ReadLex Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-08

Short version: ReadLex does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything stays on your device.

What data ReadLex collects

None. ReadLex stores all of its data — articles, vocabulary, flashcards, reading history, statistics, and settings — locally on your device using SwiftData. The app never transmits any of this to a server.

Data collected: none. Data linked to you: none. Tracking: none.

Network activity

• When you import an OPML file containing RSS feed URLs, the app downloads articles directly from the feed publishers you have chosen. Those requests go from your device to the feed publishers; we do not see, route, or log them.
• Translation of paragraphs and word lookups use Apple's on-device Translation and NaturalLanguage frameworks. They run on your device; we operate no translation servers.
• The app contains no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no advertising identifiers, no remote configuration, and no crash reporting beyond what Apple provides system-wide (which you can disable in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements).

Notifications

Daily reminder notifications, if you enable them, are scheduled locally on your device and never reach our servers (we have none).

Data retention & deletion

If you delete the app, all of your data is removed with it. There is no backup we keep on your behalf.

Children

ReadLex is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your rights

You can ask us, at any time, what data we hold about you and request its deletion. For ReadLex the answer is: we hold none. Uninstalling the app completes any deletion you might want.
