Summary
Book Reader does not collect personal data for the developer, and it does not sell or rent any data. Transfers are limited to Apple services used by the user and, at the user’s request, the ISBN sent to Open Library to look up a book. The app contains no advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics and requires no developer account.
Stored data
Imported books, covers, metadata, bookmarks, notes, reading progress and reading statistics are stored locally on the device. When the user enables iCloud, these items may also be stored in the user’s private iCloud Drive space so they remain available across Apple devices.
The developer operates no server that receives these documents and cannot access the contents of the user’s iCloud space.
On-device processing
Filename analysis, metadata extraction, cover creation or cropping, archive decompression and reading statistics are processed on the user’s device.
iCloud
iCloud is a service provided by Apple. Its operation is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy and the user’s iCloud account settings.
In-app purchases
The optional Book Reader Pro purchase is offered and processed by Apple through the App Store. The developer receives neither the user’s banking details nor payment information. The app only checks the purchase status needed to unlock Pro features.
Bibliographic lookup with an ISBN
When a user voluntarily starts a lookup, only the normalized ISBN is sent to Open Library to retrieve available bibliographic information. No book file, personal review, rating, or reading history is transmitted. Information found is saved to the library only after the user confirms it. Open Library processes the request under its own terms and privacy practices.
Retention and deletion
The user controls their documents. Deleting a book in Book Reader removes the file managed by the app and its associated data. The storage-release option removes only the downloaded device copy and keeps the original in iCloud. Uninstalling the app removes local app data, but items kept in iCloud may remain until the user deletes them.
Children
Book Reader does not collect personal data, including from children. The app has no social service or content-publishing feature.
Changes
This policy will be updated if the app’s features or data practices change. The revised date will appear at the top of this page.
