Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Feedler is built privacy-first. I do not run any server that collects your data, and I have no interest in knowing what you read. This policy explains, in plain terms, what that means.

The short version

Feedler collects nothing. No personal information, no usage data, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. There is no Feedler account to create, and there is no Feedler server that receives your data.

Your data stays on your device

Your feeds, articles, reading state, favorites, and cached content are stored locally on your device. They are never uploaded to me. If you delete the app, this data is removed with it.

iCloud

Feedler can use your own private iCloud storage, in two optional ways. Your accounts and settings are backed up there, so that a new device can restore them. And if you create an iCloud account in Feedler, your feeds, folders, read and favorite states and the list of your recent articles are synced between your devices.

In both cases the data sits in your private iCloud database, which only you can access. I cannot see it. It is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, and you can turn iCloud off for Feedler in your device's iCloud settings.

Third-party RSS accounts

Feedler can optionally connect to third-party RSS services such as Feedbin, Inoreader, NewsBlur, BazQux, The Old Reader, FreshRSS, Miniflux, or Tiny Tiny RSS. If you choose to connect one:

• Your credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. If you use iCloud Keychain, Apple syncs them between your devices with end-to-end encryption.
• They are sent only to the service you chose, to sync your feeds. They are never sent to me.
• Your use of that service is governed by its own privacy policy.

If you only use a local "Local RSS" account, no credentials are needed and nothing leaves your device except the requests to the websites whose feeds you added.

Content from publishers

When Feedler fetches a feed or loads an article, images, or videos, it connects directly to the publisher's servers (and, for embedded videos, to services such as YouTube). Those requests are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. Feedler does not add any tracking to these requests.

No tracking, no ads

Feedler contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. I do not build a profile of you and I do not share or sell any data, because I never collect any in the first place.

AI summaries

Article and story summaries use Apple Intelligence and run on your device. The text of your articles is not sent to me or to any AI service.

Purchases

The Feedler Unlimited subscription is sold through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and I never receive your payment details. Feedler only learns from the App Store whether a subscription is active.

This website

feedlerapp.com uses no cookies and no third-party analytics. It keeps anonymous daily counts of the pages viewed and of the FAQ questions opened. No IP address and no identifier is stored.

Children's privacy

Feedler does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
