Who we are

Neus (the "app", "we", "us") is a news reader operated by HBKL Labs LLC. This policy explains what we collect, why, who handles it for us, and the choices you have. Questions: neus@hbkllabs.com.

Age

Neus is rated 17+ because the news it links to can include mature topics such as violence and crime. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has an account, email us and we will delete it.

What we collect

You sign in to use Neus. We collect the items below, all linked to your account.

Account detailsYou sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a one-time code sent to your email. We receive your email address (with Apple this can be Apple's private relay address if you choose to hide your email) and a user ID from the sign-in provider. We do not receive your contacts, photos or location.
Your choicesThe topics you pick, the stories you mark Interested, outlets you prefer or hide, and your notification setting. They keep your feed the way you set it, across your devices.
Reading activityWhich stories you open and which outlet links you tap, with the outlet name and story category. It is stored with your account for your reading history. It is not used for advertising and is not shared with advertisers.
Notification tokenIf you turn on notifications, we store your device's Apple push token with your account so Apple can deliver alerts. If you turn notifications off in iOS Settings, we stop using it.
Feedback you choose to sendIn Profile, Leave feedback sends the message you write, your email only if you type one, and the app version, iOS version and device model. Nothing is sent unless you tap Submit. We keep a salted hash of your IP address for rate limiting, never the address itself. We keep feedback until we delete it, and you can ask us to delete yours.
Subscription statusApple handles your payment. We receive whether your subscription is active so the app can unlock what you bought. We never see your card or Apple Account details.
What we do not collect

We do not collect the following.

Sensitive dataNo location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or health data.
AdvertisingNo advertising identifiers and no data used for advertising. Neus has no ads.
TrackingNo tracking of you across other companies' apps or websites.
What Neus shows

Neus shows each outlet's headline with a link back to the outlet's own article, plus a summary that Neus writes in its own words. Story photos are ones we have the right to use, shown with credit where required. Neus does not send your account data to news outlets.

Outlet pages

When you tap a link, the outlet's page opens in an in-app browser. That page belongs to the outlet, and the outlet's own privacy policy applies to it, including any cookies it sets. Profile, Clear browser data removes what the in-app browser stored.
