uRSS is local-first. Your feeds, your shows, and your reading habits stay on your device - not on our servers. Here's exactly what that means.

Subscriptions, read state, and favorites live in local storage. No account to create.
No ad networks, no third-party analytics SDKs, no behavioral profiles. Ever.
Export or delete everything at any time, right from Settings. It's your data.
As little as possible. uRSS works without an account, so we never ask for your name, email, or identity to use the app. Your subscriptions, folders, favorites, muted words, playback position, and read/unread state are stored locally on your device.
To show you content, uRSS fetches feeds, podcast episodes, and images directly from the sources you've added. Those publishers may see standard request information such as your IP address and a uRSS user-agent - the same as any feed reader or podcast app. We don't proxy, log, or store those requests.
If you turn on sync, your subscriptions and read state are stored in your own private iCloud account so they stay consistent across your iPhone and iPad. This data is end-to-end controlled by Apple's iCloud and is never visible to us. Turn it off any time to keep everything strictly on-device.
Crash reports are off by default. If you opt in, reports are anonymized and contain no feed content or personal identifiers - only the technical details we need to fix a bug. You can opt out again whenever you like.
You can export your full subscription list as OPML, clear your reading history, or delete all app data from Settings → Privacy. Removing the app removes everything stored on the device. There is no server-side account for us to delete because we never created one.
uRSS is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If we update this policy, we'll revise the date above and note significant changes in the app's release notes.
We're happy to explain anything in plain language.
