The Newsairy app is developed and maintained by Enrico Bonaldo (“me”). Your privacy is important to me. Newsairy has no proprietary server component and does not collect or transmit your personal information to my servers. All data processed by the app is stored locally on your device or within your personal iCloud account. The app does not contain third-party analytics or tracking services.

I believe your reading habits and your data are yours and yours alone. I do not store or transmit your personal details, nor do I include any advertising or analytics software that talks to third parties.

Permissions

Newsairy requests no iOS system permissions beyond network access, which is required to fetch RSS, Atom and JSON feeds from the internet. No access to your photos, contacts, location, microphone, or camera is requested or used.

iCloud Sync

Newsairy uses Apple’s CloudKit framework to synchronize your feeds, articles, and reading state across your Apple devices signed in to the same iCloud account. This data — including your subscribed feeds, unread/read status, starred articles, and app preferences — is stored in your personal iCloud account and is subject to Apple’s iCloud Privacy Policy. I have no access to this data at any time.

You can disable iCloud sync at any time through iOS Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Newsairy.

The Old Reader Integration

If you choose to connect a The Old Reader account, Newsairy sends your email and password directly to The Old Reader’s authentication API to obtain a session token. Your credentials are never stored or transmitted to my servers — only the authentication token is saved securely in the iOS Keychain on your device. All subsequent communication with The Old Reader uses this token. All communication with The Old Reader is subject to The Old Reader’s Privacy Policy. You can disconnect your account at any time from the app’s settings.

Feed Fetching

When Newsairy fetches RSS, Atom or JSON feeds, it connects directly to the web servers hosting those feeds. Your IP address may be visible to those servers as part of a standard internet connection. No additional personal information is transmitted. Newsairy does not proxy feed requests through my servers.

Data Shared with Third Parties

Newsairy does not share your data with any third party beyond:

  • Apple / iCloud: for synchronization purposes, as described above.
  • The Old Reader: if you choose to connect an account, as described above.
  • Feed publishers: your IP address is visible to the servers hosting the feeds you subscribe to, as part of a standard HTTP request.

No data is ever sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or analytics providers.

Data Retention and Deletion

All app data — including your feed subscriptions, cached articles, reading state, and preferences — is stored locally on your device and, if iCloud sync is enabled, in your personal iCloud account. No data is stored on my servers. All local data is automatically deleted when you uninstall Newsairy. To remove iCloud data, you can manage or delete it through iOS Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage.

Your Rights

Since Newsairy does not collect or store your personal data on external servers, you maintain complete control over your information at all times. You may:

  • Disable iCloud sync at any time through iOS Settings.
  • Disconnect The Old Reader account at any time from within the app.
  • Delete all local app data by uninstalling Newsairy.
  • Delete iCloud data through iOS Settings > iCloud > Manage Account Storage.

Children’s Privacy

Newsairy does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The app does not target or appeal specifically to children.
