# Privacy Policy for Readream Basic
Effective date: July 23, 2026
This policy applies to Readream Basic for Android, package ID `com.readream.basic`. “Readream” means the developer and publisher of the app.
Readream Basic is an offline reader. It has no advertising, analytics, account system, behavioral tracking, developer-operated server, or internet permission. The app does not send your library, reading activity, saved text, preferences, or device identifiers to the Readream developer.
## Data kept on your device
Readream Basic keeps the following information in its private app storage:
- Documents you select for import, including prepared copies needed for reading large or converted files.
- Book details such as file name, title, author, format, size, cover, collections, favorite status, and import status.
- Reading position, progress, recent activity, bookmarks, saved text marks, vocabulary entries, narration position, and reader settings.
- Imported reader fonts and other files you deliberately add through an Android file picker.
If a document needs a password, the app holds that password in memory only while the document is open. It does not save the password.
Android cloud backup is disabled for Readream Basic. The app does not copy this local data to a Readream server.
## File access and notifications
Readream Basic uses Android’s document picker and share system. It can read only the files you select or send directly to the app. It may copy a selected document into private app storage so the document remains available and large files can be prepared without changing the original.
On supported Android versions, the app may ask for notification permission. Notifications show progress for a file import or preparation task that you started. Denying notification permission does not give Readream access to any extra data.
## Text-to-speech
Readream Basic can pass book text to the Android text-to-speech engine selected on your device. The app offers voices that Android reports as not requiring a network connection, and Readream Basic itself has no internet permission. The text-to-speech engine is separate software supplied by your device maker or another provider; its handling of text is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy policy.
## Search, translation, sharing, and links
Readream Basic sends content to another app only after you choose an external action:
- Search and dictionary actions pass the selected word or query to Android’s search service or open a Google Search URL in your browser.
- Translate opens Google Translate in a browser or compatible app with the selected text included in the request.
- Share and export send the content you choose to the destination app or storage location you select.
- Links inside supported documents may open in your browser or another compatible app.
Once another app or website receives that information, its privacy policy applies. Readream does not control how that destination handles the data.
## Retention and deletion
Local data remains on your device until you remove the related book or saved item, clear Readream Basic’s app data, or uninstall the app. Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the app’s private local files. It does not remove copies you exported or shared to another location.
There is no Readream account to close and no cloud library for the developer to delete.
## Support messages
If you contact Readream support, the developer receives the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, screenshots, or attached files. This information is used to answer your request and investigate the issue. Do not send private books or documents unless they are needed for the support request and you have the right to share them.
You may ask for a support message and its attachments to be deleted by using the privacy contact below, unless retention is required by law.
## Children
Readream Basic is a general-audience reading app and is not directed to children under 13. The app does not ask for a date of birth and does not knowingly collect children’s personal information through the app. A parent or guardian who believes a child sent personal information to support may request its deletion.
## Changes to this policy
The effective date at the top will change when this policy changes. Material changes will be posted at the public policy URL used in Google Play and, where practical, described in the app or its store listing.
