Newzy is designed to keep your data on your device. This policy explains what is stored locally and what is sent to third parties when you use the app.
1. Data stored on your device
Newzy stores your settings, saved articles, reading history, podcast subscriptions, playback progress, queue and playback preferences in a local SQLite database. It does not create an account and does not upload this database to the developer.
You can delete saved articles, history, subscriptions and queue items in the app, or remove all app data in your device settings.
2. No developer analytics or advertising
The current app has no developer-operated analytics, crash-reporting backend, advertising SDK, or cross-app tracking. It does not sell personal data.
3. Network requests and third parties
When Newzy loads news, scores, quotes or podcasts, your device contacts third-party services directly. Those services may receive your IP address, device and app information, the requested feed or URL, search terms, stock symbols, team names, and timestamps.
Providers include news publishers and RSS hosts, Bing News for location news, Apple Podcasts (iTunes) for podcast search, Yahoo Finance for market quotes, ESPN and TheSportsDB for sports data, and any website you open in the reader or in-app browser. Podcast audio is streamed from the publisher's feed. Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy.
4. Cookies and in-app browsing
Websites opened in the reader or in-app browser may set cookies and local storage. The Settings → Privacy → Article cookies control tries to accept or reject non-essential cookies automatically, but it cannot guarantee how a third-party site behaves. You can manage cookies through the site or your device.
5. Notifications
If you enable breaking alerts, the app schedules a local notification on your device. The title of the story may appear on your lock screen. No remote push service or notification token is used.
6. Retention
Local data remains until you delete it, clear app data, or uninstall Newzy. In-memory caches are temporary and may be cleared when the app closes. Third-party providers retain data under their own policies.
7. Security
Local data is protected by your device's app sandbox and screen lock. No method is perfectly secure. Use a device passcode, keep the operating system updated, and be careful with backups and shared devices. The app database is not encrypted separately.
8. Your rights
Because the developer does not receive your local data, you control it directly through the app and your device. If you have a privacy question or a request relating to data the developer may hold, use the contact details on the Newzy store listing. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
9. Children
Newzy is not directed to children under 16. Do not use the app to store sensitive personal data such as health, financial, password or government-identification information.
10. Changes
This policy may be updated when Newzy adds a provider or feature. The current version is always available in the app. Material changes will be reflected in a new effective date.
