The short version
SM RSS Reader has no advertising, no behavioral tracking, and no SM RSS Reader account. The app is designed to keep your reading activity on your devices and, when you choose to enable iCloud Sync, within your Apple iCloud account.
Simple by design.

Privacy Policy
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE]
No advertising or tracking
SM RSS Reader does not contain an advertising system and is not designed to build advertising or behavioral profiles about its users.
No SM RSS Reader account
You do not need to create an account with SM RSS Reader to use the app.
Feed requests
Your device connects directly to feed publishers to download RSS/Atom feeds and article resources. Those publishers and their network providers may receive ordinary technical information associated with a network request, such as your IP address.
Article images and remote content
When Article Images are enabled, the app may request images hosted by publishers or other content providers. Those servers may receive the ordinary technical information associated with those requests. Those third-party servers have their own privacy practices.
Local storage
Articles, downloaded content, search data, caches, refresh history, and other device-specific information are stored locally on your device.
iCloud Sync
If you enable iCloud Sync, SM RSS Reader uses Apple’s iCloud services to synchronize supported information, including feed and folder structure, read/starred status, and selected reading preferences. Article inventory, downloaded article content, images, feed refresh results, and most device-specific settings are not synchronized as part of this mechanism. Each device refreshes feeds and downloads articles independently. The iCloud Sync switch is enabled independently on each device.
No sale of personal information
SM RSS Reader does not sell your personal information.
Data retention and deletion
Analytics
SM RSS Reader does not intentionally include third-party advertising or behavioral analytics services.

The owner of SM RSS Reader has not added Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising trackers, behavioral analytics, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking scripts to this website. The hosting provider may process limited technical information needed to deliver, secure, and operate the site.
