Privacy Policy

Nothing. Mental Hum has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. We do not know who you are, what you read, what you save, or what you search.

The news archive, your saved stories, your search text, and your reading preferences all live only on your iPhone, in the app's own storage. Deleting the app deletes them. If you export your clippings, the file is written on your device and goes only where you choose to send it.

To assemble the daily edition, the app contacts the public news feeds of the outlets on its wire list directly · the same way a browser would. Those servers see a standard web request (your IP address and a generic app identifier). The app sends them nothing else, and nothing about you travels through any server of ours · we don't operate any.

When you open a story's original reporting, it opens in an in-app Safari view. From that moment Apple's Safari protections apply, and the outlet's own website · with its own privacy practices · is what you are reading.

When your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence, the short morning brief is written by the phone's own on-device model. The stories it reads and the summary it writes stay on the device · no AI service on the internet is involved, and nothing is sent anywhere. On phones without Apple Intelligence, the brief is a simple headline list assembled by fixed rules. Either way, the answer to “what do you collect” stays: nothing.

Both pages are bundled inside the app and work without any connection. Reading them creates no network traffic at all.

The app collects no data from anyone, children included.

If a future version ever changes any of the above, this page will say so plainly, and the change will be listed in the update notes.
