Privacy Policy

Overview

Devour ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our speed reading application and website at devourreading.com.

The short version: We store all your data locally on your device. We don't require accounts, we don't sell your data, and we collect minimal analytics to improve the app.

Information We Collect

Data Stored Locally (On Your Device)

The following data is stored only on your device using browser localStorage and is never transmitted to our servers:

• Documents and articles you import for reading
• Reading preferences (speed, font size, theme)
• Reading statistics (words read, time spent, streaks)
• Achievements and progress
• Collections and organization settings

Analytics Data

We may collect anonymous, aggregated analytics to improve our service, including:

• Page views and feature usage patterns
• Device type and browser information
• General geographic region
• App performance metrics

This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain the Devour service
• Improve and optimize the user experience
• Understand how users interact with our features
• Fix bugs and technical issues

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymous, aggregated statistics that cannot identify individual users.

Data Security

Since your reading data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it. You can export your data at any time from the Settings page, and you can clear all data by clearing your browser's localStorage.

Third-Party Services

When you import content from URLs, we use third-party services to extract article text. The URLs you provide may be processed by these services. We do not store the URLs you import on our servers.

Children's Privacy

Devour is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
