Ntfy me Privacy Policy
Ntfy me ("we", "us", or "our") helps you deliver near real-time notifications from your own systems directly to your mobile devices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you use the Ntfy me mobile applications, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service does not require you to create a user account or provide authentication credentials.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information that is necessary to operate the Service and keep it secure. We do not collect passwords, API keys, or other authentication credentials.
- Device and topic identifiers: Subscription topics, device tokens, or other identifiers you configure so the Service can route notifications to the correct device.
- Message metadata: Technical details associated with notifications you send or receive, including timestamps, message sizes, delivery status, and the tags you configure.
- Logs for security: Minimal server logs that record request time, IP address, and response codes to help detect abuse.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Route the notifications you request to the devices and topics you configure.
- Maintain the reliability, safety, and performance of our infrastructure.
- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
- With service providers that process data on our behalf, strictly for operating and supporting the Service.
- When required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
- To investigate and address security threats, abuse, or violations of our terms.
- With your consent or at your direction.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed to provide the Service, secure notification channels, and comply with legal requirements. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it in accordance with our retention policies and applicable laws.
Security
We implement technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information, including encrypted transport and access controls. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security, so we encourage you to manage your notification topics responsibly and monitor for unusual activity.
Your Choices
You may manage or delete the information stored with the Service by adjusting the settings in the Ntfy me app or your integration. You can rotate or disable topics at any time to change how notifications are delivered.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed on servers located in countries other than where you live. When we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will alert you through the Service or another appropriate channel before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the updated policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
