Privacy
The same text as the Privacy screen inside the app.
Akoue collects no analytics and contains no third-party tracking. No data about you is collected or shared with anyone.
Your library, progress, bookmarks and statistics are stored only on your device and, if you enable sync, in your personal iCloud. The developer has no access to them.
Books you put on Apple Watch also live on the watch: files, title, author, narrator, series, cover, chapters, position, and bookmarks with notes. The system carries them between your watch and phone; no servers of ours are involved.
The app itself does not go online: Apple services handle the network.
You pick a cover or an author’s or narrator’s photo in Photos yourself: the app gets only the chosen picture, with no access to your whole library. It only adds the statistics card to Photos when you ask, and asks permission for that. The camera is used only to shoot a cover.
A diagnostic report is produced only at your request and you see its contents before sending. It starts with the app version, system version, device model and language, then the app’s folders on the device and in iCloud Drive, without your user name, followed by technical entries where errors are recorded as codes: book titles and paths to book files are not included. In a message to the developer, the app fills in the same version, system, device and language details; you see them before sending and can delete them.
