Privacy Policy

When you create an account, we store your email address and a password hash — passwords are hashed with argon2 and never stored or logged in plain text. Signing in sets an httpOnly session cookie that expires after 30 days; it can't be read by scripts running on the page.

That's the complete list: email, password hash, and session cookies. We don't ask for a name, payment details, or any profile information beyond what's needed to sign you in.

overfeed.news is free to read and paid for by advertising. Ads are served by Google AdSense, and traffic is measured with Google Analytics. Both are Google products, and both can set cookies in your browser and receive your IP address along with the pages you open here.

Neither one writes cookies before you allow it: both start with storage denied through Google Consent Mode, and your choice in the cookie notice decides what is released. Readers on the Pro plan see no ads at all — for them the AdSense script is never loaded.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The site also shows ads for other products from Privum, the company that publishes it. Those ads are fixed: they use no cookies and do not depend on your browsing history.

We don't sell, rent, or share your account data with anyone, and your email and password hash never leave our servers. We don't build advertising profiles ourselves, and what you save or follow is never used to target ads.

The cookies we set ourselves are the session cookie described above and the ones that remember the language and theme you chose. Once you consent, Google may set its own cookies for advertising and measurement; you can change or withdraw that consent at any time under “Cookie preferences”, in the footer of every page. Your choice is stored in your browser, not on our servers. Account data is kept for as long as your account exists and is deleted when you close it.

For account deletion requests, content concerns, or questions about this policy, write to [email protected].
