Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 21, 2026

Introduction

Daily Speed Reader ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our speed reading application.

No Account Required

Daily Speed Reader does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information. You can use the application immediately without registration, login, or providing any identifying information.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in your web browser using localStorage. This includes:

  • Books you upload or download
  • Reading progress for each book
  • Reading settings (font, speed, display preferences)
  • Daily goals and achievements
  • Reading statistics and session data
  • To-read list

This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or process any personal information. We do not:

  • Collect your name, email, or any identifying information
  • Use cookies or tracking technologies
  • Track your browsing behavior
  • Share your data with third parties
  • Send your reading data to any server

Third-Party Services

Daily Speed Reader may access external services in the following cases:

  • Project Gutenberg API: When you search for books, we query the Project Gutenberg API. This is done directly from your browser, and we do not store or process this data.
  • Hosting: The application is hosted on AWS Amplify. Standard hosting logs may be generated, but these do not contain personal information or reading data.

Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally in your browser, you have complete control:

  • Access: You can view all your data directly in the application
  • Delete: You can delete books, clear progress, or clear all data using your browser's settings
  • Export: Your data is stored in browser localStorage and can be accessed via browser developer tools
  • Portability: Since data is local, you can clear it at any time by clearing browser data

Data Security

Since all data is stored locally in your browser, security is primarily managed by your browser and device. We recommend:

  • Keeping your browser updated
  • Using secure devices and networks
  • Not sharing your device with unauthorized users

Children's Privacy

Daily Speed Reader does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we do not collect any information, this is not applicable. However, the application is suitable for use by children as it requires no registration or personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
