Spanish Read contains no advertising SDKs, no third-party analytics (such as Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Amplitude), and no crash reporting services. We do not track how you use the app.
If you enable daily reminders in the Profile tab, the app schedules a local notification on your device using Android's built-in notification system. This notification is generated entirely on your device โ no data is sent to external servers to deliver it.
You can disable notifications at any time by turning off the Notifications toggle in the Profile tab, or through your device's system notification settings.

Account authentication is handled by Supabase, which uses industry-standard security practices including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and bcrypt password hashing. Passwords are never stored in plain text and are never accessible to us.
