Privacy Policy

Pageo — E-Book Reader

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Introduction

Pageo ("the app") is an iOS application designed to let you read e-books. It is published by Visioncraft, S.L.U., a company registered in Spain ("we," "our," or "us"), the controller of the personal data described in this policy. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how the app handles your data. This policy describes Pageo 1.23 and later; earlier versions send more to Google and Amplitude (see "Analytics and Diagnostics").

Information We Collect

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Pageo stores the following data locally on your device to provide its core functionality:

- Book files — E-book files you import, sync from Calibre, or download from Discover (the app's catalog of free public-domain books from Project Gutenberg), and web articles you save to Pageo.

- Reading preferences — Your chosen font size, line spacing, theme, and other display settings.

- Reading progress — Your current position in each book, so you can pick up where you left off.

- Library data — Book metadata such as titles, authors, and series information.

- App preferences — Settings such as whether the sync guide banner has been dismissed.

This data stays on your device, except as described under "Network Connections", "Analytics and Diagnostics" (our analytics receive, for example, how far you are into a book and the display settings you change, but not your book files or their text), and "Data Storage and Security" (iCloud Sync).

Network Connections

Pageo connects directly to the Calibre Content Server or OPDS catalog you add, on your local network or over the internet, to download books and to sync your reading progress, read status, book details you edit and, if you turn it on, highlights and bookmarks. We do not operate any intermediary servers for these connections and do not intercept, collect, or store the data exchanged with your server. The app also connects to Pageo's Discover catalog (hosted on Google Firebase), Project Gutenberg, and gutendex.com for free books and covers; to Apple and Open Library, which receive a book's title and author, when you use Find Metadata Online; and to the website of any article you save to Pageo.

Text-to-Speech (Listening)

Pageo can read books aloud using a synthetic voice. All speech is generated on your device. When the app reads a book aloud, the text is not uploaded, transmitted, or processed on any server, and is not sent to any third party.

The first time you use listening, the app downloads the speech data it needs (approximately 145 MB) from Apple's servers, in the same way it downloads the app itself. This download contains no information about you, your library, or what you are reading. The data is then stored on your device and is removed if you delete the app.

Advertising

The free version of Pageo may display ads provided by Google AdMob; Pageo Pro, including a Pro trial, shows none. Before any ad is requested, Pageo asks for your consent through Google's consent form in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and for your permission to track through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt — unless you declined in Google's form, in which case Pageo does not ask and ads are limited.

If you do not allow tracking, Pageo asks Google to serve only limited ads: ads that do not use a device identifier and are not personalized. Pageo also asks Google to apply restricted data processing to these ad requests. Google may still process your IP address and general device information to deliver the ad and to prevent fraud.

If you allow tracking, AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier and identifier for vendor to show ads based on your interests and to measure them. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.

You can learn more about how Google uses your data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics and Diagnostics

We use analytics services (Google Firebase and Amplitude) to collect usage and diagnostic information, such as app launch frequency, feature usage, what you type into Discover search and into "Report an issue" or "Request a feature", crash reports, and, for users who arrive through our advertisements, install attribution data. From version 1.23, these services identify an installation of the app by a random identifier created for that purpose and do not collect your device's identifier for vendor. Earlier versions send that identifier to both of them, and to Google AdMob, whether or not you allow tracking, and do not ask Firebase to limit Google's advertising use of its data. Amplitude does not collect your device's advertising identifier; Firebase collects it only if you allow tracking, and from version 1.23 only then may data collected by Firebase be used for advertising or ad measurement. If you opt out of the sale or sharing of your data (below), Pageo tells Firebase not to send your data to Google for advertising or to personalize ads. This information is not tied to your name or Apple ID.

Subscription Information

If you subscribe to Pageo Pro, your purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID. We receive your subscription status and purchase details (product, price, and currency) through RevenueCat. The app also tells RevenueCat how much you have used Pageo Pro since buying it (none, light, or heavy), worked out on your device.

Limits on What We Collect

- The app has no accounts and never asks for your name or contact details. If you email us, including from "Report an issue" or "Request a feature", we receive your email address and the name your mail app sends. What you type in those two forms is also saved with our analytics when you tap Send, even if you never send the email.

- We do not access your contacts, camera, microphone, or your device's location, and see only the photos you pick yourself (for example, as a book cover), which stay on your device. The services we use can work out your approximate location (country, region, or city) from your IP address.

- We do not read, analyze, or store the content of your books on our servers. If you turn on iCloud Sync (Pageo Pro) or "Sync highlights and bookmarks" for a Calibre server, your highlighted passages and bookmark notes are stored in your own private iCloud database (see "Data Storage and Security") or on that server.

- We do not sell or rent your personal data to data brokers. Google receives data from your device through the app's ads (Google AdMob) and Google Firebase, and other advertising companies whose ads AdMob delivers may receive data through those ads; if you allow tracking, they may use that data for targeted advertising and ad measurement. Some US state privacy laws treat this as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; "Your US State Privacy Rights" below explains how to opt out.

Data Storage and Security

All of your books, reading progress, and preferences are stored locally on your device within the app's sandboxed storage. If you delete the app, this data will be removed from your device.

