Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws (including the General Data Protection Regulation — GDPR), the operator of Time to Read acts as the data controller.

If you have any questions, you can contact:

v.kovalenko.ba@gmail.com

2. Data Storage

All data you create in the app (reading sessions, items, and statistics) is stored locally on your device.

If you use iCloud sync (Premium), your data is stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit private database.

We do not store your data on our own servers.

We do not transmit your personal reading data to external servers.

3. Purchases & Subscriptions

We use Apple's in-app purchase system and a third-party service (RevenueCat) to manage subscriptions.

RevenueCat may process limited data required to operate subscriptions, such as:

• Purchase events
• Subscription status
• Anonymous device identifiers

RevenueCat does not have access to your reading data.

This data is used only to enable subscription functionality and is not used to identify you personally.

4. iCloud Sync (Premium)

If you use Premium features, your data may be stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit.

We do not have access to your iCloud data.

5. Analytics

We do not use third-party analytics tools to track user behavior inside the app.

We may rely on:

• Aggregated data provided by Apple (App Store Connect)
• Subscription-related data from RevenueCat

This data does not identify individual users.

6. Website Analytics

Our website is hosted on Netlify, which may collect basic, non-identifying analytics data such as:

• Page views
• Approximate location (based on anonymized IP)
• Device and browser type

This data is used only to understand website performance and is not used to identify individual visitors.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Where applicable, our legal basis for processing limited data includes:

• Providing core app functionality
• Fulfilling subscription services
• Legitimate interest in improving the app and website

Because we collect minimal personal data, most processing happens locally on your device or within Apple's infrastructure.

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union, you have certain rights under GDPR, including:

• The right to access your data
• The right to request correction or deletion
• The right to restrict processing
• The right to data portability

Because most data is stored locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account, you can control or delete your data directly at any time.

If you need assistance, contact:

v.kovalenko.ba@gmail.com

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data.

Limited data may be shared with:

• Apple (payments, app distribution, iCloud)
• RevenueCat (subscription management)
• Netlify (website hosting and analytics)

10. Security

The app uses standard Apple security and encryption technologies.

11. Children's Privacy

The app does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12. Compliance with Laws

We aim to comply with applicable data protection and privacy regulations, including:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable

13. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy in the future. Updates will be reflected on this page.
