Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how the MD Reader application ("the App"), published by Ahrorbek Abdullaev ("the Developer", "we"), handles information. It also covers this website ("the Site"). By using the App or the Site you acknowledge this Policy.

This Policy does not apply to any third-party service, platform, store or website, including Apple Inc., GitHub, Inc. and any operator of a link you may open from a document. Their own policies govern their own processing, and we have no control over and accept no responsibility for them.

2. What we do not collect

The Developer does not collect, receive, store, sell, rent, share or otherwise process any personal data about you through the App. Specifically, the App contains:

• no user accounts, sign-in, registration or profile of any kind;
• no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or usage statistics;
• no advertising, advertising identifiers, cookies or tracking pixels;
• no third-party SDKs that collect data;
• no server operated by the Developer that the App communicates with.

Because no personal data reaches the Developer, there is nothing for us to disclose, transfer, breach, sell or hand over in response to a request from any third party.

3. Data stored on your device

The App stores a small preferences file inside your user library on your own device. It may contain: window size and position, chosen theme, chosen interface language, view mode, font size, the path of the folder and file you last opened, a list of recently opened folders, and the local licence state (trial start date and whether a purchase has been recorded).

This file never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us. Removing the App removes it. This data is not accessible to the Developer at any time.

4. Your documents

The App reads and writes files only in folders that you explicitly select through the standard system dialog. Your documents are never uploaded, indexed remotely, analysed, copied to any external location, or transmitted to the Developer or to anyone else.

All processing of your documents — rendering, searching, exporting — happens locally on your device.

5. Network access

The App works fully offline and makes no network requests on its own initiative. A network connection is used only in situations you start yourself:

• opening a hyperlink contained in one of your documents, which is handed to your default browser and is then entirely outside the App;
• completing an in-app purchase or restoring purchases, which is performed by the operating system and the App Store, not by us.

6. Purchases

All payments are processed by Apple Inc. through the App Store. The Developer never receives, sees or stores your payment card details, billing address, Apple Account identifier or any other payment information. Apple provides the Developer only with aggregated, anonymised sales and subscription reports that cannot identify an individual user.

Your purchase is governed by Apple's terms and Apple's privacy policy, available at apple.com/legal/privacy. Requests for refunds are made to Apple, not to the Developer.

7. Children

The App is suitable for all ages and is not directed at children in particular. Since the App collects no data from anyone, it collects no data from children either, and no parental consent mechanism is required or possible.

8. Third parties

The App bundles open-source software components that run locally and send nothing anywhere. The App integrates with the operating system and the App Store for purchases only. The Site is hosted on GitHub Pages; GitHub may collect server logs (such as IP addresses) as part of serving the pages, under GitHub's own privacy statement, over which the Developer has no control.

9. Security and backups

Because no data is transmitted or stored by the Developer, there is no server-side database to compromise. The security of your device, your operating system account and your files remains entirely under your own control and responsibility.

10. Your rights

Data protection laws in some regions — including the GDPR in the European Economic Area and the UK, and the CCPA/CPRA in California — grant rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction and objection, and the right not to have personal information sold or shared.

Because the Developer holds no personal data about you, there is nothing to access, correct, delete, port, restrict, object to, or opt out of. We do not sell or share personal information; we never have. If you nevertheless wish to make a request, write to the address in section 14 and we will respond confirming that no data is held.

11. International use

The App can be used anywhere it is lawfully available. Since no data leaves your device, no international transfer of personal data takes place. You are responsible for complying with the laws applicable to you where you use the App.

12. Changes

The Developer may update this Policy at any time, at their sole discretion, for example if a future version of the App gains an optional feature that requires a network connection. Any revised version will be published on this page with a new version number and date, and applies from the moment it is published. Continued use of the App after publication constitutes acceptance. It is your responsibility to review this page from time to time.

13. Disclaimer

This Policy is provided for information only and forms no warranty, representation, guarantee or contractual commitment of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer disclaims all liability arising from or connected with this Policy, the App, the Site, their use or the inability to use them, including any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, loss of data, loss of profit, loss of business or loss of goodwill, even if the possibility of such damage was known.

Nothing in this Policy limits any right you have under mandatory law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where such a limitation is held unenforceable, it applies to the fullest extent permitted and the remainder of this Policy stays in force.

The full contractual terms, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability, are set out in the Terms of Use, which prevail in the event of any conflict.
