WristFeed Privacy Policy
Who operates WristFeed
WristFeed is published by Morphantic, an independent app-publishing label operated by Wes Lagarde. Questions about this policy can be sent to weslagarde@gmail.com.
No account or WristFeed cloud service
WristFeed does not require or offer an account, login, membership, or subscription. It does not send app data to a WristFeed API or developer-operated database.
You can optionally authorize your own Reddit or Google account directly with that provider to add Reddit or YouTube as a source. These are provider connections, not WristFeed accounts.
Sources, mix and pacing settings, saved items, muted authors or sources, and short metadata feed cards are stored in the private app containers on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Provider access and refresh tokens are stored in the iPhone Keychain with this-device-only protection and are not sent to the Watch.
Paired-device synchronization
The iPhone and Apple Watch apps use Apple WatchConnectivity to exchange a bounded copy of your sources, settings, recent saved items, and short metadata cards between your paired devices. OAuth tokens are never copied to the Watch. Morphantic does not receive this paired-device transfer.
Provider and publisher requests
When you authorize or refresh Reddit, your iPhone contacts Reddit directly for OAuth and a bounded authenticated home listing. When you authorize or refresh YouTube, your iPhone contacts Google directly for OAuth, your channel subscriptions, and recent uploads from those channels. YouTube does not expose its proprietary Home recommendations through its public API. Reddit and Google can receive ordinary request and account information under their own privacy policies.
When you add or refresh an RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed, your device contacts that publisher directly over HTTPS. The publisher can receive ordinary request information such as your IP address, request time, device networking information, and the feed URL under its own privacy policy. WristFeed does not proxy, receive, or retain those requests or responses on a Morphantic server.
WristFeed stores only short attributed metadata previews and canonical links from these sources. It does not stream or cache third-party images, audio, video, full articles, full Reddit posts, or comments. Reddit posts and YouTube videos open through their canonical provider links; publisher stories open in a compatible app or an in-app Safari page according to the destination preference you choose. WristFeed does not insert sample cards when a real source is empty or unavailable.
Tracking, analytics, and advertising
The shipping privacy manifests declare no data collected by WristFeed and no tracking domains. WristFeed includes no advertising SDK, analytics SDK, cross-app tracking, or App Tracking Transparency prompt. Morphantic does not sell personal information.
Retention, export, and deletion
Reddit and YouTube metadata is deleted or refreshed within 30 days. Other local data remains until you remove it. Use Export Local Data in iPhone Settings to create a JSON copy.
Removing a connected provider deletes its local OAuth credential and provider metadata. WristFeed also attempts to revoke the provider grant; if the provider cannot be reached, local deletion still completes and the app tells you how to revoke the grant in the provider account settings.
Use Delete all local WristFeed data to clear local provider credentials, sources, settings, saved items, and cached items on that iPhone. A paired Watch keeps its own local copy until it receives the reset snapshot, is separately reset, or the app is removed there. Remove provider connections or use the in-app deletion control before uninstalling if you also want Keychain credentials and remote grants cleared.
Security
WristFeed accepts only HTTPS feed URLs, rejects local-network and loopback addresses, blocks redirects to disallowed destinations, limits response size, and disables XML external-entity resolution. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.
Changes and contact
This policy will be updated when WristFeed data handling changes. Privacy, export, deletion, and support questions can be sent to weslagarde@gmail.com.
