Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026 · Effective immediately upon installation

Summary: भारत News does not collect, store, or sell any personal data. We do not require account registration. Your language preference is saved only on your device. Geo-detection is used once, at first launch, to suggest a language.

1. Who We Are

भारत News is a free Indian news aggregator application that compiles publicly available RSS feeds from trusted Indian news publishers into a single, multilingual reader. The app supports 18 Indian languages and provides text-to-speech reading functionality.

For privacy questions or data removal requests, contact us at: contact@bharatnews.app

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any of the following:

3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored exclusively in your browser/app's local storage and is never transmitted to our servers:

4. One-Time Geolocation (IP-Based, At First Launch)

On your very first visit (before you've selected a language), the app makes a request to a third-party IP geolocation API to detect your approximate region (State, Country) for the purpose of suggesting a relevant regional language. No precise location (GPS) is ever accessed.

The third-party services used for this one-time detection are:

Once a language is detected or you manually select one, no further geolocation requests are made. The detected language code (not your IP or location) is saved to local storage.

5. RSS Content & Third-Party News Feeds

भारत News aggregates content from publicly available RSS feeds published by third-party news organisations. When you read an article and tap "Full Article", you are redirected to or shown the content from the original publisher's website. These external websites have their own privacy policies and may use tracking technologies.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party news publishers.

6. Text-to-Speech (TTS)

The app uses your device's built-in Web Speech Synthesis API to read articles aloud. This processing occurs entirely on-device. No article text is transmitted to external servers for speech synthesis.

7. Server-Side Caching

Our server caches RSS feed data for up to 5 minutes to reduce load on publisher servers. This cache contains only article headlines, links, and summaries sourced from public RSS feeds — no user data. Server logs may record standard HTTP request information (IP addresses, timestamps) for security and performance monitoring purposes. These logs are retained for up to 30 days.

8. No Advertising

भारत News does not display third-party advertisements and does not integrate any advertising SDKs (including Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network, etc.). There is no behavioral tracking or ad profiling.

9. Children's Privacy

This app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The app contains live news feeds which may include general news topics. The content rating for this app is Everyone. Parents are encouraged to supervise app usage by children.

10. Data Security

Since we do not collect personal data, there is minimal security risk to user data. All communication between the app and our server uses HTTPS encryption. The server caches are purged automatically and contain only public news content.

11. Your Rights (GDPR / DPDP)

Under applicable data protection laws (including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation), you have the right to:

To clear all app data stored on your device: Settings → Apps → भारत News → Clear Data / Clear Storage.

12. Content Disclaimer & DMCA

All news content displayed in this app is sourced from publicly available RSS feeds published by the respective news organisations. All article content, trademarks, and logos remain the intellectual property of their respective owners.

भारत News is an independent news aggregator and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any news publisher featured in the app.

DMCA / Copyright Takedown Requests: If you are a content owner and wish to have your feed removed from this app, please contact us at contact@bharatnews.app with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Request". We will process all valid takedown requests within 5 business days.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
