Aurore is designed not to need to know you. This page describes exactly what stays on your device and what the server receives.

What never leaves your device

• The list of your sources and your papers.
• Your settings: delivery time, freshness position, hidden keywords.
• What you have read, saved, highlighted or annotated.
• The text of fetched articles, including for offline reading.

Syncing between your devices goes through your own iCloud account. Aurore has no access to it, and no server holding a copy.

There is no account

The app asks for no address, no password, no identifier. There is therefore no profile to tie to a reading history — neither here nor anywhere else.

What the server receives

Two things, and nothing else:

• Directory requests. The app downloads the list of available sources. That request does not say which ones you follow.
• Aggregated, anonymous counters. “This source was opened N times today”, everyone taken together. No device identifier accompanies the send, the counters are capped and folded into a daily total, and article addresses are kept only as a fingerprint. These figures serve to spot dead sources and those nobody uses.

They do not allow anyone to reconstruct what a person read, and that is not a matter of internal policy: the data needed to do so is not collected.

Notifications

The server sends a silent wake-up at fixed hours. It is an empty signal: it does not carry your delivery time, which is never transmitted. It is the app, on your device, that decides whether a paper is due.

No trackers

No ad network, no third-party analytics, no cookie on this site.
