Privacy Policy
+Last updated: {LAST_UPDATED}
+ ++ Refetch is an open-source, community-run tech news reader. We keep the amount of data we + hold about you as small as the product allows, and this page explains exactly what that + is. It covers the website at{" "} + + refetch.io + {" "} + and the Refetch mobile and desktop apps. +
+ ++ Account details. If you create + an account we store the name, email address, and password you provide. Passwords are + hashed by our authentication provider and are never visible to us. +
++ What you post. Submissions, + comments, and votes are stored and linked to your account. Submissions and comments are + public by design. Votes are not shown next to your name, but they are stored with your + account id so that each person votes once. +
++ Push notification tokens. If + you enable notifications in the mobile app, the device sends us a push token so our + servers can deliver a notification to that device. Turning notifications off removes it. +
++ Aggregate usage statistics. We + use Plausible Analytics, which is cookie-free and does not collect personal data or + build profiles across sites. It tells us how many people read a page, not who they are. +
++ We do not use your content to train machine learning models. Refetch uses AI to + summarise and rank linked news articles; that process reads the third-party + article, not your account or your comments. +
++ Accounts and content are stored with{" "} + + Appwrite Cloud + {" "} + on infrastructure hosted in the European Union, and are handled under{" "} + + Appwrite's privacy policy + + . Aggregate statistics are held by{" "} + + Plausible + + , also in the EU. We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. +
++ We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in. There are no advertising, + marketing, or third-party tracking cookies. Signing out clears the session. +
++ Depending on where you live you may also have the right to access, correct, export, or + object to our use of your data. Email us and we will help. +
++ Refetch is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their + personal data. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will remove + it. +
++ If we change how we handle your data we will update this page and its date. Because + Refetch is open source, every change is also visible in the{" "} + + public repository + + . +
++ Questions, deletion requests, or anything else about your data: open an issue on{" "} + + GitHub + {" "} + or email{" "} + + privacy@refetch.io + + . +
