Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 24, 2026
Welcome to NEWS. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Google Meet Add-on service.
Information We Collect
We prioritize your privacy by minimizing data collection:
- Topic Preferences: Your selected news topics and categories are stored locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
- Region Setting: Your selected region preference for localized news is stored locally in your browser.
- Display Preferences: Your theme (dark/light mode) and onboarding status, stored locally in your browser.
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect solely for:
- Delivering personalized news based on your selected topics and region
- Remembering your preferences so your feed is ready across sessions
- Applying your display preferences for a comfortable reading experience
Data Storage & Privacy
Fully Client-Side: The app runs entirely in your browser. Your preferences and settings are never uploaded to any server.
No Cloud Storage: We do not store your personal information on any cloud servers. Everything stays locally in your browser.
RSS Feeds Only: News articles are fetched from publicly available RSS feeds. We do not track which articles you read.
Local Only: Your preferences (topics, region, theme) are stored in your browser's localStorage and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
How We Protect Your Information
Since all your preferences stay entirely in your browser, there is no personal data in transit to protect. Here is what we ensure:
- No Personal Data Transmission: Your preferences and settings are never sent to any server. Only public RSS feed URLs are fetched to load articles.
- No Third-Party Sharing: Your preferences and reading habits are never shared with advertisers or any third parties.
- User-Controlled Data: Your localStorage data can be cleared at any time through your browser settings, giving you full control over your stored preferences.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes.
