Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how cnetnews.site (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information about visitors to our website. This policy applies only to this website and not to any third-party sites that may be linked from our content.

1. Overview

We publish celebrity wealth profiles, income-source breakdowns, category rankings, and methodology explainers. Our content focuses on publicly available information and attributes every figure to named sources such as Forbes, Bloomberg, Celebrity Net Worth, and public filings. We present dollar amounts as ranges with source labels rather than as single opaque numbers, and we break down “how they actually earn it” based on current deals, tours, contracts, and sales.

This policy is designed to help you understand what information is collected when you visit our site, how that information is used, and the choices you have regarding advertising and data collection.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information. The only personal information we receive is what you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you send a message through a contact form or email address that we may publish on the site. That information typically includes your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Like most websites, we also automatically collect certain non-personal data through log files and similar technologies. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device type, referring/exit URLs, and pages viewed. This data is used in aggregate for statistical purposes and to improve the user experience.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the website, understand how visitors interact with our content, respond to inquiries, and improve the accuracy and usefulness of our articles. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons) to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and measure traffic patterns. These technologies help us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors move around the site.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising

We may display advertising through Google AdSense on this website. Google and its third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet. This is used to deliver personalized or interest-based advertisements.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites. To learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site, please review the Google partner-site policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We respect your consent choices. Where we are required to obtain consent for personalized advertising, we will only serve such ads if you have indicated your agreement. Your choices regarding ad personalization are respected in accordance with applicable regulations.

6. Third-Party Links

Our articles may contain links to external websites for source attribution or additional reading. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external website you visit.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we receive from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

8. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us through the methods below so we can delete the information.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You have several choices regarding the collection and use of your information:

• You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising using the Google Ads Settings link or the opt-out mechanisms listed above.
• Depending on your state of residence (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado), you may have additional rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we have collected about you. We will comply with applicable laws.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information on our contact page.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
