Private

Hewell prioritizes user privacy by only utilizing essential data and refraining from collecting or sharing information unless required by Apple (e.g., votes and crash reports) or Wikipedia (for location retrieval). This commitment stands in contrast to prevalent data-tracking practices in the industry, as Hewell eschews behavioral data collection and maintains strict safeguards against data selling or sharing with third parties.
