Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025
Overview

RSS Ninja is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle data when you use our Firefox browser extension.

The short version: Your data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or sell your personal information.
Data Storage

RSS Ninja stores all your data locally in your browser using Firefox's built-in storage APIs:

Feed subscriptions - The RSS/Atom feeds you subscribe to
Categories - How you organise your feeds
Read states - Which articles you've read
Starred articles - Articles you've saved
Preferences - Your view mode and theme settings


This data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly export it.
What We Don't Collect

We do not collect:

Your browsing history
The feeds you subscribe to
The articles you read
Analytics or tracking data
Personal information of any kind


Network Requests

RSS Ninja makes network requests only to:

Fetch RSS/Atom feeds - Directly from the feed URLs you provide
Authentication - To our auth server (rssninja.co.uk) when you sign in


We do not proxy your feed requests through our servers. Your browser fetches feeds directly from their sources.
Authentication

When you create an account, we store minimal information required for authentication:

Email address
Display name (if provided)
Account creation date


This information is stored securely and is never shared with third parties.
Cookies

RSS Ninja uses session cookies solely for authentication purposes. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics.
Third-Party Services

RSS Ninja does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

You can delete all your local data at any time by:

Using the export/clear function in the extension
