Privacy Policy — NewsButton

Last updated: 20 July 2026

NewsButton ("the app") is an independent app developed by Sagar Chapagain ("we", "us"). This policy explains how the app handles your information. In short: NewsButton needs no account, collects nothing, and keeps your reading preferences on your device.

Information we collect

None. NewsButton needs no account or sign-in. We do not collect, store, share, or sell any personal information.

What the app connects to

Headlines come from each publisher's own public RSS feed, fetched directly by your device. Article thumbnails and most source logos are fetched the same way — from the publisher's own servers, or the content-delivery network that publisher uses. A few source logos ship inside the app itself, so showing those needs no connection at all.

The app also lists a number of Nepali share-market websites that publish no feed. Nothing is fetched from them in the background; they are links, and tapping one opens that site in the app's built-in browser.

So whenever the app fetches a feed or an image, and whenever you open an article or one of those listed sites, your device connects to that site directly. As with any web request, that site receives standard network data such as your IP address. That traffic is governed by each site's own privacy policy, and none of it reaches us — there is no NewsButton server in between.

The one page the app opens that is ours rather than a publisher's is this policy, reachable from the app's More screen. It is a plain static page: no cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts.

Your preferences and saved stories

Reading preferences kept by the app — such as your theme, the order of your sources, and stories you save to read later — are stored only on your device. They are not uploaded to us or to any server, and you can remove them at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

Content belongs to the publishers

Headlines, summaries, images, and publisher logos shown in the app belong to their respective publishers, and each is credited to its source. NewsButton links to the original articles and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official product of any news outlet.

Third-party services

NewsButton contains no ads and does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. If a future version introduces any such service, this policy will be updated to describe exactly what it collects before that version is released.

Data retention & deletion

Your preferences and saved stories live on your device. Deleting the app, or clearing its data in your device settings, permanently removes them. Pages you open in the app's built-in browser may leave cookies or site data on your device, exactly as they would in any browser; clearing the app's data removes those too.

Children's privacy

NewsButton is a general-audience news reader. It is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children.

Security

NewsButton has no accounts and no server of its own. Your preferences are protected by your device's own protections, and feed requests travel directly between your device and the publishers.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
