4. Firebase Cloud Messaging and Push Notifications

The Mumbai News Android application uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to provide breaking news alerts and other news-related notifications.

To deliver notifications, Firebase may process technical information, including device registration tokens and information necessary for message delivery.

Our application may subscribe devices to news notification topics based on the notification preferences selected by users.

On supported Android devices, the application requests notification permission before displaying notifications.

You can disable push notifications at any time through the Mumbai News application settings or your Android device’s notification settings.

Disabling notifications does not prevent you from reading news articles in the application.
