Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

Archive Reader for Safari does not collect any personal information. We do not:

• Collect names, email addresses, or contact information
• Store browsing history or website URLs
• Track user behavior or website visits
• Use cookies or similar tracking technologies
• Collect device identifiers or IP addresses
• Access or store files from your computer

Usage Data

The app processes web page URLs locally on your device to clean them before sending to archive services. This processing:

• Happens entirely on your device
• Is not stored or transmitted to us
• Only removes query parameters and tracking elements
• Is necessary for the app's core functionality

2. How We Use Information

Since we don't collect personal information, we don't use it for any purpose. The app's sole function is to:

• Process URLs locally to remove unnecessary parameters
• Connect you to public web archive services
• Provide access to archived web content

3. Third-Party Services

Public Web Archives

Archive Reader connects to public web archive services to access historical content. These services:

• Have their own privacy policies and terms of service
• May collect standard web server logs (IP address, user agent, etc.)
• Are not controlled by Archive Reader
• Operate independently with their own data practices

Firebase Remote Config

We use Firebase Remote Config to manage app settings remotely. This service:

• Does not collect personal information
• May collect basic app usage statistics
• Helps us update archive service URLs without app updates
• Is governed by Google's Privacy Policy

4. Data Storage and Security

Since we don't collect personal data, there is no data to store or secure on our servers. However:

• All URL processing happens locally on your device
• No browsing data is transmitted to our servers
• The app uses secure HTTPS connections to archive services
• Your privacy is protected by design

5. Your Rights and Choices
