Privacy Policy

1. Overview and Core Principle

StreamFolio ("the Application") is built from the ground up with an uncompromising commitment to user privacy. We do not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. The Application functions strictly as a local RSS/Atom client that fetches public feeds directly from publisher websites and parses them locally on your physical device.

2. On-Device Local Data Processing

All application operations are executed strictly within your local device sandbox:

• Local Database Storage: Article entries, reading state, bookmarks, custom feed URLs, and category orders are stored entirely within a local SQLite database (via Android Room) on your device. This data never leaves your hardware.
• On-Device AI Summarization: Article text summarization (powered by Gemini Nano and Google AICore / ML Kit GenAI in v1.2) runs entirely on your local System SoC. No article bodies, prompts, parsed text, or logs are sent to remote AI cloud servers.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS): Article listening features and persistent audio playlists rely solely on the built-in Android TextToSpeech engine on your system.

3. Third-Party Websites and Publisher WebViews

When you choose to open an article in full WebView mode, the Application loads the publisher's public web page directly using a hardened Android WebView component. StreamFolio does not inject tracking scripts into publisher pages. However, third-party publisher websites operate under their own independent privacy policies, terms, and cookie usage.

4. Network Access Permissions

The Application requests standard Android `INTERNET` permissions strictly to perform direct HTTP GET requests to public RSS/Atom XML endpoints specified by you or included in standard curated region lists (US, UK, SG, IN, CA, AU, HK). We do not use third-party telemetry, analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Firebase), or ad tracking SDKs.

5. Policy Revisions

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new local device features or OS APIs. Continued usage of StreamFolio indicates acceptance of our local-only processing policy.
