Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

The short version. We collect only what the app needs to work: your sign-in email, the preferences you choose, and which stories you open so your briefing gets better. We don’t show ads, don’t track you across other apps or websites, and never sell or share your information for advertising. You can delete your account and its data from inside the app at any time.

This policy explains how Eagle CTI (“Eagle CTI”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Eagle CTI iPhone app (the “App”), the website eaglecti.app, and the emails we send. Eagle CTI is operated by the developer listed on the App Store. Questions: [email protected].

1. Information we collect

Account information

Guest ID. When you first open the App we create an anonymous account with a random identifier so your preferences have somewhere to live. It isn’t linked to your name or email.
Email address, if you sign in with email. We use it to send your sign-in code, the alert emails you turn on, and replies to feedback you ask us to answer.
Sign in with Apple. Apple shares a unique identifier and, if you allow it, your email (which can be a private relay address) and your name. We store your first name only to greet you in the App.

Information you give us

Personalization: your first name, security experience level, role and topics of interest (all optional).
Alerts: the names, keywords and sources you set, and how you want to be notified.
Feedback: the message you send, your app version and phone model, and your email if you ask for a reply.

Information collected as you use the App

Reading activity: which stories you open and which you mark as read. This ranks your Home briefing and shows read/unread status.
Alert matches: which stories matched your alerts and when we notified you.
Push token: if you allow notifications, a token that lets us send alerts to your device.
Subscription status: whether your subscription is active and when it renews or ends. Payment is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card or payment details.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, browsing history outside the App, or advertising identifiers. There are no third-party advertising or analytics tools in the App. When you open an article, it loads from the publisher’s website, and that publisher’s own privacy policy applies to what happens on their site.

2. How we use information

To run the App: sign you in, keep your preferences, and unlock your subscription.
To personalize your briefing based on your interests and the stories you open.
To send the alerts you set up, by push notification and/or email.
To answer support requests and feedback, fix bugs and improve the App.
To prevent abuse and keep the service secure.

We don’t use your information for advertising, and we don’t sell or rent it to anyone.

3. Service providers

We use a small number of providers to run the App. They process data only on our behalf and under their own security and privacy commitments:

Provider	What they do	Data involved
Supabase	Database, sign-in and servers (hosted in the United States)	All account and app data above
Apple	Sign in with Apple, payments, push notification delivery	Apple identifier, purchase records, push token
RevenueCat	Subscription management	Your account ID, purchase and subscription records
Expo	Push notification delivery	Push token and notification content
Resend	Sending sign-in codes and alert emails	Email address and email content
Anthropic	Writing AI summaries of news articles	Public article text only. None of your personal data
Cloudflare	Hosting this website	Standard web request data (e.g. IP address)

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public, or as part of a sale or transfer of the App, in which case this policy continues to apply.

4. How long we keep it

Story-open history: 180 days.
Alert match history: 90 days.
Everything else (account, preferences, alerts, read marks, feedback): until you delete your account.
Push tokens are removed when a device stops accepting notifications or your account is deleted.

5. Your choices and rights

Delete your account: Account → Delete account in the App. This permanently deletes your account and all associated data from our systems. (It doesn’t cancel an Apple subscription. Cancel that in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.)
Edit your preferences any time in Account → Personalization.
Notifications: turn alerts or email off per alert in the App, use the unsubscribe link in any alert email, or disable notifications in iOS Settings.
Access, correction, deletion or a copy of your data: email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have additional rights, such as the right to object to or restrict processing or to complain to a data protection authority. We process your information to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract) and, for security and improvement, our legitimate interests. We don’t sell or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

6. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest, access is restricted per account, and we keep the data we collect to a minimum. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

7. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

8. International users

Our servers are in the United States. By using the App, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States.

9. Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the App or by email.