If you turn on iCloud Sync (Pageo Pro), Pageo stores, encrypted, in your own private iCloud database each synced book's title, author, reading position, and read status; your bookmarks and their notes; and your highlights, including the highlighted text. Chapter names go with them, and so does a short device name such as "iPad · 3F2A9C", whose code comes from an identifier Apple gives the app on that device, so you can tell your devices apart. Only you can access this data; it is managed by Apple and subject to Apple's privacy policy. It stays there, including the text of highlights and bookmarks you delete in the app, until you delete Pageo's data from iCloud in iOS Settings; turning iCloud Sync off does not delete it.

If you use iCloud backup, your Pageo data may be included as part of your standard device backup according to your iCloud settings. This is managed by Apple and subject to Apple's privacy policy.

How long we keep data: Data on your device or in your private iCloud database stays under your control; we do not hold it. Google Analytics for Firebase keeps event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for up to 14 months after your last use of the app. Firebase Crashlytics keeps crash reports for 90 days. Amplitude keeps analytics for as long as we need it to understand how the app is used. RevenueCat keeps subscription records while our account with it exists. Google AdMob and Firebase otherwise keep data under Google's own retention policies. We keep emails for as long as we need them to help you. When you ask, we delete what we can match to you (see "Your data rights").

Legal Bases and Transfers

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on these legal bases:

- Consent — for tracking and personalized advertising, and for the choices you make in Google's consent form. You can withdraw it at any time, as described under "Your Choices".

- Legitimate interests — for analytics that help us understand and improve the app, crash reports, limited ads that fund the free version, preventing fraud, and answering your emails. You can object to this use (see "Your data rights").

- Contract — to provide Pageo Pro when you subscribe.

Google and RevenueCat process data in the United States. These transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Amplitude processes our data on servers in the European Union.

Third-Party Services

Pageo integrates with or may integrate with the following third-party services:

Apple App Store — For app distribution, in-app purchases, and hosting the downloadable speech data used by the listening feature.
Apple Search Ads attribution — If you installed Pageo after tapping an Apple Search Ads ad, Apple's AdServices framework tells us which campaign it was. The attribution token contains no device identifier and does not require tracking permission; RevenueCat receives it for us (see below).
Google AdMob — For serving advertisements. AdMob, and advertising companies whose ads it delivers, may collect device and usage data as described above. You can review Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics) — For crash reporting and app usage measurement, including install and conversion measurement for our advertising campaigns. Firebase may collect device identifiers, crash data, and app interaction data. You can review Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and learn more about Firebase data practices at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
Amplitude — For product analytics that help us understand how the app's features are used and improve the experience. This data is processed on servers located in the European Union and does not include the content of your books. You can review Amplitude's privacy policy at https://amplitude.com/privacy.
RevenueCat — For subscription management. RevenueCat receives your subscription and purchase status, a random app user ID, your device's identifier for vendor (an identifier Apple gives each app developer), whether you allowed tracking, the random identifier our analytics uses, the Apple Search Ads or Google Ads campaign that led you to install Pageo, if any, and the usage level described under "Subscription Information". RevenueCat processes this data on our behalf as a data processor and does not use it for advertising. You can review their privacy policy at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

Your Choices

- Tracking — If Pageo has asked for tracking permission, you can allow or deny it at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Without permission, ads are limited and not personalized. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, if you declined in Google's consent form, Pageo does not ask; while you use the free version, you can change your choices under Settings › Legal in the app.

- Ad privacy settings — In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and in US states with privacy laws, Settings › Legal in the app lets you review or change your choices. With Pageo Pro or a Pro trial, which show no ads, these settings may not appear unless you have allowed tracking; turning off tracking (above) stops the same advertising use of your data.

- App data — You can delete all locally stored data at any time by deleting the app from your device. Passwords you saved for Calibre or OPDS servers are kept in the iOS Keychain, which can outlast the app; to delete one, remove that server in Pageo first.

- Your data rights — Wherever you live, you can ask us what personal information we hold about you and for a copy of it in a portable format, ask us to correct or delete it, object to our use of it or ask us to restrict it, and withdraw any consent you gave. Email pageo@visioncraft.es. Pageo has no accounts, and most of what we hold is tied only to random identifiers on your device, so we may ask for details only you would have, such as the email address you wrote from or the order ID on your App Store receipt, and use them only for your request. You can also complain to a data protection authority; in Spain, that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es).

Your US State Privacy Rights

If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or Texas), you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Open Settings › Legal › "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in the app and choose not to sell or share your data. Google AdMob then restricts how it processes data from your device, and Pageo tells Firebase not to send your data to Google for advertising. The setting appears where Google's consent service places your internet connection in such a state, so you may not see it while traveling or on a VPN; versions before 1.23 call it "Ad Privacy Settings", and there it covers Google AdMob only. With Pageo Pro or a Pro trial, which show no ads, the setting may not appear unless you have allowed tracking; turning off tracking for Pageo in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking does at least as much. Not allowing tracking, in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt or in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, does at least as much as this setting: ad requests then carry no device identifier, Pageo asks Google AdMob to apply restricted data processing, and Pageo tells Firebase not to send your data to Google for advertising. Pageo treats that setting as your opt-out preference signal; the app cannot receive browser signals such as Global Privacy Control. You can also contact us at pageo@visioncraft.es to exercise your rights to know, correct or delete personal information.

Children's Privacy

Pageo does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The app does not require an account and never asks for your name or contact details. Ads displayed to users are subject to Google AdMob's policies regarding children's content.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
