What Swifteer stores
Swifteer keeps the sources you follow, the articles you've opened, and the articles in Read Later and Saved. They're stored on your iPhone and, with iCloud on, in your private iCloud database. The developer runs no server that receives this data.
iCloud and sync
Your library syncs through Apple's CloudKit to every iPhone signed in to your Apple Account. Apple handles this data under its own privacy policy, and the developer can't see what's in your private iCloud database.
Notifications
When you follow a source, Swifteer registers a notification subscription with iCloud, so Apple's push service can tell your iPhone when that source publishes. The developer can't see who follows a source. You can turn notifications off at any time in Settings.
Articles and source sites
The list of sources and articles comes from a public iCloud database that the app reads. Article images load from each source's site, and opening an article loads the source's own page. Those sites can see your IP address and may set cookies under their own privacy policies.
Swifteer Plus
Apple handles purchases and subscriptions through the App Store. Swifteer only checks whether Swifteer Plus is active on your Apple Account, so it can turn on its features.
Emails and the Support form
If you email support@swifteer.app or send the Support form, your address and message are used only to reply to you, and they're deleted when you ask. The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that messages come from people.
This website
swifteer.app runs no analytics or ads. It's hosted on Cloudflare, and its fonts load from Google Fonts.
Children
Swifteer doesn't collect personal data from anyone, including children.
