Privacy Policy
1. What we don't collect
The app collects none of the following.
- Identity information such as your name, email or phone number (there is no sign-up)
- Location
- Contacts, or access to your whole photo library
- Usage or analytics data (the app contains no analytics or ad modules)
- Device identifiers
2. What stays on your device
The following is stored only on your device and is not sent anywhere.
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Text, titles, collections and listening position of what you add | The app's documents folder |
| Original PDFs and photos (used to extract text again) | The app's documents folder |
| Downloaded audio files | The app's support files folder |
| Settings such as pronunciation fixes, skipped lines and speed | The app's settings storage |
| OpenAI and Fish Audio API keys | The device's secure storage (Keychain) |
If you use syncing between devices, the documents and settings above move to your own iCloud (the same Apple Account). The developer cannot see them. API keys are not synced.
Deleting the app removes this data from the device. To delete it within the app, delete each item, or clear downloaded audio, pronunciation fixes and skipped lines in Settings.
3. When something leaves your device — only when you choose
The app has no server run by the developer. There is no path for your data to reach the developer.
However, if you add your own OpenAI or Fish Audio API key and choose that feature, the data below is sent directly to that company under your own account.
| Feature | What is sent | When |
|---|---|---|
| Reading with an OpenAI voice | The text of the sentences being read | When the voice engine is set to OpenAI |
| Extracting text with OpenAI | Images of the document or photo | When you choose that method or tap “Re-extract” |
| Reading with a Fish Audio voice | The text of the sentences being read | When the voice engine is set to Fish Audio |
- This traffic does not pass through the developer. The developer cannot see what is sent.
- Charges go directly to your OpenAI or Fish Audio account.
- Data sent is handled under OpenAI's privacy policy and Fish Audio's privacy policy.
- By default, everything is processed on your device for free. These features work only when you turn them on in Settings.
- For sensitive documents such as contracts or medical records, we recommend turning off OpenAI and Fish Audio and using on-device processing only.
4. Device permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Photos | To read the photos you pick yourself. The app does not scan your whole library. |
| Files | To read the files you pick or drag in yourself. |
Both apply only to the items you choose at that moment.
5. Sharing with third parties
The developer does not share or sell any data to third parties, because no data is collected. The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking tools.
6. Children's privacy
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
7. Changes to this policy
If anything changes, this page and its date are updated. If a change would collect more, we will tell you separately in the app.
