one screen — how many share your data, profile you for ads, or follow you across the web. Then take it back from all of them at once.

Questions
What does Dailyhunt do with my personal data?
According to Dailyhunt's own privacy policy, read on 2026-08-14, it discloses 5 of the six uses we track: shares your data with partners, builds an advertising profile of you, follows you onto other websites and apps, keeps your records long-term, trains ai models on your content.
Can I withdraw my consent from Dailyhunt?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to. The Act's substantive provisions commence in stages up to May 2027, so a request made now asks for voluntary compliance and puts the date on record. Processing a company carries out under a legal obligation — such as KYC records the RBI requires — cannot be withdrawn.
Does Dailyhunt track me for advertising?
Yes — Dailyhunt's published policy discloses this. The exact sentence it is based on is quoted on this page, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
Every use above is one Dailyhunt declared in its own published privacy policy, which we
read on 2026-08-14. Quotes are verbatim; the summary beside each one is ours
and is labelled as ours. Nothing here is inferred.
Saaph.in is a DPDP consent and request management platform operated by Ronin Works
Private Limited. It is a communication facilitator, not your legal or authorised
representative. The DPDP Act 2023 commences in stages up to May 2027, so a request
made today asks for voluntary compliance and records the date you asked.
