Privacy Policy

Overview

NewsBite ("we", "us") is a news aggregation and discovery platform. We do not produce news content. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using NewsBite, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Usage data: Pages visited, filters applied, and general interaction patterns (via standard analytics, if enabled).
• Local storage: Articles you select for AI summarization are stored in your browser's local storage only — not on our servers unless you explicitly use a server-side feature.
• AI summarization: When you generate a summary, article titles and descriptions are sent to Google Gemini or OpenAI APIs to produce the summary. We do not store these requests beyond what is needed to complete the request.
• Server logs: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamps) for security and debugging.

What we do not collect

• We do not require account registration to browse headlines.
• We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
• We do not claim ownership of news content displayed on the site.

Third-party services

NewsBite links to external publisher websites. When you click a headline, you leave NewsBite and are subject to that publisher's privacy policy. We also use third-party AI APIs (Google Gemini, OpenAI) for optional summarization features. Those providers have their own data policies.

Cookies

NewsBite may use essential cookies for site functionality. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly.

Data retention

Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Local storage data (selected articles) remains in your browser until you clear it. We do not maintain long-term databases of your reading history.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold. Contact us at privacy@newsbite.app for any privacy-related request.

Children

NewsBite is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of NewsBite after changes constitutes acceptance.
