Nib is an Android client for a Ghost publication chosen and controlled by the user.
Data processed by the app
Nib stores the following data on the device:
- the Ghost site URL and Admin API key supplied by the user;
- account labels and locally cached site metadata;
- drafts, queued posts, attachment references, and display preferences;
- Nib Pro entitlement state and local aggregate monetization event counts.
Ghost credentials are stored using Android encrypted preferences backed by Android Keystore. Application backup is disabled so credentials, drafts, and queued content are not copied through Android Auto Backup.
Data sent to other services
Nib sends Ghost requests directly from the device to the Ghost site configured by the user. Those requests can contain publishing content, media, tags, pages, newsletter settings, and member-management data necessary to perform the requested action. The operator of that Ghost site controls its data handling.
If the user starts a Nib Pro purchase, Google Play processes the transaction. Nib receives product and purchase status information but does not receive payment-card details. Google processes purchases under its own privacy terms.
This version does not include advertising or an external analytics SDK. Monetization funnel counters remain on the device and contain no Ghost URL, API key, account/member identity, content, filename, purchase token, or order ID.
Retention and deletion
Disconnecting a Ghost account removes its stored credential. Local drafts and queued content for that account may remain in application storage but become inaccessible and cannot sync after disconnecting. Clearing application storage or uninstalling Nib removes locally stored application data. Content already published to Ghost must be deleted through Ghost or Nib while connected to that site.
Google Play retains transaction records according to Google Play policies. Refund and transaction-history requests are handled through Google Play.
Security
Nib blocks cleartext network traffic in release builds, does not log Ghost authorization headers or response bodies in production, and stores no real secrets in its source repository. No security measure can guarantee absolute protection; users should rotate a Ghost integration key if they believe it has been exposed.
Children's privacy
Nib is a professional publishing tool and is not designed for children.
Changes and contact
Material changes to this policy will be published with the application update.
