EPUBSwift Privacy Policy

EPUBSwift is a reading, note-taking and book-writing app. This policy explains what the app does with your information. Last updated: 9 November 2026.

In short

• Your books, highlights, notes, sketches and the books you write stay on your device. The app does not send them to us or to anyone else.
• You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
• The app has no servers of ours to send anything to: all tools run on your device.
• On the free plan the app shows ads from Google AdMob, including optional videos you can choose to watch. Premium removes the ads. See “Ads on the free plan” below.

Who we are

EPUBSwift is published by PDFSwift (pdfswift.cc). In this policy, “we” and “us” mean PDFSwift. You can reach us at support@pdfswift.cc.

What stays on your device

• Your library: copies of the EPUB books you import, their covers, and your reading position and progress.
• Highlights and notes you make in a book, and the sketches you draw on its pages with Apple Pencil or your finger (each sketch is saved with a picture of the page it was drawn on).
• Books you write in the Create tab: their text, chapters, covers and pictures.
• Files the tools make (converted, repaired or merged books and exports). They are saved where you choose through the share sheet. After you share a file, the receiving app's or service's policy applies to it.
• Settings, the count of free exports used this month, and purchase status, so the app knows which plan you have.

Deleting a book, a note or a sketch removes it from the app. Deleting the app removes all of this from the device. A backup of your device, made by iCloud or your computer, may include the app's data under Apple's terms. The app does not sync your library to any server of ours.

Pictures and files you choose

• Photos: when you add a picture to a book you are writing, iOS shows its system picker, which gives the app only the pictures you choose.
• Files: you choose each EPUB or PDF you import and each place you save a result, through the system file dialogs.
• The app does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts or calendar permissions.

Ads on the free plan

The free plan is supported by ads served by Google AdMob: a banner, a native card, an occasional full-screen ad after you close a book, and optional rewarded videos. A rewarded video never plays by itself: you tap a button to watch one, to remove the “Made with EPUBSwift” note from one book export, or to earn extra exports. Premium has no ads.

• What Google and its advertising partners may receive when ads load or play: your device's IP address, device and advertising identifiers, the ad shown and how you interacted with it, and approximate location. Google handles this under its own privacy policy.
• Your choice: on iPhone and iPad the app asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before it uses your advertising identifier for tracking. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, you still see ads, but they are not personalised with that identifier. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security, then Tracking. Declining never limits any feature of the app.
• What the ad provider never receives from us: your books, notes, sketches, pictures or exports. They are not shared with advertisers or used for advertising.
• We do not sell personal information and we do not build advertising profiles of our own.

Purchases

Premium (monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime unlock) is bought through the Apple App Store with your Apple ID. Apple processes the payment; we do not receive your payment details, your Apple ID or your name. The app asks the App Store whether you own Premium and uses only that to unlock features. “Restore Purchases” asks the App Store to confirm your purchases again.

What we do not collect or do

• We do not collect personal information through the app.
• We do not include analytics or crash-reporting services of our own.
• We do not read, upload or share your books, notes, sketches or writing.
• We do not use what you read or write to train AI models. The app has no AI features.

Children

EPUBSwift is a general-purpose reading and writing tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Deleting your data and your rights

Your data lives on your device, so you control it: delete a book, a note or a sketch in the app, or delete the app. We hold no copy of your content and have no account to delete. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its use. For anything the ad provider holds about you, use Google's controls. You can also write to support@pdfswift.cc and we will answer within a reasonable time.

Security

Because your books and writing stay on your device, their safety depends mainly on your device's protection: a screen lock, encryption and updates. The only network connections the app makes are to Apple (purchases) and to Google (ads).
