Privacy Policy — PrivyFeed (iOS)

Last updated: May 2026

PrivyFeed is a private, local-first RSS reader application for iOS. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how PrivyFeed handles—or does not handle—your data.

1. User Data Collection

PrivyFeed (iOS) does NOT collect, harvest, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data.

Specifically, the app does not collect:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, account details)
• Your RSS feeds subscription URLs or OPML files
• Extracted article content or notes
• Generated digests, summaries, or vector indexes
• Usage analytics, behavioral tracking, or telemetry
• Device identifiers or location data

2. User Data Handling

All feed fetching, article parsing, and AI operations are handled locally on your system and network:

• Feed Fetching: The app directly fetches RSS and Atom feeds from the URLs you have subscribed to via HTTP/HTTPS.
• Local AI Inference: The app connects to an Ollama instance running on your local network (e.g., your Mac, PC, or Raspberry Pi) via a LAN address you configure (e.g., http://192.168.1.x:11434). All AI summarization and chat happen locally on your self-hosted Ollama. No data is sent to external AI service providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) or any cloud AI APIs.

3. User Data Storage

All application data, indexes, and settings are stored locally on your device:

• Feeds & Articles: RSS/Atom subscription URLs and parsed article content are saved locally in the app's sandboxed SQLite database.
• Vector Indexes: Local embeddings generated from your feed articles are stored locally within the app's sandbox.
• App settings: Theme preferences, local network Ollama server addresses, and model configurations are saved using standard iOS UserDefaults.

All stored data is kept in the app's sandbox on your iOS device and is not accessible to other apps. You can delete all data at any time by deleting the application.

4. User Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit any data to any party. All processing happens locally on your device or network, and no data is shared with the app developers or any third-party services.
