Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 19, 2026
ClickBook is built to keep reading activity on your device whenever possible. The app does not require an account, does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and is designed so the text you read and tap for explanations is processed locally rather than sent to our own servers during normal reading use.
1. Controller and scope
This Privacy Policy explains how ClickBook processes information when you install and use the ClickBook mobile application, including the library, reader, vocabulary, and on-device AI features.
Mohamad Mohamad is the provider of ClickBook and, where applicable, the controller responsible for personal data processed for this app.

2. Information ClickBook processes
Imported-book data, including the EPUB files you choose to import, file names, local file URIs, extracted metadata such as title and author, language selection, and locally generated cover images.
Reading activity data, including recently opened books, reading progress, section labels, saved EPUB locations, and reader display preferences.
Vocabulary data, including words you tap, surrounding context, the time of the tap, the associated book title, and generated meanings or example sentences stored in the local vocabulary history.
Settings and preference data, including reading mode, fullscreen preferences, AI language selection, and enabled prompt settings.
Model download state and related technical records needed to start, resume, verify, or complete the one-time download of the on-device AI model.
Standard technical request data that may be processed by the app store, model host, content delivery network, or backup provider when you download the app, download the AI model, or use platform-managed backup services.
ClickBook does not require you to create an account and does not ask you to provide your name, payment card details, contacts, microphone input, camera input, or precise location in order to use the app.
If you purchase ClickBook through an app store, the store operator may process order, billing, tax, and refund data under its own privacy notice. ClickBook itself does not ask you to enter payment-card data in the app.
3. How ClickBook uses information
To import, organize, display, and open books in your local library.
To save your reading position, settings, and vocabulary history between sessions.
To generate on-device explanations, translations, and example sentences for tapped words.
To download, store, verify, and resume the required on-device AI model.
To maintain the security, reliability, and basic operation of the app.
4. Legal bases where required by law
Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, ClickBook generally relies on performance of a contract or steps taken at your request to provide the features you choose to use, such as importing a file, opening a book, or saving your reading progress.
ClickBook may also rely on your consent or affirmative user action when you choose a local file through the system document picker, start the AI model download, or enable platform-managed backup features on your device.
Where necessary, ClickBook may rely on legitimate interests in maintaining app security, preventing abuse, troubleshooting failures, and keeping the app functional.
ClickBook does not use your information for targeted advertising, does not sell personal information, and does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
5. On-device processing and network use
Reading activity, saved books, reading progress, tapped words, and generated word explanations are designed to stay on your device during normal use. ClickBook does not send the book text you read, the words you tap, or the generated explanations to our own servers for cloud processing.
Internet access is used for limited operational purposes such as downloading the required on-device AI model and using app-store, platform, or backup services connected to distribution and device operation. The current model download configured in the app is hosted through a Hugging Face file URL.
6. Permissions and device access
ClickBook uses the system document picker only when you choose a file to import into the app.
ClickBook does not perform full-device EPUB scans and does not require Android all-files access for normal use.
If device backup is enabled, your operating system or platform backup provider may copy app data stored on the device as part of its own backup service.
You can refuse optional actions such as choosing a local file or downloading the AI model, but the related feature may not work until you take that action.
7. Sharing and disclosures
ClickBook does not sell personal information and does not share personal information with advertising networks or analytics providers for cross-context behavioral advertising.
When you download the AI model, the hosting provider, content delivery network, and your internet or platform provider may process standard request data such as IP address, timing, and transfer logs under their own privacy terms.
When you download, buy, update, or restore the app, the app store operator and platform provider may process technical and transaction-related data under their own policies.
When platform backup is enabled, the platform provider may retain a copy of backed-up app data under that provider’s own policies.
Information may also be disclosed if required to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
8. International processing
App distribution platforms, backup providers, and model-hosting providers may operate globally. As a result, limited technical data related to downloads, purchase handling, or backups may be processed outside your country under those providers’ own privacy terms.
ClickBook itself is designed so that reading content and tapped-word context are not transmitted to our own servers as part of normal offline reading and explanation use.
9. Data retention
Imported books, reader settings, reading progress, and vocabulary history remain on your device until you delete them, clear the app’s data, or uninstall the app.
The downloaded on-device AI model remains on your device until you remove the app or otherwise delete the model data.
Temporary records used to resume interrupted model downloads are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to complete or recover the download, then are replaced or removed.
Third-party providers such as app stores, hosts, content delivery networks, and backup providers keep their own logs and records under their own retention policies.
10. Security
ClickBook relies primarily on device-local storage and the operating system sandbox. The app is designed to avoid unnecessary collection and to keep data local whenever practical.
No mobile app or storage system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for securing your device, controlling who can unlock it, and managing backup or sharing destinations you choose to use.
11. Your rights
Where applicable law gives you rights, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a portable copy of personal data, to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
Because ClickBook stores most information locally on your device, many privacy choices can be exercised directly on the device itself by deleting books, clearing app data, adjusting settings, or uninstalling the app.
For privacy questions, requests, or complaints, contact Mohamad Mohamad at elc.mohamad@gmail.com

12. Children’s privacy
ClickBook is not specifically directed to children under 13. If minors use the app, parental or guardian supervision is recommended, especially when importing files or using AI-generated explanations.
If you believe personal data relating to a child has been processed in a way that raises a privacy concern, contact the controller identified above so appropriate steps can be taken.
13. Changes and contact
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or distribution practices. The current version will be made available in the Settings area of the app together with its effective date.
