My eBook Reader privacy policy

My eBook Reader does not collect, sell or share personal data. Colormetric Labs runs no server for the app. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your books, highlights and notes are stored on your device. On the App Store, the app's privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

Your books, highlights, notes, bookmarks, reading positions, reading statistics, dictionaries and settings are stored in the app's private storage on your device. Nothing is sent to Colormetric Labs. Delete the app and they are removed.

Books are shown only from their own file. The reader never loads pictures, fonts or anything else in a book from the internet.

The app uses these Apple services, and nothing else:

App Store purchases. Apple handles the free trial and the one-time purchase. We never see your payment details, name or Apple Account. The app checks your purchase with Apple's signed records, on the device.

iCloud Drive backups, only if you turn them on. Backups go to your own iCloud Drive. Colormetric Labs cannot see them.

Translation, only when you choose Translate. The app hands the passage to Apple's translation. As Apple's own screen explains, the text you selected goes to Apple, unless you have turned on on-device mode in your device's Settings. Apple's privacy policy covers what Apple does with it.

Web links in books. When you tap a web address in a book, it opens in a Safari window inside the app, and that website sees your visit as it would in Safari.

Reading reminders are off unless you turn them on. They are scheduled on your device; nothing is sent to us.

App Lock: Face ID or Touch ID is checked by your device. The app never sees your face or fingerprint.

Spotlight and widgets: book titles and highlights can appear in your device's Spotlight search and in the app's widgets. Both are local to your device. With App Lock on, the app removes them from Spotlight and hides highlights in widgets.

Read aloud and dictionaries use your device's voices and the dictionaries you add, offline.

Crash reports from Apple stay on your device. They reach us only if you choose to email them from Settings › Help & Feedback.

The app contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking code from anyone. It never asks to track you across other apps, because it does not track you at all.

Export your notes or the whole library at any time, also after the trial ends. Delete a book and its notes are gone from your device. Delete the app and everything it stored goes with it. Backups in your iCloud Drive stay until you delete them. We hold no record of you, so there is nothing for us to send you or delete.

My eBook Reader is not directed at children. It collects no personal data from anyone, including children. It has no advertising, no social features and no way to contact other people. Purchases go through Apple, so Ask to Buy and Screen Time controls apply.
