Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
Overview
Read Aloud Easy ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using the Read Aloud Easy app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Read Aloud Easy has no servers of its own and does not collect your voice recordings, scanned text or practice sessions. Scanning (text recognition), text-to-speech and translation run on your device using Apple's built-in frameworks. Speech recognition uses Apple's SFSpeechRecognizer: while you are online, your speech may be sent to Apple to recognise the words, under Apple's Privacy Policy. When you look up a word's meaning, only that word is sent to a public dictionary service (Free Dictionary API or Wiktionary). Your voice recordings stay on your device.
Data Stored on Your Device
Your practice session history, scores, accuracy data, and settings are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. This data never leaves your device unless you use iCloud backup, which is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Analytics
We may collect anonymised, aggregated usage analytics to understand how the app is used and to improve the product. This data cannot be used to identify you personally. We use Apple's App Store analytics for this purpose.
In-App Purchases
Read Aloud Easy offers optional in-app purchases via Apple's StoreKit. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment information.
Children's Privacy
Read Aloud Easy is designed for students of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. The app needs no account and sends no personal data to us; the only data that leaves the device is speech sent to Apple for recognition and single words looked up in a dictionary, as described above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
