Privacy Policy

01Purposes of processing

The app has no sign-up or login, and the developer does not process personal information about its users. The app uses the text you add only to tidy it and show it on the reading screen and, with iCloud sync on, to keep your shelf the same on devices signed in to the same iCloud account. Tidying and reading happen on your device.

02Personal information processed

The developer collects no personal information. The app works with the data below, kept in the app's storage on your device. With iCloud sync on, the data listed under iCloud sync below is also kept in your own iCloud account. The developer does not receive any of it.

• Documents you add (the tidied text, the original file, the reading language, where you were, what you've read, and the sections you turned off): used to keep them on your shelf and pick up where you left off
• The original HTML of web articles you add: kept next to the tidied text
• Pages received by the share extension (address, title, the HTML on screen, and when it arrived): used by Get Ready to pull out the article text. Deleted once you add or cancel, and after an hour if it wasn't received in full
• Reading settings (speed for each language, pauses, text size) and whether Pro was bought: used to set up the reading screen and decide which features open
• iCloud sync (a copy kept in your own iCloud account while sync is on): the tidied text, the document's structure (headings and sections), document details (title, web article address, file names inside a ZIP, date added, reading language, and similar), where you were, whether you finished, when you last opened it, what you've read and skipped, and the sections you turned off. Used to keep your shelf the same on devices signed in to the same iCloud account. Original files, the original HTML of web articles, reading settings, and whether Pro was bought are not uploaded

03Retention period

The developer holds no personal data. Everything in the app's storage is removed when the app is deleted. Documents stay until you delete them, and deleting a document deletes its files. A page received by the share extension is deleted once you add or cancel it on Get Ready. Copies synced to iCloud stay in your iCloud account, even if you turn off sync or delete the app. Deleting a document on one device deletes it on your other devices too, and in iCloud its text and reading record are removed, leaving only a record that it was deleted, with details such as its title.

04Provision to third parties

Personal information is not provided to third parties.

05Outsourcing of processing

No processing is outsourced. iCloud sync runs on Apple's iCloud (CloudKit). Synced data belongs to your Apple Account and is covered by Apple's privacy policy. The developer can't see it and doesn't receive it. Buying and restoring Readride Pro is handled by Apple on the App Store, and payment information follows Apple's privacy policy. The developer receives no payment method and no Apple Account information. If another app shares only a web address, or a page shared from Safari is too large and only its address comes through, the app fetches that page from the site once. As with any web request, the site receives your device's IP address, a browser description that names Readride, and your device's preferred languages. The request doesn't go through any developer server, and it doesn't send or keep cookies, cache, or saved logins.

06Destruction of personal information

The developer holds no personal data, so there is nothing to destroy. Deleting a document removes its folder, and deleting the app removes everything it kept on this device. To delete the copy in iCloud, go to Settings > your name > iCloud > Storage > Readride. Readride then stops syncing and leaves the shelf on this device as it is, and you choose in Readride's Settings whether to upload it again.

07Rights of users and legal representatives

Because the developer holds no personal information about you, there is nothing to access, correct or delete. If you have questions, email us at the address below.

08Security measures

What the app uses sits as files in the app's storage on your device. The developer runs no server. iCloud sync uses the private database (CloudKit) in your own iCloud account, and titles, web article addresses, and file names inside a ZIP are kept in CloudKit's encrypted fields. For password-protected PDFs, the tidied text is synced and the password is never stored. If you sign out of iCloud or switch to another account, syncing stops and the shelf on this device stays as it is; it is merged with another account only when you tap Merge with This Account in Readride's Settings. If you back up your device (for example with iCloud Backup), this data is included like any other app's, and Apple handles that backup. Pasted text is read only when you tap the paste button. Finding clutter with AI is done by the language model on this device, and your text is not sent to the developer or to any other server. It runs only when you tap Find More with AI. Reading damaged PDF pages again from their page images is done by text recognition on this device, and the page images and text are not sent to the developer or to any other server. Web pages are fetched over https only, and never from addresses on your local network.

09Cookies and other automatic collection

The app uses no cookies, no advertising identifier and no analytics tools.
