We do not collect or store Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on our servers. However, the app processes certain data as part of its normal functionality:

a. Local Data (Bookmarks, Settings, Backups, and Feed Preferences):

• Stored on your device or in a location you select using the Android Storage Access Framework (SAF).

• Feed preferences (such as country, region, language, and topics) are stored locally.

• If you enable automatic backup, bookmarks, settings, and feed preferences are saved to the chosen location (local storage or third-party cloud).

• We cannot access, transmit, or modify this data.

b. Advertising Data (Google AdMob):

• Ad networks may collect device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID) and infer approximate location (via IP address) to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads.

  • Device information (model, OS version).
