Aflow Read by Aflow Labs Limited
Privacy Policy
Aflow Read is a personal EPUB reader. You do not need an Aflow Labs account to use it. This policy describes Aflow Read; DwellCheck has its own privacy statement.
The app keeps its catalogue and reading information on your device. You choose the files and folders it can access. Optional support purchases are handled by Apple.
Books, library and reading information
Aflow Read stores its library catalogue, covers, preferences, collections, bookmarks, annotations and reading progress locally. It can retain file-access permissions and managed offline copies so you can continue reading. Opening or registering a book does not transfer ownership of your original file to Aflow Labs.
Keep your original EPUBs and independent backups. Removing the app can remove its local library and reading information. Device backups and file-provider storage are governed by your device and provider settings.
Files, iCloud Drive and other providers
You grant access by choosing files or folders through the system picker. Aflow Read uses that permission to discover and open books, refresh sources and maintain their references. It does not ask for unrestricted access to all your files.
iCloud Drive and other file providers can download or store selected files using their own services and accounts. Apple account-status checks and explicit provider operations may contact Apple or your chosen provider. Aflow’s structured Cloud library and reading-state sync are not enabled for the Free launch.
Books may contain external links or resources. Opening or loading these can contact the relevant publisher or website, whose privacy practices apply.
Optional support purchases
Buy Us a Coffee purchases are optional, repeatable consumables. They grant no extra features or permanent Pro entitlement. Apple processes payments. Aflow Read receives and verifies StoreKit product and transaction information to acknowledge the purchase and finish the transaction. Aflow Labs does not receive payment-card details through the app. Apple’s purchase records and privacy practices apply.
Support and diagnostics
When you email us, we receive the message and anything you choose to include. Settings → Send Feedback prepares an editable message with app version, device family and operating-system information. Books and diagnostic files are not automatically attached. Please do not send private books, passwords, account credentials or payment-card details.
We use support correspondence to answer and follow up your request. Contact us if you want to ask about access, correction or deletion of information you have sent; any applicable record-keeping obligations still apply.
The ordinary public app excludes temporary engineering diagnostic screens, recorders and export tools. Explicitly configured internal test builds may include offline recording and user-triggered export; those exports are not automatically uploaded. Apple’s own operating-system diagnostic-sharing choices remain separate.
Advertising, analytics and this website
The reviewed Free application has no advertising or automatic third-party analytics uploader. This Aflow Read website uses static pages without our own advertising, analytics scripts or contact form. It is hosted using GitHub Pages; GitHub may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, under the GitHub Privacy Statement. Email and file-provider services have their own privacy practices.
