- Your library stays on your device.We never see it.
- The app goes online only when you ask it to: to fetch a web page you entered or shared, or to download the optional natural voices from Apple.
- This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts.
- If you join the waitlist, we store your email, and any optional answers you give, with our email provider, MailerLite.
- You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your waitlist data at any time.
The app
The Pageminded app does not collect, transmit or share personal data with us or with anyone else.It has no account or sign-in, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking and no crash-reporting service.It contains no third-party analytics or advertising code.Its privacy label in the App Store is “Data Not Collected”.
The only third-party code in the app is ONNX Runtime, from Microsoft, under the MIT licence.It runs the natural voice model on your device and makes no network calls.The open-source projects behind the natural voice are listed in the app, in Settings, under Acknowledgements.
Your library
Everything you keep in Pageminded is stored only on your device: the texts you import, your place in each one, your notes, your answers and your saved quotes.It lives in the app’s own storage, protected by iOS data protection.It is excluded from iCloud backup and from backups to a computer.So it is not restored to a new device, or after you delete and reinstall the app.
Deleting the app deletes your library.We have no copy of it and cannot recover it for you.If your library ever cannot be opened, the app offers to export the text it can still read, so you keep a copy.
When the app goes online
The app connects to the internet only when you ask it to, in these two cases.
- A web address.When you type or share a web address, Pageminded fetches that page directly from your device.The website sees an ordinary request, as it would if you opened the page in a browser, including your IP address and a browser identifier (user agent).The app fetches only public http and https addresses.It sends no cookies, saved logins or passwords.Nothing passes through us.
- The natural voices.The natural voices are an optional download.When you tap Download in Settings, iOS downloads them from Apple’s servers (Apple-hosted Background Assets).The app sends nothing about you or your reading with that download.It uses Wi-Fi only, unless you turn on Download on cellular.After that, the voices run entirely on your device, and no text or audio leaves it.
The app makes no other network connections of its own.Downloads from Apple are handled by iOS under Apple’s privacy policy.
Sharing into the app
When you share a web page from Safari, or a file from another app, with the share sheet, it goes into your library on your device.If only the address is shared, the app may fetch the page directly from the website, as described above.Nothing is sent to us.
Microphone and speech
Pageminded uses the microphone only when you tap Speak to answer a recall question, and only after you allow it.Your speech is turned into text on your device by Apple’s on-device speech recognition.The first time, iOS may download a speech model from Apple.The audio is not saved and is not sent to us or to anyone else.The words you dictate are kept with your answer, in your library on your device.
Voices
The Apple voices and Personal Voice are provided by iOS and run on your device.Pageminded uses your Personal Voice only after you choose it and allow access.
This website
The website sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers.It is hosted by Vercel.Like most hosts, Vercel keeps standard server logs, such as your IP address, the page requested and the time of the request, to run the site and protect it from abuse.We do not use these logs to track you.Vercel keeps them for a limited time under its own privacy policy.
The waitlist
When you join the waitlist we collect:
- your email address (required);
- your answers to two optional questions: what you read most, and what gets in the way of your reading (only if you choose to answer).
We use this only to email you about Pageminded, such as launch news and invitations to try it, and to understand what to build.We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.Please do not put health information in your answers; they are free text, and we do not need it.
When you press the button, your browser sends your email and answers to a small server function on this site.That function passes them to our email provider and keeps nothing itself.It does not log your email or your answers.To prevent abuse, it briefly holds your IP address in memory to limit repeated sign-ups, and does not store it.
Your email and answers are stored by our email provider, MailerLite, which processes them on our behalf under its own privacy policy.We do not use any other service to store waitlist data.Vercel and MailerLite may process data in the United States and other countries.
We keep waitlist data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.If we stop using the waitlist, we delete it.
Unsubscribe and deletion
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link.To have your email and answers deleted, write to support@barestrategy.com from the address you signed up with.We will delete your record from MailerLite within 30 days and confirm by reply.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to its use, or to withdraw your consent.Write to support@barestrategy.com and we will respond within 30 days.We will not treat you differently for asking.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we use waitlist data on the basis of your consent, which you give by ticking the box.You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
If you are in California, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted.We do not sell or share personal information, as those words are used in California law.
Children
Pageminded is not directed at children under 13.The app collects no data from anyone, children included.The waitlist is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.If you think a child has joined the waitlist, write to us and we will delete their details.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above.If a future version of the app adds anything that sends data off your device, we will update this policy first, and the app will ask you before it does.For material changes to the waitlist, we will tell waitlist members by email.
