Privacy Policy
The short version
CSE News Report has no accounts and no sign-in. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number, and we have no way to identify you. What you save and which alerts you choose stay on your device.
What stays on your device
- Articles you save
- Which companies and sectors you follow for alerts
- Your theme and reading-language choice
- Which articles you unlocked by watching an ad
- Whether usage and crash reports are switched on
None of this is sent to us. Uninstalling the app deletes all of it.
What third parties receive
Firebase Cloud Messaging issues your device a registration token so notifications can reach it. The token identifies a device, not a person. We use it only to deliver alerts for the companies and sectors you chose, and never link it to anything else.
Google AdMob serves the advertising in the app and may use your device’s advertising identifier to select and measure ads. That identifier is under your control: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads lets you reset or delete it. Google’s handling of it is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
Firebase Analytics records how the app is used: which screens are opened, and actions such as saving, sharing or opening the subscription page. Events carry an anonymous app-instance identifier and article ids, never what you read, type or search. Firebase Crashlytics receives a report when the app crashes, with the device model, Android version and the technical details of the error. Both can be turned off in the app under Settings → Privacy.
Google Play handles every Pro subscription payment. We never see your card or bank details; Google tells the app only whether your subscription is active and which plan it is on, and its handling of the payment is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
Firebase Realtime Database stores the news itself. Opening an article sends a request for that article; it carries no identifier we can trace to you.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share your data with anyone.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
- We do not collect location, contacts, photos or files.
- We do not build a profile of you.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
Turning things off
Notifications can be switched off inside the app, or in Android Settings for the app. Turning them off stops the alerts; the device token may persist until you uninstall.
Usage analytics and crash reports stop as soon as you turn off Settings → Privacy → Share usage and crash reports. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app asks for your consent before showing ads, and Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices lets you change your answer.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. A change that materially affects what is collected will be announced in the app before it takes effect.
