Canada News, a product of VTBeyond ("we", "our", or "us"), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our news aggregation application.
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information, including but not limited to:
Some stories show one-tap reactions. To keep each reader to one reaction per story, the app creates a random ID on the device the first time it is needed. That ID is not your name, email, phone number, or advertising ID. The app sends it only with reaction requests, and we store it only together with the reaction you choose. We do not use it to identify you, build a profile, or sell it. If you never react, we do not store the ID. Removing a reaction deletes your choice for that story. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data starts a new ID; existing totals stay anonymous.
Our app may automatically collect non-personal technical information, including:
Our app aggregates news from various Canadian news sources. When you click on an article, you may be directed to the original publisher's website, which has its own privacy policy.
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. You can learn more at:
Our backend is hosted on Railway. Server logs may include IP addresses and request timestamps for security and performance monitoring. These logs are not used to identify individual users.
The limited technical information we collect is used solely to:
We do not store names, contact details, or device hardware identifiers. News articles are cached temporarily (12-24 hours) to improve performance. Reaction totals, and the anonymous reaction ID described above, are stored so a reader can have one reaction per story and so everyone can see the totals. Rate limiting may hold an IP address in server memory for a short time. Those addresses are not saved with reactions.
Our app does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app is designed for general news consumption and does not require user accounts or personal information.
You can change or remove your reaction in the app. Because the reaction ID is random and not tied to your identity, we cannot look up a reaction from your name or email. If you have concerns about third-party services (like AdMob), please refer to their respective privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
