Feedboard for iOS · Last updated 19 September 2026
The short version: Feedboard has no account, no server of mine reading along, no analytics and no advertising. What you read stays on your device. The long version follows — it is long because an app that fetches things from the internet necessarily opens connections, and you should know to whom.
No data protection officer has been appointed; the conditions requiring one are not met.
Your feeds, sections, read and saved articles, muted words and every setting live in a database on your device. I have no access to it. There is no user account, no sign-in and no identifier that would make you recognisable.
Feedboard contains no analytics, no third-party crash reporting, no ad networks and no tracking in the sense of App Tracking Transparency. No advertising identifier is read and no profile is built.
The app fetches the feeds you added directly — there is no intermediate server of mine involved and I learn nothing about it. Technically this also means the publisher sees your device's request: your IP address, the time, and the app's identifier. This is no different from visiting any website. What a publisher does with that is governed by their privacy policy, over which I have no influence.
The same applies to loading full text and to images inside articles: the device fetches both straight from the source.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — without these connections the app cannot do what it is for.
When you add a public Telegram channel, the device fetches its public preview page on
t.me — the same page any browser shows without signing in. No Telegram API is used,
no credentials are transmitted, and the app holds no Telegram account. Telegram sees your IP
address, as it would for any other page view.
By default Feedboard fetches a source's icon from the source itself; no third
party learns anything. Settings offer Google's favicon service as a fallback instead. If you turn
that on, every icon that cannot be found locally causes a request to google.com
carrying the website's name and your IP address, to Google LLC in the USA. This setting is the
only place where Feedboard involves a third party of its own accord, and it stays off unless you
switch it on yourself (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, withdrawable at any time by switching back to
From the website only or Off).
Both run entirely on the device, using the models Apple ships with iOS (Foundation Models and the Translation framework). No article text is transmitted to me, to an AI provider or anywhere else, and no third-party key is involved. For a new language pair, iOS downloads a language pack from Apple once; that is an operating system function and is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Syncing between your devices is off by default. If you turn it on, the app stores its data in the private database of your own iCloud account. The data travels between your devices, not through me: I have no access to that area whatsoever. Apple is responsible for the storage in iCloud, under Apple's terms and privacy policy. Legal basis is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; you withdraw it by switching sync off again.
This includes the permission for silent background notifications: iCloud uses them to tell the device that new data exists. No promotional or alert notifications are sent through it.
If you send me a message via Settings › Send feedback, the following is transmitted:
The message passes through a service run by Cloudflare, which delivers it via Resend as an email to my mailbox at Google Mail. All three process the data on my behalf; the transfer to the USA relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. The sole purpose is handling your request — there is no further evaluation and no disclosure beyond it. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, my legitimate interest in fixing faults and answering enquiries; where you provide contact details, also Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
I delete such messages once the matter is settled, at the latest after twelve months.
Payment is handled solely by Apple. I receive neither your name nor address nor payment details, only a statement of totals. The app merely asks the operating system whether a purchase completed. Apple's privacy policy applies to the purchase itself.
If you choose an image as a mark for a section, the app requests photo permission. The chosen image is stored on the device only and is never transmitted anywhere. The app does not access the rest of your photo library.
The page you are reading embeds nothing external — no fonts from foreign servers, no scripts, no tracking pixels — and sets no cookies. When you open it, my host (Oracle Cloud) processes the usual server log data, including your IP address, to operate the site and fend off attacks; legal basis Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21 GDPR), and the right to withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future. Please use the contact details above.
In practice this concerns only messages you send me — the data in your app and your iCloud is none of my business to begin with. You can delete it yourself, completely and without going through me: remove the app from the device, and, if you used iCloud sync, additionally delete Feedboard's data in system settings under Apple Account › iCloud › Manage.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the country where you live.
When the app changes, this policy changes with it. The version published here is the one that applies; the date is at the top of the page.
