A policy in plain language, for a product that collects almost nothing. We write what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. No dark patterns. No hidden data flows.

2. The short version
- The app works without an account. Sign-in is optional.
- Bookmarks and reading progress stay on your device unless you choose to sync.
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising.
- We do not show advertisements in the app, ever.

3. What we collect
3.1 If you sign in (optional)
If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address. That's it. We do not request any additional profile data. Sign-in exists only to let you sync your reading across devices.
3.2 If you sync
If you enable sync, your bookmarks, reading progress, and any notes are stored on servers operated by Supabase in Frankfurt, Germany (EU region). Without sign-in, this data never leaves your device.
3.3 If you pay for Premium
Subscription payments are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. We only receive a subscription status token that tells us whether your account is Premium.
3.4 Technical diagnostics
We collect anonymous usage analytics through PostHog Cloud EU to understand how the app is used and where it fails. This does not include anything personally identifying. No advertising identifiers. No location. No contact data. See Section 6 for the full list.
4. What we do NOT collect
- Contact information beyond the optional email address
- Location data of any kind
- Health or fitness data
- Financial information (handled exclusively by Apple)
- Browsing history or search history outside the app
- Contacts, calendar entries, or messages
- Photos or files from your device

5. Why we collect what we collect
- Account email — to let you sync across your devices

Legal basis under GDPR: Article 6(1)(b) — performance of contract — for sync and subscription; Article 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest — for anonymous analytics.
