Privacy, in plain language.
This is the web companion to Poetry for the Day, by Stephen Reitz. Updated September 17, 2026.
Your reading stays with you
Favorites and recently read poems are stored in this browser’s local storage. They are not synchronized with the iOS app or sent to a collection server. Clear this site’s browser data to remove them. Sharing sends only the poem and credits through the method you select.
Poems and news
The website’s server requests poems from PoetryDB and public RSS headlines from BBC and NPR. Your browser requests this website’s APIs; poem browsing and news requests are handled by the host. Following a source link connects directly to that source and its privacy practices.
Hosting
OpenAI Sites and its infrastructure providers process ordinary request information, such as IP addresses and technical logs, to serve and protect the site. A private preview may require the host’s sign-in. The website includes no advertising or third-party marketing analytics scripts.
AI
The website does not send prompts to an AI provider or generate poems. Its news-based reading mood uses simple keyword matching. The iOS app’s Apple Intelligence features run on supported devices.
