Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Low Stress News ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application for iOS and Android (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. If you create an account, we collect your email address and any preferences you set (such as topic categories).

Usage data. We collect information about how you interact with the App — for example, which stories you open, your in-story signals, and time spent in sections — to improve recommendations and the product itself.

Device data. We collect device identifiers, operating system, app version, language, and crash diagnostics.

Location. If you enable weather features, we collect approximate or precise location depending on the permission you grant. You can revoke this permission anytime in your device settings.

2. How We Use Information

• To deliver and personalize your news feed.
• To show local weather when enabled.
• To improve our summaries, categorization, and product quality.
• To diagnose crashes and prevent abuse.
• To communicate important updates about the App.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited information only with:

• Service providers who help us operate the App (hosting, analytics, crash reporting), bound by confidentiality.
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

4. Your Choices

You can manage notification, location, and tracking permissions from your device settings. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data by contacting us at the address below.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App. We may retain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely.

6. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. We use appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by email.
