The FeedIn is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Account information — when you sign in with Google or Apple: your name, email address and (Google only) profile photo. Apple may share only a private relay email.
Reading activity — articles you open, time spent reading, your daily reading counts and streak, categories you read, articles you save, and your votes on AI predictions.
Device push token — so we can send news notifications.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, or advertising identifiers, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
How We Use Your Information
To show your reading streak, stats, badges and profile
To personalise your feed based on the categories you choose
To save articles and sync them across your devices (signed-in users)
To send news notifications (you can turn these off in your device settings)
To keep the app working and fix problems
Stored on Your Device
Some data never leaves your phone: articles you've read, Bytes you've watched, your prediction votes, chosen categories, theme and daily goal. Bytes you've watched are sent with each Bytes request only so we can skip videos you've already seen — we don't store that list on our servers.
Guest users: saved articles stay on the device. Your push token and anonymous reading counts are sent to our servers, but they aren't linked to any account.
Data Storage
Account data and reading stats are stored on our servers (MongoDB Atlas database, Railway hosting). Data is transmitted over encrypted connections.
Third-Party Services
Google Sign-In / Firebase Authentication and Apple Sign-In — to sign you in
Expo Push Notifications — to deliver notifications
Anthropic (Claude) — writes AI summaries, briefs and predictions from news articles. Only news content is sent; never your personal data
News sources — GNews, Google News, Google Trends, Bing News and Wikipedia provide headlines, trends and images. Our servers fetch this public content; no personal data is shared with them. Images and articles you open load directly from these sites
MongoDB Atlas and Railway — database and hosting
Each service has its own privacy policy.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data
We do not show ads or share your information with advertisers
Your data is shared only with the services listed above, and only as needed to run the app
Your Choices & Data Deletion
Delete your account anytime via Profile → Account Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and its data from our servers
Clear data stored on your device via Profile → Account Settings → Clear Local Data
Turn off notifications in your device settings
Children's Privacy
The FeedIn is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always available in the app and on this page, with the date it was last updated.
