We process your personal data to achieve the following purposes:

Services used for these purposes may collect data on the date and time messages are viewed by our app users and their interactions with them, such as clicking on links in messages.
We use Firebase Cloud Messaging, a messaging service provided by Google, to communicate with you. Firebase Cloud Messaging allows us to send messages and notifications to our app users across platforms (such as Android and iOS). We integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging with Firebase Analytics to create analytics-based audiences and track open and conversion events. For example, we can send encouraging messages to users who have recently installed the app. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
2.5 Research and Analysis This helps us better understand our business, analyze our operations, maintain, improve, innovate, plan, design, and develop services and new products. We also use this data for statistical analysis, testing, and improving our offerings. This allows us to better understand which features and book categories are more popular among users and which categories of users use our Services. Therefore, we often decide how to improve services based on the results of this processing. For example, if we find that users read "productivity" category book summaries more frequently, we may create and introduce more book summaries in that category.
To conduct research and analysis on how users interact with our Services, we use Appsflyer. Appsflyer helps us understand how users find us (e.g., which advertiser delivered the ad that led you to use our Services). Appsflyer also provides various analytics tools that allow us to study and analyze the usage of Services - Privacy Policy, Opt-out.

Google Analytics places cookies on your device to provide us with analytics. On Google Analytics, we obtain aggregated information about the data you enter on the Services and user interactions within the Services. Google allows you to influence how Google collects and processes information, particularly by installing a browser plugin.
To track and analyze user behavior on our Services (especially their reactions to changes in app or website structure, text, or any other component), we use Firebase Remote Config. Firebase Remote Config is an A/B testing and configuration service provided by Google - Privacy Policy and Firebase Privacy and Security.
