Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 22, 2026

Rishi Reader ("Rishi", "the App") is developed and operated by Fidexa ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your rights regarding that data.

1. Information We Collect

Rishi Reader collects only the data necessary to deliver its core functionality. The categories of data we collect include:

  • Reading Progress: Your current position within books and documents so you can pick up where you left off.
  • Highlights and Annotations: Text selections and notes you create while reading.
  • Library Metadata: Information about the books and documents in your library, such as titles, authors, and file identifiers.
  • Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials to manage your account and enable cloud sync.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect solely to provide and improve the App's features:

  • Cloud Sync: Your reading progress, highlights, annotations, and library metadata are synced to our cloud servers to enable seamless cross-device access. This means you can start reading on one device and continue on another.
  • App Functionality: Data is used to power features such as bookmark management, reading history, and your personal library.

3. Microphone Access

Rishi Reader may request access to your device's microphone to enable voice input features, such as voice-based search or voice-driven interactions within the App. Microphone access is used exclusively for real-time voice input processing. We do not record, store, or transmit audio data to our servers. Voice input is processed on-device or streamed transiently for real-time processing and is not retained after the interaction is complete. You can revoke microphone permissions at any time through your device's system settings.

4. Analytics and Tracking

Rishi Reader does not use any analytics frameworks, advertising SDKs, or tracking technologies. We do not collect usage statistics, behavioral data, or device fingerprints. We do not build user profiles for advertising or marketing purposes. Your reading habits are your own.

5. Data Sharing and Selling

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other external entities for commercial purposes. Your data may only be disclosed if required by law, such as in response to a valid legal process or government request.

6. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data using industry-standard security practices, including encryption in transit and at rest. Your synced data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we are committed to safeguarding your information and promptly addressing any vulnerabilities.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, you may do so through the App's settings or by contacting us at the email address below. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will remove your data from our servers within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information.

8. Children's Privacy

Rishi Reader is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with third-party authentication providers (for account sign-in) and cloud infrastructure services (for data sync). These services operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies. We do not share your reading data with these providers beyond what is necessary for authentication and storage.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Request a portable copy of your data in a structured format.
  • Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or by other appropriate means. The "Effective Date" at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
