Aura ("we") respects and protects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information and your rights.
To provide account and sync services, we collect and store: account information (email, username, password stored in encrypted form, optional avatar); for sync and multi-device use we store your subscription list, saved articles, reading progress (read state), and any filter rules you set. When you sign in with Apple, we only receive the email and name you choose to share (if you authorize). We do not sell your personal information and do not collect device identifiers or detailed activity logs.
This information is used to: create and verify accounts, sync subscriptions and reading data, improve our products and services, and meet legal and regulatory requirements. Data is stored in a secure environment with reasonable technical and administrative safeguards.
We use third-party services to process data: cloud hosting and databases (for account and subscription data), object storage (for article content and avatars). If you use AI summary features, the relevant text is processed by a third-party AI provider. These services are subject to their own privacy policies. We do not sell or transfer your personal information to unrelated third parties without your consent.
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data. Some features depend on necessary data; deleting or refusing to provide it may affect service availability.
We may update this policy from time to time; material changes will be communicated via the app or website. If you have questions, please contact us through the app or our website.
