What PetalFeed does with data

Data collected by Doxie Media: No personal data. Only when you connect or stay signed in to Bluesky does a Doxie Media service at petalfeed.io receive anything: the address of your Bluesky sign-in server, and your IP address as with any web request. It never receives your account, posts or reading.
Analytics and tracking: None. No analytics or advertising code, and no tracking across apps or websites.
Network access: PetalFeed connects to the sites and services you add: feeds, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, YouTube and your sync service, and YouTube videos play in YouTube’s own player. Those services receive those requests. Two more: when you connect or stay signed in to Bluesky, PetalFeed asks a small Doxie Media service at petalfeed.io to sign the request, and that service receives only the address of your Bluesky sign-in server (plus, as with any web request, your IP address), never your account, posts or reading. When you search for a site in Discover, the web address you type is sent to feedsearch.dev, a feed-finding service, to find its feed.
Where your information is kept: Articles, reading history and settings are stored on your device. Account details for Mastodon, Bluesky and sync services are kept in the device Keychain.
Permissions: Notifications, asked once after setup, for reminders such as reconnecting Bluesky or your free trial ending. Nothing else beyond the accounts you choose to connect.
