Your Privacy on Headlinne
Personalization needs data, but personalization and privacy are not opposites. Here is how Headlinne uses your interaction data—and the control you have over it.
By Headlinne Editorial Team · Updated on
Why the feed needs data
A personalized feed is only possible because the engine learns from your interactions—your likes, skips, reads, and searches. This data exists to serve one purpose: making your feed more relevant to you.
Being clear about this is part of being trustworthy. Personalization is not free of data; the question is what data is used, for what, and how much control you have.
Personalization, not surveillance
Headlinne is a news-first product, not a social network built to maximize time-on-app. There are no friends-of-friends graphs, no viral engagement loops, and no comment feeds mining your reactions. Your interaction data drives recommendations, not an attention-harvesting machine.
The design goal is understanding per minute, not minutes-on-app—which shapes how data is used differently from platforms optimized purely for engagement.
The control you have
You are not locked into what the engine has learned:
- Reset your recommendation profile anytime to clear learned preferences
- Set and change explicit interests and disliked topics
- Block sources you never want to see
- Read the full privacy policy for details on data handling
Transparency as a principle
Alongside privacy controls, Headlinne is transparent about how the product works: every article links to its original publisher, bias signals are shown openly, and the Learn section documents how the recommendation engine actually operates.
For the authoritative details on data collection and your rights, always refer to the privacy policy—this article is an overview of the approach, not a substitute for it.
Key takeaways
- ✓Personalization uses your interaction data solely to improve your feed.
- ✓Headlinne is news-first, not an engagement-maximizing social platform.
- ✓You can reset your profile and control interests, dislikes, and sources anytime.
