Privacy Policy

CherryBrew is an Android app from MarcoPolo (NeoMarcoPolo, LLC) that strips algorithmic feeds — Reels, Shorts, recommendations — from Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X by rendering them inside an in-app WebView with filtering injected on top.

This page explains what data CherryBrew collects, what it doesn't, and how to reach a human if you want something removed.

What CherryBrew collects

CherryBrew uses three Google services for diagnostics and product metrics. These are the only outbound telemetry channels in the app.

Firebase Crashlytics

If CherryBrew crashes or hangs (ANR), Crashlytics sends Google a stack trace plus device model, Android version, and an installation ID. We use this to fix bugs. It does not include the contents of pages you viewed, accounts you were signed into, or anything you typed.

Firebase Analytics

Records anonymous usage events: screen opens, session length, app-version upgrades, country and language (from device locale). We use this to understand which features are used. It is associated with an installation ID, not your Google account.

Firebase Remote Config

Pulls feature-flag values from Google so we can turn things on or off without shipping a new build. CherryBrew does not send your data back through this channel — it's read-only configuration.

What CherryBrew does not collect

• No user accounts, logins, or passwords. CherryBrew has no sign-up.
• No location data — neither precise GPS nor coarse network location.
• No contacts, calendar, microphone, or camera access.
• No content of pages you view inside the WebView. CherryBrew filters what's rendered on your screen; it does not read or copy the underlying feed.
• No keystrokes, clipboard contents, or browsing history.
• No advertising identifiers and no third-party ad SDKs. CherryBrew shows no ads.

Data that stays on your device

The following live entirely in CherryBrew's private app storage on your phone. They never leave your device:

• Your preferences — channel order, quiet hours, grayscale toggle, daily baseline target.
• Earned-consequence state — the local progress data the timer metaphor reads from.
• WebView cookies and session storage for Instagram / YouTube / Facebook / X. These let those sites remember you're signed in. They live in CherryBrew's sandbox, not in the rest of your phone.

Uninstalling CherryBrew removes all of the above.

Third-party services you connect to inside CherryBrew

When you view Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or X inside CherryBrew, your phone is connecting directly to Meta, Google, or X. CherryBrew does not proxy that traffic. Those services collect data about you on their own terms, governed by their own privacy policies:

• Meta / Instagram
• Meta / Facebook
• Google / YouTube
• X (Twitter)

If you make any in-app purchases, those run through Google Play Billing under Google's terms. CherryBrew never sees your payment information.

How long we keep diagnostic data

Crashlytics retains crash records for 90 days by default. Firebase Analytics retains event-level data for 14 months and aggregate data indefinitely; we have not extended those defaults. On-device data stays until you uninstall.

Your rights

You can:

• Stop sending diagnostics: uninstall CherryBrew. All on-device data goes with it, and the app stops emitting any new telemetry.
• Request deletion of past telemetry tied to your install: email us (below) with the device model and rough install timeframe. We can identify and delete records associated with your installation ID.
• If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland (GDPR): you have the right to access, correct, port, restrict processing of, or delete your personal data, and to object to processing or lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Email us to exercise any of these.
• If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. CherryBrew does not sell or share personal information in the legal sense of those terms.

Children

CherryBrew is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA / UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in those age ranges. If you believe a child has used the app, email us and we'll delete any data associated with that installation.

International transfers

Firebase is operated by Google LLC, headquartered in the United States, with data centers worldwide. If you use CherryBrew outside the United States, your diagnostic data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. under Google's standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or how we use it, we will update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes, we'll surface a notice inside the app on next launch.
