Privacy Policy

MemoWire is a satirical news app. We've built it to need as little of your data as possible, and to be honest about the little it does use. This policy explains what the app collects, where it's stored, how long we keep it, and how to delete it.

What stays on your device only

You can use MemoWire without an account. Your reading streak, saved cards, reactions, and settings (sound, read-mode, data-saver, notification choice) are stored only on your device in local browser storage. If you sign in with Google, your name, email and profile photo from Google are also stored only on your device — they are not sent to our servers in this version.

What you can choose to send us

Two optional features send a small amount of data to our servers:

• Daily dose alerts (push notifications). If you enable alerts, your browser creates an anonymous push subscription (a device-specific delivery endpoint plus its keys). We store it so we can send you notifications. It doesn't identify you personally.
• Press pass / interests (optional profile). If you fill in the optional "press pass" or interests — any of name, email, phone, age, interests, and approximate location (city/region) — those fields are stored alongside your alert subscription so alerts can be relevant. Every field is optional; leave them blank and nothing personal is sent.

We do not sell your data, run third-party ad trackers, or set advertising cookies.

Anonymous usage counts

To learn what people enjoy, the app records anonymous, aggregate counts — for example how many times a card was viewed, reacted to, or shared, per day. These are counters only: no cookies, no account, no IP addresses, and nothing that identifies you is stored.

Where your data is stored & how long

MemoWire runs on Cloudflare. The push subscription and any optional profile fields are kept in Cloudflare Workers KV, and media in Cloudflare R2, on Cloudflare's global edge network (which may process data in the United States and other countries). The host may keep standard, non-identifying request logs. Retention: anonymous usage counts auto-expire after 120 days; your push subscription and profile fields are kept until you delete your data or turn alerts off (below). When you tap through to a source, you're on the original publisher's site, under their own privacy policy.

AI & satire

MemoWire is satire and commentary for entertainment. Content may be AI-assisted and is labelled accordingly. We are not a source of record; please don't make decisions based on it.

Children

MemoWire is rated 17+ and is not directed at children.

Your control & deletion

Open Profile → Delete my data at any time. This does two things: it unsubscribes you from alerts and removes your push subscription and any optional profile fields (name / email / phone / location) from our servers, and it clears your streak, saved cards and settings from that device — immediately and permanently. You can also just turn off "Daily dose alerts" to remove the push subscription. If you signed in with Google, signing out removes that info from the device.

Changes

If this version adds accounts or cloud features in future, this policy will be updated before those features collect any personal data.
