Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Our Commitment

Current is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your reading habits are personal and should remain private. This policy explains how we handle your data.

What We Don't Collect

Current does not include any analytics, tracking, or telemetry. We have no way to know:

  • What feeds you subscribe to
  • What articles you read
  • How you use the app
  • Your reading habits or preferences

Data Storage

Local Data

All your data is stored locally on your device:

  • Feed subscriptions
  • Article content and cache
  • Reading progress and preferences
  • Currents and organization

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use a sync service.

Sync Services

If you choose to connect a sync service (Feedbin, Newsblur, Miniflux, etc.), data is shared between Current and that service:

  • Subscriptions sync bidirectionally
  • Read state syncs bidirectionally
  • Starred/saved articles sync

Current communicates directly with your chosen sync service. We never see or store your sync credentials or synced data.

Network Requests

Current makes network requests only for:

  • Fetching RSS/Atom feeds from the sources you subscribe to
  • Downloading article content for reading
  • Syncing with your sync service (if connected)
  • Checking for app updates via the App Store

Third-Party Services

When you subscribe to a feed, Current fetches content directly from that source. The source may log these requests. Current itself does not share your information with any third parties.

iCloud Backup

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, app data may be included in your backups. This is controlled by your iOS settings, not by Current.

Children's Privacy

Current does not knowingly collect any personal information. The app is suitable for users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be noted in app update notes.
