Privacy Policy

A short, plain-English explanation of what CySwipe does — and doesn't do — with your data.

Last updated: May 29, 2026

The short version

CySwipe is built to read like a magazine, not to surveil you. The app does not require an account, does not run third-party analytics or ad tracking, and stores everything you do — swipes, saved articles, custom sources — locally on your device.

What stays on your device

  • Articles fetched from the feed sources you've enabled.
  • Which articles you've liked, saved, or dismissed.
  • Your list of feed sources, including any you've added or disabled.
  • App preferences (e.g. which default sources you've removed).

This information lives in CySwipe's local database on your device and is not transmitted to the developer or any third party.

What the app fetches from the internet

To populate your feed, CySwipe makes HTTP requests directly from your device to the RSS/Atom feed URLs of the sources you've enabled. These are public feeds run by independent publishers; each publisher may log requests according to their own policies. CySwipe does not proxy these requests, and the developer does not see who fetches what.

Background refresh

When iOS allows it, the app periodically refreshes your feeds in the background so new articles are ready when you open it. This uses the same direct fetches described above and runs only while CySwipe is installed and background refresh is enabled in iOS Settings.

Analytics, ads, and tracking

None. CySwipe does not integrate any analytics SDKs, ad networks, or third-party trackers. There are no advertising identifiers, no pixels, and no behavioral profiles.

Crash reporting

If you have opted into sharing diagnostics with developers in iOS Settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share anonymized crash logs with the developer through App Store Connect. These logs do not contain personal information.

Your choices

  • Disable or remove individual feed sources at any time from the Sources tab.
  • Delete the app at any time — uninstalling removes all local data CySwipe has stored.
  • Turn off background refresh in iOS Settings → General → Background App Refresh.

Children

CySwipe is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
