Their privacy policy honestly reads a little confusing to me:
We collect only the data necessary to deliver and improve your experience with our app and services. The types of information we may collect include:
- Usage Data: Details about how you interact with Readest, such as pages visited, time spent reading, search queries, and feature usage. This data is anonymized whenever possible.
What would a case be where data anonymization is not possible?
The policy also states:
Readest is a local-first app, meaning your data remains on your device by default. We do not store, share, or sell your data to third parties.
To my understanding this would mean by default, user data collection is off and opt-in. But then then it says:
- Opt-Out: You can opt out of usage analytics and telemetry through the app’s settings.
Which again states you can opt out. Though this is under Your Privacy Rights, so I guess this just states your right to opt-out even though that is the default?
Could someone with experience in interpreting privacy policies, share their opinion?
