Privacy Policy for Reading Notes

1. Introduction

Welcome to Reading Notes (“we”, “our”, or “us”). Reading Notes is a personal productivity app that helps users save book notes, highlights, chapters, tags, and reading progress.

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding your data.

By using Reading Notes, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Reading Notes is designed to work offline and stores most data locally on your device.

We may collect the following types of information:

a) Information You Provide

When you use the app, you may enter:

• Book titles

• Author names

• Reading status

• Chapter numbers and titles

• Highlights

• Personal notes

• Tags

• Favorite books and notes

• App preferences such as dark mode

This information is stored locally on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage).

b) Automatically Collected Information

Reading Notes does not collect:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Location

• Contacts

• Photos or camera data

• Payment information

• Advertising ID

• Analytics or tracking data

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or cloud servers to store your reading notes.

3. How We Use Your Information

Any information you enter into the app is used only to provide app functionality, including:

• Saving and organizing books

• Creating and managing notes

• Searching notes

• Showing statistics and achievements

• Saving app settings such as theme preference

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

All books, notes, and app settings are stored locally on your device.

Because your data remains on your device:

• We do not have access to your notes

• Your data is not uploaded to our servers

• Uninstalling the app may permanently delete locally stored data

We recommend keeping a backup of important notes if needed, as data recovery may not be possible after deletion or uninstallation.

We take reasonable steps to protect data stored on your device, but no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Permissions

Reading Notes is built to function without requiring sensitive device permissions.

The app does not request access to:

• Camera

• Microphone

• Location

• Contacts

• SMS

• Phone

• Files outside the app storage scope

If permissions are added in future updates, this policy will be updated accordingly.

6. Children’s Privacy

Reading Notes is suitable for general audiences, including students and readers of all ages.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since the app does not collect personal data online, no child-specific data is transmitted to us.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through external contact methods, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

7. Third-Party Services

Reading Notes does not use:

• User login systems

• Cloud sync services

• Social media integrations

• Advertising networks

• Payment processors

If third-party services are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

8. Data Retention

Your data remains on your device until:

• You delete it inside the app

• You clear app storage

• You uninstall the app

We do not retain copies of your notes on external servers.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data.

Since Reading Notes stores data locally on your device, you can:

• View your data inside the app

• Edit or delete books and notes

• Remove all app data by uninstalling the app
