ReadToMe Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

ReadToMe ("we", "our", "the app") is a children's storybook reader app. We take your family's privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. This is used solely for authentication.

Camera Data: The app uses your device's camera to scan book pages. Camera frames are processed on-device using Apple's Vision framework for text recognition. Raw camera images are never stored or transmitted to any server.

Recognized Text: Text recognized from book pages is sent to our servers for processing (cleaning and text-to-speech conversion). This text is not stored after processing is complete.

Subscription Data: Subscription purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store any payment information.

Usage Data: We track daily page counts to enforce usage limits. This data is stored in your account and is not shared with third parties.
