Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 4, 2026

Crude Oracle does not collect, sell, rent, or track personal data. The app is designed as a bring-your-own-key (or on-device AI) research tool.

API keys

API keys are stored locally in the iOS Keychain on your device. They are not stored in UserDefaults, included in source code, or transmitted to Crude Oracle.

Network requests

When you use live market data, RSS news, or AI features, the app may send requests directly from your device to the public or third-party services used by that feature, such as Yahoo Finance, RSS publishers, or the AI provider you selected and configured. Those services process requests under their own terms and privacy policies. If you use Apple Intelligence, AI processing happens on your device and your requests are not sent to Crude Oracle or to a third-party AI provider.

Local data

Cached prices, news, alerts, and predictions are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. You can clear local data from Settings.

No tracking

Crude Oracle does not use advertising identifiers, does not perform cross-app tracking, and does not share your data with data brokers.
