At NewsFlash, we prioritize the sovereignty of your data. This policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect your information within our high-fidelity discovery network.
1. Information We Collect
To provide a personalized discovery experience, we collect:
- Profile Data: Email and name provided via Google Sign-In.
- Discovery Preferences: Categories, sources, and regions you follow or mute.
- Usage Metadata: Diagnostic data and interaction metrics to optimize our AI engine.
2. Data Sovereignty & Storage
Your data is safely encrypted and stored using Supabase (PostgreSQL). We do not sell your personal data to third-party "Dark Matter" advertisers.
3. Third-Party Intelligence
We leverage elite partners to power the NewsFlash network:
- RevenueCat: Manages secure subscription logic and entitlement verification.
- Groq & AI Providers: Processes anonymized article content to generate Sirius insights.
- NewsData.io: Sources news discovery items from the global grid.
- Google Auth: Provides secure, frictionless access protocol.
4. AI Insight Processing
Our "Sirius" AI analyzes news articles, not your private communications. Personalization is handled through localized preference vectors to ensure an immersive and relevant feed.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
You maintain absolute control over your profile. You may request data extraction or account erasure at any time through the "Edit Profile" terminal in the app.
6. Strategic Security
We implement high-grade encryption and security protocols to safeguard your discovery history from unauthorized access.
7. Children's Privacy
NewsFlash is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
