Privacy Policy — Sparrowhawk

Last Updated: May 17, 2026[cite: 2]

Our Commitment

Blackpiranha is committed to your privacy[cite: 2]. We believe that an RSS reader should be a personal tool, not a data collection instrument[cite: 2].

Data Collection

Sparrowhawk does not collect or transmit any of your personal or sensitive user information to external servers.[cite: 2]

The app does not collect personal identifiers (such as name, email, or phone number), device identifiers, or location data[cite: 2]. All core data is handled exclusively on your device[cite: 2]:

  • Feed Subscriptions: URLs of the RSS/Atom feeds you follow[cite: 2].
  • Reading History: Articles read or bookmarked[cite: 2].
  • App Settings: Theme preferences, layout options, and typography configurations[cite: 2].

Data Processing

All data processing and article caching occurs locally on your device via a private Room database[cite: 2]. Direct network requests are made solely to fetch content from the feed providers you subscribe to, with no intermediary tracking servers[cite: 2].

Data Deletion

You retain complete control over your data[cite: 2]: * In-App: Delete individual feeds or wipe reading history inside the settings screen[cite: 2]. * System Settings: Clear storage at any time via Android Settings > Apps > Sparrowhawk > Storage > Clear Data[cite: 2]. * Uninstallation: Removing the application permanently deletes all local databases and cached records[cite: 2].

Third-Party Services

Sparrowhawk does not include any third-party analytics SDKs, trackers, or advertising frameworks[cite: 2].
