Privacy Policy

Overview

Speed Readify ("the App") is a speed reading application that helps you read faster using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Data Collection

What We Do NOT Collect:

• Personal identification information
• Location data
• Contact information
• Browsing history
• Device identifiers for tracking
• The text of selections, highlights, or podcast transcripts as personalization signals
• Advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking data

App Data Storage:

The App stores the following data locally. If you sign in and enable account features, documents, reading progress, feed subscriptions, and the bounded personalization data described below may also sync to your Speed Readify account:

• Documents: Text content you create, paste, or import for speed reading
• Reading Progress: Your current position in documents
• Settings: Your preferred reading speed (WPM) and display preferences
• Images: Photos you capture or import for text extraction (stored temporarily)

Local data is stored using Apple's SwiftData framework. Signed-in sync and personalization requests are transmitted securely to Speed Readify's account services.

Explore and Daily Catch Up Personalization

For signed-in readers, we store topic preferences and bounded events such as impression, open, save, hide, completion, podcast play, Classic add/read, and Catch Up skip or completion. These records use stable content references and action categories; they do not include article text, selected text, URLs, transcript text, or account credentials.

Daily Catch Up editions store their item order, minimal display details, estimated duration, and completion state so the same edition and progress can appear across devices. Raw personalization events and completed editions are retained for up to 90 days, then removed in bounded maintenance batches. Active editions are not removed. This account data is deleted when the associated account is erased.

AI-Powered Text Extraction (Premium Feature)

If you use the Premium AI text extraction feature to convert images to text:

• Image data is transmitted to Mistral AI's servers for processing
• Images are processed to extract text and are not stored permanently by the AI service
• Mistral AI processes images according to their own privacy policy
• This feature is entirely optional and requires explicit user action

We recommend not using this feature for images containing sensitive personal information.

Camera and Photo Library Access

The App may request access to:

• Camera: To capture images of books, documents, or other text sources for AI extraction
• Photo Library: To import existing images for AI text extraction

These permissions are used solely for the purpose of capturing text content you want to read. Photos are processed locally or sent to the AI service (if you choose AI extraction) and are not used for any other purpose.
