Privacy Policy
News Notifications collects no data. Here is exactly what it does and doesn’t do.
What Deviate receives
Nothing. News Notifications has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. It never sends information about you or how you use it to Deviate or anyone else.
What stays on your Mac
Your list of feeds, your settings and the history of the past 90 days are stored on your Mac only. Deleting the app deletes them.
iCloud
To keep your feeds the same on all your Macs, the list of feeds is stored in your own iCloud account, using Apple’s iCloud key-value storage. Deviate can’t see it. Apple’s handling of iCloud data is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
The sites you follow
To check for new stories, the app downloads each feed you add straight from the site that publishes it, along with that site’s icon. Like visiting the site in a browser, this tells the site your IP address. What the site does with that is covered by its own privacy policy. When you click a notification, the story opens in your browser.
Notifications
Notifications are created on your Mac. No notification server is involved, and nothing is sent to Apple or Deviate to show them.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.
