3.1 Local Storage

Your data is primarily stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This includes:

• PDF files and thumbnails
• Reading sessions and statistics
• Collections and organizational data
• Bookmarks and annotations
• User preferences

3.2 Cloud Storage

To enable multi-device synchronization, we store your data in the cloud using Firebase services:

• Firebase Authentication: Manages your account authentication
• Firebase Firestore: Stores metadata about your PDFs, reading sessions, collections, and preferences
• Firebase Storage: Stores your PDF files and thumbnails

All cloud data is associated with your unique user ID and is accessible only to you.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to help us operate the App:

• Google Firebase: For authentication, cloud storage, and data synchronization
• Google Sign-In & Apple Sign-In: For authentication services

These providers have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated to protect your information.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests from public authorities.

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures:

• Secure authentication using industry-standard OAuth protocols (Google Sign-In and Apple Sign-In)
• Data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
• Firebase security rules protect your cloud data from unauthorized access
• Local data is protected by iOS security features, including device encryption
• Re-authentication is required for sensitive operations like account deletion

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6.1 Access and Update

You can access and update your profile information, preferences, and settings directly within the App.

6.2 Data Export

• All local data will be removed from your device
• Your authentication account will be deleted
• This action is irreversible

6.4 Sign Out
