Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

NewsBit ("the app") is made by Cybercodex. It shows news stories from publishers' public news feeds. The app has no user accounts and does not ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts or location.

What stays on your phone

• Your settings: country, languages, state, theme and text size.
• What the feed has learned: which topics, tags and publishers you read or skip, and which stories you have already seen. This is used only on your phone to order your feed, and is never sent to us.
• Saved stories you bookmark.

You can clear what the feed has learned in Settings → Reset what the feed has learned. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data in Android settings deletes all of it.

News feeds

To show stories, the app downloads feed files for your country and languages from our server (Google Cloud Firestore). The request says which feed it wants, not who you are. Pictures are loaded from the publishers' sites, and "Read full story" opens the publisher's page in your browser, where that publisher's own privacy policy applies.

App improvement

The app uses Google Firebase:

• Analytics: usage events such as a story's category and language, how long a card was on screen, and whether it was saved or shared, with device model, OS version and an app instance ID. It does not include the stories' text or your saved stories.
• Crashlytics: crash reports with device and app details, to fix bugs.
• Remote Config: settings such as how the feed is ordered.

See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.

Listening and sharing

"Listen" reads a story aloud with your phone's own text-to-speech engine. "Share" opens your phone's share menu with the story's headline, summary and link; nothing is sent to us.

Advertising

This version of the app shows no ads. If a later version does, this policy will say so before that version is released.

What we do not do

We do not sell data, do not build a profile of you on our servers, and do not share your reading history with anyone.

Children

The app is a general news app and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes and contact

We will post any change to this policy on this page with a new date. Questions or requests: support@cybercodex.co.in.
