EXTRAEXTRA / PRIVACY
Your reading.
Your business.
Our promise: ExtraExtra has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We don’t collect, receive or sell any data about you. Everything you set up in the app stays on your phone.
What stays on your device
To work, the app keeps the following in its private storage on your phone. It is never sent to us.
- The news sources you add, the spaces you create and which sources you’ve turned off
- Articles you save, and a list of articles you’ve opened (used to move stories you’ve read further down)
- A cache of recent headlines, article text and images, so the app opens quickly and saved articles work offline
- Display preferences such as text size
The home screen widgets read the same on-device data.
Connections to news sites
ExtraExtra loads news directly from the websites of the publishers you follow. When it fetches a feed, an article or an image, your phone connects to that publisher’s server, as any web browser would. The publisher can see standard connection information such as your IP address and a browser-style user agent. Their handling of that information is covered by their own privacy policies. ExtraExtra doesn’t send any of your settings, reading history or other personal information to them.
When you choose to open an article on the publisher’s site, it opens in your browser’s in-app view, where your browser’s and the website’s own policies apply.
Sharing
If you tap Share, the article’s title and link are passed to the app you pick from Android’s share menu. Nothing is shared unless you do this.
What we don’t do
- We don’t collect personal information, location, contacts, or device identifiers.
- We don’t use advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services.
- We don’t sell or share data with anyone, because we don’t have any.
Deleting your data
Because your data only exists on your phone, you control it completely. Remove sources and spaces in the app, or delete everything by clearing the app’s storage in Android Settings or uninstalling the app.
Children
ExtraExtra is a general news app and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and its effective date. If the app ever starts collecting data, we’ll say so here before it does.
