## Permissions

##### `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE`
Since version 3.0, FeedMe added TTS and podcast feature. For a better experience, When there is a call, it will automatically suspend audio playback. 

So FeedMe need this permission to achieve this suspending function.

## External server
- FeedMe has no server to save your data.
- FeedMe uses umeng ( http://mobile.umeng.com/analytics ) to collect user data, mainly for collecting crash data. **Since FeedMe v3.8.4, umeng is disabled by default. You can find the option in Settings - About - Data Collection**
- FeedMe uses RSS server APIs to get feeds data for you.

##### Q:Does FeedMe collect any data and phone home to you or a third party? If so, what? Is the list of my feeds transmitted? Is my IMEI transmitted? Is any information about what I have in my storage transmitted?
