Privacy Policy

World Pulse · Effective 13 June 2026

World Pulse is a global news app built around an interactive globe. We keep data collection to a minimum. This policy explains what is processed and why.

No account, no profile

You can use World Pulse without registering. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number, and we do not build an advertising profile of you.

Data stored only on your device

Your saved articles (favourites), chosen language, colour theme and server address are stored locally on your device and are never sent to us.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

We show ads through Google AdMob. To serve ads, Google may process your device's advertising identifier, coarse signals and app interactions. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland we ask for your consent (via Google's consent form) before any personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice anytime from Settings → Privacy options. See Google's partner policy and privacy policy. You can remove all ads with the optional subscription.

Purchases

The ad-free subscription is processed by Google Play Billing. Payment details are handled by Google; we only receive whether your subscription is active.

Usage statistics

We collect aggregate, anonymous usage events to understand how the app is used: which topics and countries are viewed, search terms, the time of requests and the interface language. These first-party events are not linked to your identity and we do not store your IP address or any device identifier with them.

We also use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure aggregate usage such as active users, retention, app version and approximate geographic region. Analytics collection only starts after you give consent (in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland) and you can change your choice anytime from Settings → Privacy options. Google processes this data as described in its privacy policy; see also Firebase privacy and how Google uses Analytics data.

Third-party services

To provide content we contact: news sources (RSS/Google News), Open-Meteo (weather), the World Bank (economic indicators) and Google's translation endpoint (headline/summary translation). These receive only the technical request needed (e.g. coordinates for weather), not your identity.

Data retention & your rights

Anonymous statistics are kept only in aggregate. Because we hold no personal account data, there is nothing personal to export or delete on our side; local data is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its storage. For ad-related data, use the in-app privacy options or your device's ad settings.

Children

World Pulse is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date above will change accordingly.
