Privacy Policy

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

SIXY is operated by Webavio (“Webavio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the SIXY applications for iOS or Android, the SIXY service, and the website at sixy.webavio.tech.

2. Information we do not ask you to provide

SIXY does not require account registration. The current version of the app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, precise location, photos, camera, microphone, or advertising identifier.

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs, behavioral advertising, cross-app tracking, or analytics SDKs in the current version of SIXY. We do not sell or rent personal information.

3. Information processed to provide and protect SIXY

When the app or website connects to our servers, our hosting systems may automatically process standard technical information such as your IP address, the date and time of a request, the requested address, response status, and basic browser or device information included with the request.

We use this limited information only to deliver content, maintain reliability, diagnose errors, secure the service, and prevent abuse. We do not use it to create advertising profiles. Technical server logs are normally retained for no longer than 30 days, then deleted or anonymized, unless a longer period is reasonably necessary to investigate a security incident, prevent abuse, or comply with law.

4. Information stored on your device

SIXY may store limited information locally on your device, such as which daily stories have been shown, reading completion, and cached story content. This allows the daily experience to work correctly when you close and reopen the app.

This local information is not used for advertising or profiling. It is generally removed when you delete the app, although it may be included in device backups controlled by Apple or Google, depending on your device and backup settings.

5. Optional “Support SIXY” purchases

SIXY may offer completely optional in-app purchases that let you support the continued operation of the service. These purchases do not unlock content, features, or advantages.

Payments are processed by the platform through which you obtained the app—Apple App Store or Google Play. Webavio does not receive or store your full payment-card or bank-account details. We may receive limited transaction information from the platform, such as the purchased product, transaction status, and aggregated financial reports, as needed to confirm and administer the purchase.

Payment information is handled under the applicable platform’s privacy terms. You can learn more in Apple’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.

6. News sources and external links

SIXY presents summaries and source information and may let you open a publisher’s original article. When you follow an external link, you leave SIXY. The publisher or other third party may collect information under its own privacy policy, which Webavio does not control.

7. When information may be shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, or operate SIXY, subject to appropriate contractual and legal safeguards. Apple and Google independently process in-app purchases as described above.

We may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a valid legal request, protect users or the public, investigate abuse, or defend the rights and security of Webavio and SIXY.

8. Legal bases and international processing

Where European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or similar data-protection law applies, we process limited technical information on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing, securing, and improving SIXY, and where necessary to comply with legal obligations or respond to a service or purchase you request.

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

9. Data retention

• Technical server logs: normally up to 30 days, subject to the limited exceptions described above.
• On-device app data: until it is overwritten, cleared, or the app is removed, subject to your platform backup settings.
• Purchase and accounting records: retained by Apple, Google, and where applicable Webavio for the periods required for transaction administration, accounting, tax, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect the limited information processed by SIXY, including encrypted HTTPS connections. No internet service or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an objection to certain processing, and to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Because SIXY does not require an account and generally does not directly identify users, we may hold little or no information that we can reliably connect to you. We may need limited information from you to understand and verify a request without collecting unnecessary data.

12. Children’s privacy

SIXY is a general-audience news experience. It is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children, does not require accounts, and does not use targeted advertising. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy if SIXY’s features, service providers, or legal obligations change. We will publish the revised policy at this address and update the “Last updated” date. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will provide additional notice where appropriate.
