The app does not collect, store on a server, sell or share anything about you. It has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server of its own. The only time it uses the internet is to fetch the one web page whose address you type, paste or share to it.
The text you paste, the files you open and the pages you fetch are read in the phone's memory and spoken by the text-to-speech engine that comes with your phone. They are not kept when you close or leave them, unless you choose to keep a text (a Pro feature). A kept text, its reading place, your reading settings (speed, language, voice, pitch, text size) and your voice presets are stored in the app's private storage on the phone and nowhere else.
When you type, paste or share a web address and press Fetch page, the app sends one ordinary request for that page to the site that serves it, the same kind of request a browser makes. The site can see your phone's internet address and the usual request details, as with any visit, and its own privacy policy applies to that visit. The app sends no cookies, no sign-in and no identifier, follows only the redirect for that address, does not visit other pages or links, and does not try to get around a sign-in, a paywall or a block. The text it finds is shown to you and spoken; it is kept only if you choose to keep it. The app does not claim any right to the content of a page you open.
Files are opened only through the Android file picker or the share sheet, one at a time, and only plain text, PDF and EPUB files without copy protection. A protected file is not opened. The app asks for no storage, photo, location, contacts or microphone permission and never records audio.
Speech is made by the text-to-speech engine installed on your phone, using voices that are already on the phone. The app lists and uses only voices that work without the internet. Your text is not sent to us.
Internet: to fetch the one page you ask for. Notifications and foreground service (media playback): so reading can go on with the screen off and show play, pause and skip controls in a notification. Billing: Google Play handles purchases.
Pro can be bought as a yearly subscription or once, through Google Play. Google processes the payment and tells the app whether Pro is active. We receive no payment details and no personal data. Google Play Billing may collect diagnostics under Google's own policy.
If you have Android's backup turned on, Android may include the app's private data, such as kept texts and settings, in your device backup to your Google account. That is controlled by Google and your phone's settings. You can also create a backup file yourself in Settings.
Settings > Export all my data writes your kept texts and settings to a file. Settings > Delete all data removes everything the app stores and restarts it. Uninstalling the app removes its data too.
The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect anything from anyone.
If this policy changes, the new version is posted at the address above with a new date.
