Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Overview

Rapid Reader is designed with privacy in mind. We believe your reading habits and content are personal, and we've built our application to respect that.

Data We Collect

Web Application

The Rapid Reader web application processes all content locally in your browser. We do not upload, store, or have access to:

  • Documents you upload (PDFs, EPUBs)
  • Text you paste into the application
  • Your reading progress or statistics
  • Your application preferences

All data is stored in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device.

Desktop Application

The desktop application operates entirely offline on all platforms (macOS, Windows, and Linux). Your files and reading data remain on your computer and are never transmitted to external servers.

Marketing Website

Our marketing website (rapidreader.app) may collect anonymous usage analytics to help us improve our service. This includes:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Browser and device type
  • Referring websites

We do not use this data to personally identify visitors.

Cookies

Our marketing website may use essential cookies for basic functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or sell data to third parties.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for analytics and hosting. These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of data.

Data Security

Since we don't collect your personal reading data, there's nothing to secure on our end. Your content stays on your device, protected by your own security measures.

Children's Privacy

Rapid Reader is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date.
