This Privacy Policy explains how Wholesome by WH ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application ("Wholesome" or"App"). The App is a health news aggregator designed to provide you with access to relevant articles and information.
We collect minimal information to ensure the App functions as intended:
Device Tokens: When you enable notifications, we collect your device token to send push notifications about new articles or updates.
Local Storage: When you like articles, they are stored locally on your device for offline access. This data is not sent to our servers.
The information we collect is used solely to enhance your experience with the App:
Device Tokens: Used to deliver push notifications about new content or updates.
Liked Articles: Stored locally to allow you quick access to your favorite articles, even offline.
We do not share your personal information with third parties, except as necessary to provide the App’s services:
Device tokens are shared with our push notification service provider (Firebase Cloud Messaging) to enable notifications.
We use the following third-party service to support the App’s functionality:
Push Notifications: We use Firebase Cloud Messaging to send notifications. Please review their privacy policy for more information.
News: We use NewsAPI to pull news to display on this App.
Summarization: We used ChatGPT for summarization.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The App includes an in-app web view that allows you to access the source websites of articles. These websites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or data practices.
You have control over your data:
You can enable or disable notifications in the App’s settings, which determines whether we collect your device token.
Liked articles can be managed or deleted directly on your device.
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the updated policy in the App and updating the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the App signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
