Privacy Policy
Effective date: 16 September 2026
This policy explains how personal data is handled when you use the TTS Reader app for iPhone and iPad. The app is built to work on your device: we don’t run servers that receive your documents, and we don’t sell your data.
1. In short
- There is no account and no sign-up.
- Speech is generated on your device. Your text is never sent to us or to an AI service to be read aloud.
- Text in scanned pages and photos is recognized on your device.
- Your documents and library are stored only on your device.
- The app shows no ads.
2. What stays on your device
The documents, text and web articles you add, scanned pages, your library with folders and tags, reading positions and settings are stored in the app’s storage on your device. Items you share to the app from other apps are kept in the app’s shared folder on the same device until the app picks them up. We have no access to any of this.
3. When the app connects to the internet
- Voice downloads. Voice models are downloaded from Hugging Face the first time you use a voice. Like any web server, Hugging Face receives your IP address and technical request data. No text or documents are sent.
- Web links. When you add a link, the app loads that page directly from its website, the same way a browser does. That website receives your IP address and request data under its own privacy policy.
- Purchases. Checking and restoring Pro connects to Apple and to our subscription service, described below.
4. Purchases
Pro is sold through the App Store, so Apple processes your payment; we never see your payment details. To confirm and restore Pro, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service. It receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase receipt and transaction data, and basic device information such as the app and OS version and your App Store country. It does not receive your documents or your name.
5. Camera and photos
The camera is used only when you scan a page. When you pick photos, the app gets only the photos you choose. Images are processed on your device and stay there.
6. Advertising and tracking
The app contains no advertising, does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and does not access your device advertising identifier.
7. Support emails
If you write to us, we receive your email address and your message, and use them only to answer you. Support emails are kept for up to 3 years after the conversation ends.
8. Deleting your data
You can delete documents in the app at any time. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your device. Deleting the app does not cancel an active subscription: cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat as tax and accounting law requires.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to data portability. Since your documents never reach us, such requests usually concern support emails or purchase records. Write to info@playlingo.app; we answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia (poverenik.rs) or to the data protection authority in your country.
10. Children
TTS Reader is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy when the app changes how it handles data. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app. The effective date at the top shows the current version. See also the Terms of Use.
12. Who is responsible for your data
The controller of your personal data is the operator of TTS Reader listed in “Legal information” below. We process data in line with the Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
