Effective date: June 20, 2026
iRead is built to keep your data private and on your device.
None. iRead does not collect, transmit, or have access to any personal data. There is no analytics, tracking, advertising, or third-party data collection.
All your content — texts you add, saved vocabulary, settings, and reading progress — is stored locally on your device. If you are signed into iCloud, it syncs through your own private iCloud account (Apple CloudKit) so it stays available across your devices. This data lives in your private iCloud database and is accessible only to you; the developer cannot see or access it.
Translation uses Apple's on-device Translation framework, and text recognition (OCR) uses Apple's on-device Vision framework. The text you translate or scan is processed on your device and is not sent to the developer or any third party.
Files you open (PDF, EPUB, text) and any photos or camera input used for scanning or shelf covers are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded anywhere.
Because iRead collects no data from anyone, it collects none from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
