Privacy Policy

Updated September 28, 2026

Scope and operator

This policy explains how the Lithe Reader app handles information. The operator and personal information controller is Lingyuan Huisheng Information Technology Co., Ltd. We process information for the features you use.

Books and reading data on your device

Imported books, text, covers, progress, bookmarks, notes, reading time, collections, layout preferences and custom assets are stored on your device. Local search, reading reports, text processing and scanned-PDF text recognition run on your device.

Apple sign-in and account security

When you use Sign in with Apple, we verify Apple credentials and process your Apple account identifier, authorized name and email (which may be an Apple relay address), display name and login sessions. For device management, the app sends a random device identifier stored in the local Keychain, device model category and OS version. You can edit your display name, remove signed-in devices or sign out of all devices.

Subscription verification and installation source

Apple App Store processes subscription payments; we do not collect bank card details. When you purchase entitlements, the app sends Apple-signed transaction evidence to our server.

Online feedback and email

For in-app online feedback, we store your submitted issue, optional contact details and submission time to handle issues and follow up. When you contact us by email, we process your email address, message and attachments you choose to send. Do not submit passwords, sensitive information in payment evidence or unrelated personal content.

Import, sharing, Wi-Fi transfer and backups

The app reads files or images you choose with system pickers. For book, note, report or full-backup exports, you choose the destination through system sharing. Cloud drives and other receiving apps handle the data under their own rules. Wi-Fi transfer starts at your request and uses local-network HTTP with a temporary access token, without passing through our servers; use trusted networks only. Automatic backups stay on your device. Full backups can include books in the trash. Exported files are not additionally encrypted by the app; store them securely.

Permissions, app lock and notifications

Local network permission supports Wi-Fi transfer. On supported devices, the system performs biometric authentication for Face ID; the app receives only the result, not face or fingerprint data. App-lock and sign-in credentials use the system Keychain. Reading reminders use local notifications. After sign-in and notification permission, the app submits a push identifier, push environment and language for account, subscription and feedback-reply notifications. You can change permissions in system settings. Denial affects the related feature, not basic local reading.

Retention, security and third-party services

You manage local data through the app; system device backups or cloud storage you choose may retain separate copies. Apple or your chosen providers handle information for Apple sign-in, App Store, push, speech and system file services under their own rules.

Your choices and account closure

You can manage books, trash and notes, export supported data, edit your display name, remove signed-in devices, turn off permissions, or contact support to request access, correction or deletion. Hide Reading History only hides the display; it does not erase records. After requesting closure in My Account and verifying with Apple, signing in within seven days cancels the request. Once the period ends and processing completes, the original account is disabled. The current implementation retains its details and business records. Registration creates a new account without the former data or entitlements. Closure does not delete local books or cancel App Store subscriptions. Export a backup before deleting the app; Keychain or system backups may retain information separately.

Minors and policy updates

Minors should use features involving personal information or payment with a guardian’s guidance. Guardians may contact support to request access to or deletion of a minor’s information. We will update this policy when features or information handling change and seek separate consent where applicable law requires it. The latest policy and update date are available in the app.
