Bitread operates German Check (“the App”). This Privacy Policy explains how the App processes your writing and how optional usage analytics work.

Your Writing

The App uses Apple Intelligence and Apple’s on-device language model to check German writing.

Your writing and corrected text are processed locally on your device. The App does not upload them to Bitread, Amplitude, or any external content-processing server.

We do not operate servers for storing or processing your writing. The App does not provide cloud storage or maintain external copies of your text.

Information Stored on Your Device

The App stores a small number of settings locally, including whether you completed onboarding and your analytics preference.

These settings remain on your device and can be removed by deleting the App.

Optional Usage Analytics

The App offers optional usage analytics to help us understand how the App is used, diagnose problems, and improve its reliability.

Analytics are disabled unless you explicitly select “Share usage data.” If you select “Don’t share,” the analytics service is not initialized and no analytics events are sent.

When analytics are enabled, we may collect:

• App launches, sessions, and basic lifecycle events

• Whether writing was started or a check was submitted

• Whether a check succeeded or failed

• General error categories and model availability

• Processing time

• Word count, but not the words themselves

• Whether a writing task was selected

• The number of checks performed during the current app view

• Whether a result remained visible for at least 15 seconds

• App version, device model, operating system version, platform, and preferred device language

• A randomly generated pseudonymous analytics identifier

The analytics identifier is not your Apple ID, advertising identifier, or Apple identifier for vendors. It does not directly identify you by name or email address.

Information We Do Not Collect Through the App

We do not collect or transmit:

• Your writing or corrected text

• Names, email addresses, or phone numbers

• Account or registration information

• Precise or approximate location

• IP addresses

• Advertising identifiers

• Apple identifiers for vendors

• Contacts, photos, or files

• Screen recordings or session replays

Your Analytics Choice

You can use every feature of the App without sharing analytics.

You can change your choice at any time in “Setup & Privacy” within the App. Disabling analytics stops future analytics collection but does not automatically delete analytics collected previously with your consent.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Third-Party Analytics

We use Amplitude, Inc. to provide optional product analytics. The App is configured to send analytics to Amplitude’s EU service.

Amplitude processes this information on our behalf for analytics purposes. We do not use analytics data for advertising or to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

More information is available in Amplitude’s Privacy Notice.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain analytics data only for as long as reasonably necessary to understand App usage, diagnose problems, and improve the App. We delete it when it is no longer needed or when required by applicable law.

You may request deletion of previously collected analytics by contacting us at the address below. Because the App does not use accounts, we may need additional information to locate a particular pseudonymous analytics record.

Contacting Us

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to your request, provide support, or meet legal obligations.

We retain correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to processing.

You may withdraw analytics consent directly in the App. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.

Optional analytics never include writing or corrected text.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited analytics and contact information described in this policy. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, our analytics practices, or applicable requirements change.

Updates will be reflected by revising the “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated within the App where appropriate.
