Last updated: February 22, 2026
1. Data Controller
AntiSMI (news.antismi.media) is a personal project. Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as the Merchant of Record.
2. Data We Collect
- Telegram user ID and display name (for authentication)
- Subscription preferences and settings (categories, timezone, news count)
- Usage data: digest views and search queries (anonymized, for service improvement)
3. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used solely to provide and personalize the news service: deliver digests matching your preferences, maintain your session, and improve service quality. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.
4. Third-Party Services
Payment processing is handled by Paddle.com. We do not store credit card numbers or payment details on our servers. Paddle's privacy policy governs the handling of payment data. We use Google Gemini API for news analysis — only news content is sent, never personal data.
