Privacy Policy

Evening Reader does not collect, store or share any personal information. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no server of ours. Nothing about you or what you read is sent to us.

What stays on your device

Your library — the articles, books and PDFs you save, your highlights and notes, your reading positions, and your display settings — is stored on your device.

iCloud

If iCloud Drive is turned on for Evening Reader, the library is also kept in your own iCloud account so that it appears on your other devices. It is stored as plain folders under iCloud Drive › Evening Reader. This data belongs to you and is handled under Apple's privacy policy; we have no access to it.

What the app connects to

• The pages you save. To save an article, the app fetches that page and its pictures from the site that publishes it, the same way a browser does. That site sees the request; we do not.
• Sites you open. The built-in browser loads sites like any browser. Those sites may set cookies and see what a browser shows them; cookies and sign-ins are kept on your device so you stay signed in. The app keeps no list of the pages you visit.
• Site icons. When you add a site to the front page, the app fetches its icon from that site.

Apple Intelligence

Asking about a passage uses the on-device model provided by Apple Intelligence. The passage is processed on your device and is not sent to us.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with the date updated below.
