Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address, your name (if the provider shares it), and a unique account identifier. If you use Sign in with Apple’s “Hide My Email,” we receive a private relay address instead of your real email.
• Your preferences. The sections you choose and the YouTube channels you follow, so we can build your daily edition.
• Notifications.If you enable notifications, a device push token so we can send the once-a-day “new edition” notification.
• Diagnostics.Crash reports, error logs, app-performance data, and session replays — recordings of on-screen content and interactions, captured for any session with an error and a small sample of others — that help us diagnose problems. Personal details such as your email are masked in replays. Sift includes no analytics or advertising SDKs.

How we use your information

We use the information above to:

• build and personalize your daily edition and remember your preferences;
• sign you in and keep your account secure;
• send the daily edition notification, if you’ve enabled it;
• diagnose crashes and improve reliability; and
• protect Sift and its users against abuse.

We do not sell your information, show you ads, or track you across other apps or websites.

Service providers

We share information with providers that operate Sift on our behalf, under their own privacy and security terms:

• Google Firebase — sign-in, database, hosting, and notification delivery.
• Apple — Sign in with Apple.
• Sentry — crash, error, and session-replay reporting.
• Expo (EAS) — push notification delivery, performance metrics, and app updates.

Content from other services

Sift displays YouTube content from the channels you choose to follow. Your use of that content is governed by YouTube’s own terms and privacy policy.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your account data until you delete your account. You can delete your account at any time in the app under Account → Delete Account. Deletion permanently removes your data from our systems and, for Apple sign-in, revokes Sift’s access to your Apple ID. Diagnostic data held by our providers is retained for their standard periods.

Children

Sift is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Security

We rely on Google Firebase’s infrastructure and industry-standard measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the effective date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app.
