The Short Version
Stocks News is made by FuturaApp, Inc. (“we”). It brings you news about the stocks you follow, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no account and no sign-in. We don’t collect your personal data. To show the news, the app asks our news provider for stories about the stocks, topics and words you choose, and those requests never include your name, email, or a device or advertising identifier. Your watchlists and saved articles stay on your devices and in your own private iCloud. AI summaries are written on your device. Stocks News has no advertising, tracking or analytics code.
What Leaves Your Device
To load news, Stocks News sends our news provider only what each screen needs: the stock symbols in your watchlist or of a stock you open, a topic you pick, the words you search for, or a request for the Evening Brief, Top Stories, Trending or market events. These requests contain no name, account, email, or device or advertising identifier. Like any request over the internet, they carry your network (IP) address and basic technical details, such as the app and system version and your language. Pictures in stories load from the servers that host them, mostly our news provider’s. The list of company names and stock symbols the app uses to find stocks is a public file on Amazon Web Services. The app checks for a new copy about once a day, and that request carries nothing about you beyond those basics.
Our News Provider
Stocks News gets its news from a third-party financial news provider. It receives only the requests described above, including those for the story pictures it hosts, which it needs to send back the matching stories and pictures. We don’t share your data with anyone else, and we never sell it or share it with advertisers or data brokers.
Reading Articles
Articles open on the publisher’s own website: on iPhone and iPad in a Safari view inside the app, and on Mac in your default browser. Stocks News can’t see what you read or do on the page, and the publisher’s own privacy policy applies. When you share a story, you choose where it goes.
Runs Only on Your Device
AI summaries and “why it’s trending” are written on your iPhone, iPad or Mac by Apple Intelligence, from the news the app loads. Listen reads stories aloud with your device’s built-in voices. No article text or summary is sent to us or to any AI service.
What Stocks News Stores, and Where
Your watchlists (their names and stocks) and saved articles (such as each story’s link, headline, source and a short excerpt) are kept on your device and, if iCloud is on, in your own private iCloud account, so they appear on your other devices. They stay until you delete them. Apple runs iCloud, and we can’t see your iCloud data. Your settings and a few counters, like your reminder time, when you last caught up and how often you open the app and save stories, stay on each device. To load faster, the app may keep recent story pictures in a temporary cache. Apart from that and the coded record below, which starts over each day, Stocks News keeps no history of what you read.
Keeping Free Articles Fair
To count your free articles and your free AI period, Stocks News keeps a small record in your device’s Keychain: how many free articles you’ve read, and on which day; coded fingerprints of the articles you opened today, so opening one again doesn’t count twice; when you got your first AI summary; whether you were subscribed when the app last checked; after a purchase or renewal, until the App Store confirms it on your device, its transaction number, renewal date and the time it arrived; a one-time note that your watchlists are set up; and a random installation number that never leaves the device. This record contains no name, email or account, stays on that device (it isn’t synced through iCloud Keychain), and remains if you delete and reinstall the app.
Notifications
The Evening Brief reminder is a local notification, scheduled on your device for the time you pick, Monday to Friday. It only invites you to read the brief and never mentions your stocks. We have no push server and send you nothing. Apple’s push service is used only so iCloud can tell your devices that your own data changed.
Purchases
Stocks News Premium is sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase. Apple gives the app your subscription’s own details, such as its transaction number and renewal date, which stay on your device. It never gives the app your payment details, name or Apple Account email. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings, and refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Ratings and Crash Reports
Stocks News may ask Apple to show its standard rating prompt. If you’ve chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may share crash reports with us, and we use them only to fix bugs.
No Tracking
Stocks News contains no third-party analytics, crash-reporting, advertising or tracking code. It doesn’t use the advertising identifier or App Tracking Transparency, and it doesn’t build a profile of you.
If You Email Us
If you write to us, we receive your message and email address. We use them only to answer you, and we delete them if you ask.
Children
Stocks News is not directed at children and doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, of any age.
Deleting Your Data
To remove a saved article, touch and hold it in Saved and choose Remove from Saved (on Mac, right-click it). To delete a watchlist, swipe it left in Manage Watchlists (on Mac, right-click it); your only list can’t be deleted, but you can remove its stocks. With iCloud on, deletions reach all your devices. On iPhone and iPad, deleting Stocks News removes what it stored on that device, except the Keychain record described above. On Mac, moving the app to the Trash doesn’t delete its data or its Keychain record; write to us and we’ll walk you through removing them. To clear what remains in iCloud, delete the app’s data in your iCloud storage settings. Apart from emails you send us, we don’t receive your data, so there’s nothing else for us to delete, but you’re always welcome to ask us at support@futuraapp.com.
