Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

Pagewright is published by Alpenlume, the name under which Mariusz Maliszewski — a private individual resident in Switzerland, trading as a sole proprietor — publishes apps (“we”, “the developer”). Mariusz Maliszewski is the controller for the purposes of this policy.

For anything to do with your privacy, write to alpenlume@gmail.com; we answer every message ourselves. Our full postal address is given on request, and is shown with the app on the App Store in the European Union.

What we collect

Nothing. Pagewright has no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no advertising identifier, no crash-reporting service and no tracking of any kind. We run no server for the app. We do not build profiles, and we do not sell, rent or share personal information — we do not have any.

The App Store's “App Privacy” label for Pagewright is therefore “Data Not Collected”.

What stays on your device

The information you put into Pagewright is stored only on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, protected by the system's own protection — iOS and iPadOS encryption with your passcode, or on a Mac your login password and FileVault if you have turned it on. That includes:

• the documents you write, open, mark up or convert — they are ordinary .docx, .pdf, .rtf and .txt files: on iPhone and iPad in the app's own folder (shown in the Files app), on a Mac wherever you keep them, because the app opens and saves them in place
• on iPhone and iPad, the folders and colour tags you use to organise them, and which files you starred or opened recently
• a signature you draw, kept on this device so it can be placed on a page again
• the name you type in the Mac app's Settings, which goes on your notes and marks
• on iPhone and iPad, the original of a file, kept once so a first change can be undone with Revert to Original; on a Mac the system's own versions do this

If your device backs up to iCloud or a computer, that backup is made by the system under your settings and Apple's privacy policy; we never see it. Deleting the app deletes everything it stored.

Camera

On iPhone and iPad the camera is used only while you scan paper pages with the document scanner. The pages are read on your device and turned into a PDF there; nothing is sent anywhere. The Mac app has no camera feature: it makes a searchable PDF from pictures you choose, recognising their words on the Mac.

Photos

A photo you put in a document or on a PDF page is chosen by you in the system's own photo picker (on a Mac, the open panel). Only that photo is handed to the app — it gets no access to the rest of your library — and a copy is placed inside the document, at a size that keeps the file small unless you choose full quality. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Microphone and speech

While you tap Dictate, the microphone listens and your words are recognised on this device with Apple's offline speech model, then written into the document. The sound is never saved and never sent anywhere.

Summaries, translation and reading aloud

A summary, the key points or a plainer version are written by Apple Intelligence on the device, where it is available, from the document's own words only. Translation and reading aloud are done by the system's own translator and voices, which may ask Apple for a language to be downloaded; the document's text is not sent to the developer or to anyone else by the app.

Files

A document you import, open, save or export comes from and goes to the place you pick in the system's own file picker, open and save panel or share sheet — never anywhere else.

Printing and sharing

When you print a document, the system sends it to the printer you pick; when you share it, it goes only to the person or app you choose.

Permissions

Pagewright asks for a permission only at the moment a feature needs it, says why, and works without it where it can. You can change any of them at any time in Settings › Pagewright.

• Camera (iPhone and iPad, only while scanning)
• Microphone and Speech Recognition (only while you dictate)
• Files and folders you pick (on a Mac, the system asks for each one)

Apple, Siri and purchases

Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. Pagewright never sees your name, card or address; it asks the App Store only whether this Apple Account owns the app or a subscription. Apple's privacy policy (apple.com/legal/privacy) governs the transaction.

Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight. If you use Pagewright's actions with Siri or the Shortcuts app, your request is processed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, and the app receives only the action and the values it needs to carry it out.

Sharing. When you share something from the app, the system hands it to the app you pick, which sends it under its own privacy policy. Nothing is sent unless you send it, and we never learn where it went.

If you write to us

If you email alpenlume@gmail.com, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach, and use them only to answer you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering, or the performance of our contract with you (Art. 6(1)(f) and (b) GDPR; Art. 31 FADP). Messages are kept for as long as the conversation needs and deleted within 24 months after it ends, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.

Our email is provided by Google (Gmail), which processes messages on our behalf and may do so in the United States and other countries, under Google's safeguards for international transfers, including standard contractual clauses. We share support messages with nobody else.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you (usually none), and have it corrected, deleted or handed to you. In particular:

• Switzerland (FADP): the rights to information, correction, deletion and data portability, and to complain to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, edoeb.admin.ch).
• EU and UK (GDPR): the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, to withdraw consent, and to complain to the supervisory authority where you live or work.
• California (CCPA/CPRA): the rights to know, delete and correct personal information, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We have not sold or shared personal information in the past 12 months, do not use sensitive personal information, and have collected none except what you send by email, which is used only to answer you.

To use any of these rights, email alpenlume@gmail.com. We answer within 30 days and never charge for it.

Children

Pagewright is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age for consent in your country, and collects nothing from anybody. If you believe a child has sent us personal data by email, write to us and we will delete it.

Security and automated decisions

Because nothing leaves your device, your information is protected by your device's own security: its passcode or password, Face ID or Touch ID, and its encryption. Pagewright makes no automated decisions about you and does no profiling.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date, and a significant change will be noted in the app's release notes. A change will never permit collecting data retroactively.
