Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to NewsExpress, a mobile application developed and published by Mohd Rijvan Khan Mogia under the IndianAI platform on Google Play. This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to information that may be collected, used, or disclosed in connection with your use of the NewsExpress application ("App") and this accompanying website ("Site").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please do not use the App.

We are committed to handling any information responsibly and transparently. This policy is written in plain language so you understand exactly what to expect.

2. Information We May Collect

The NewsExpress App is primarily a content-delivery application. Its core function — displaying 60-word news summaries — does not inherently require the collection of personal information. However, certain technical and operational information may be collected depending on how the App functions and which third-party services are integrated.

a. User-Provided Information

The App does not currently include registration, login, or account creation features. As a result, we do not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, email address, or password through the App itself.

If you contact us through the contact form on this website, the information you enter (name, email, message) is processed client-side only and is not automatically transmitted to a server unless you initiate it explicitly (e.g., by email). Please refer to our Contact page for details.

b. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically through the Android operating system or integrated third-party services. This may include:

• Usage patterns such as which news categories or articles are accessed
• Crash reports and error logs generated automatically when the App encounters a problem
• Session information, including approximate time and duration of use
• In-app interaction data (e.g., scrolling behavior, feature usage) if analytics tools are active

We use this information to understand how the App is being used and to improve stability and performance. This information is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you.

c. Device and Technical Information

Third-party services embedded in the App (such as analytics or crash reporting services) may automatically collect device-level information, which can include:

• Device model, manufacturer, and operating system version
• Unique device identifiers (such as an advertising ID), where applicable
• Network type (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and general connectivity information
• App version installed

This technical information helps us ensure compatibility and diagnose issues across a range of Android devices.

3. How We Use Information

Any information collected — whether directly or through third-party services — may be used for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the App and its features
• To diagnose technical issues, bugs, and crashes
• To understand user engagement patterns and improve content presentation
• To ensure the App functions correctly across different Android devices and OS versions
• To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade any user information to third parties for their independent marketing or commercial purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

NewsExpress may integrate or rely on third-party services to deliver its functionality. These services have their own privacy policies and may independently collect and process information in accordance with their own terms. These services may include:

• Google Play Services — Required for distributing the App through the Google Play Store. Google's privacy practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• News API Providers — The App may fetch news content from third-party news APIs or news aggregation services. These providers supply the content displayed in the App. We do not control how these providers collect or process data on their end.
• Analytics Services — We may use a crash reporting or analytics service (such as Firebase by Google) to collect anonymized, aggregated usage data. If so, the respective provider's privacy policy will govern the data collected through that service.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services that the App relies upon.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect information associated with the App. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The App does not transmit sensitive personal data (such as financial information, passwords, or government ID numbers) and is not designed or intended for such use. If you believe that your information has been mishandled, please contact us immediately.

6. Children's Privacy

NewsExpress is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used this App in a way that has resulted in the collection of their personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. Aggregated, anonymized usage data collected through third-party analytics tools may be retained according to that provider's retention policies.

Since the App does not require account registration, there is no user-specific profile data stored by us on our own servers.

8. External Links

The App may display or link to news articles or websites hosted by third-party publishers. These external destinations are not under our control and are governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any external sites or services you visit through links in the App.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit before providing any personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's functionality, applicable laws, or our practices. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle information. Continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
