Questions.

— Why enter your login and password?

— So you can read in peace. Password-protected feeds are fetched and prepared by our server — and that server is what makes things possible that simply don’t work without one: keyword alerts, sync across devices, offline reading, and traffic measured in kilobytes rather than megabytes. Your credentials are stored encrypted and used only to bring you what’s new from that feed.

— Will those articles be visible to other users?

— No. Not to other Readine subscribers, not to ad networks, not to any “partners.” You’re a customer, not a product: we don’t sell data and we don’t show ads. At the code and infrastructure level, access to your private feeds is technically scoped to your account alone.
