Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 17, 2026

GoSosh is built with the principle that personal data should stay personal. This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect, what we don't, and what we do with anything we touch.

Summary

• We don't have servers. There's nothing for us to "collect."
• The subjects you track and your settings sync through your own iCloud account.
• We do not have analytics, tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or any third-party data collection in this app.
• When you ask GoSosh to find mentions of a subject, the app queries publicly available data sources directly from your device. We never see those queries.

What GoSosh stores

On your device

• The cards, topics, and dashboards you create, plus your app settings (refresh cadence, source toggles).
• Your YouTube Data API key, if you've added one in Settings.
• Your Plus purchase state, as reported by Apple's StoreKit.
• Your app preferences (default cadence, source toggles, onboarding state).

In your private iCloud database (synced across your Apple devices only)

• The same card data above, replicated for cross-device sync.
• We do not have access to your iCloud private database. Only you (and your Apple ID's signed-in devices) can read it.

What GoSosh sends, and where

When the app refreshes a card, it queries public data sources directly from your device. Depending on the card and category, these can include:

• News & web — Google News RSS, RSS feeds from major publishers, and any RSS feeds you add yourself
• Social & community — Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, and X / Twitter, via their public endpoints
• Video — YouTube Data API, authenticated with the API key you provide
• Financial — EDGAR and StockTwits, for stock and company topics

Each request carries only the query for the subject you're tracking — those services see a request from your device the same way they'd see one from your browser. The requests originate from your device; we are not in the path, and we have no log of what you've searched.

One exception: when a feed item arrives with no cover image, just that article's URL is sent to our image-lookup service (api.donbon.com) so the card can show a hero image. That service sees only the URL, never your identity — and you can turn it off in Settings → Image lookup.

What GoSosh does not do

• No analytics or telemetry
• No crash reporting (in this version)
• No advertising or advertising identifiers
• No data sold to third parties
• No data shared with third parties for marketing
• No tracking across other apps or websites
• No location data
• No contacts access
• No camera, microphone, or photo library access

Purchases

GoSosh Plus is a one-time purchase, processed entirely by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your payment method or billing information. Apple handles authentication, billing, and refunds. Because Plus is a one-time purchase, nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.

Third-party services

GoSosh queries these public services on your behalf. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Google News — policies.google.com/privacy
• YouTube — youtube.com/t/privacy
• Apple App Store and StoreKit — apple.com/legal/privacy

When you tap an article or source link, you open it in an in-app Safari View Controller. Apple manages that session; we are not in the loop for what you read.

Children

GoSosh is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, and certainly not from children.

Your rights

You can delete any card or all cards at any time from within the app (Settings → Data → Delete all cards). Deletions sync through iCloud and remove the data from your account. To revoke the YouTube API key, clear it in Settings → Sources → YouTube.

Plus is a one-time purchase, so there is nothing to cancel. Refund requests are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy materially, we'll update the effective date above and surface a notice in the app on next launch.
