This Privacy Policy explains how justRead.app (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Petr Jahoda, collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you use our website at justread.app and our mobile application (collectively, the “Service”). We are committed to transparency and to protecting your privacy in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), and other applicable privacy laws.

If you have any questions about how your data is processed, or if you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using the details above.
2. Data We Collect
We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide and improve the Service. Below is a complete overview of the categories of data we collect:
| Category | Data Collected | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email Address | Your email address | Provided by you when joining the waitlist | Waitlist management and product updates |
| Usage Analytics | Page views, feature interactions, app performance metrics, general usage statistics | Collected automatically via PostHog (website & app) | Service improvement and product development |
| Pseudonymized Device Identifier | A unique device identifier that is transformed into an anonymous pseudonym (e.g., “beardy beaver”) | Generated automatically in the app for feature voting via VoteFirst.app | Enabling anonymous feature voting without collecting personal data |
Data We Do Not Collect
We do not collect names, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, precise location data, advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID), or biometric data. We do not use session replay or screen recording. We do not create individual user profiles that could identify you personally.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
- Service Improvement: Understanding how users interact with the Service to identify bugs, improve features, and enhance the user experience.
- Product Development: Using aggregated and anonymized usage patterns to inform our development roadmap and prioritize features.
- Feature Flagging: Delivering and testing new features for specific user groups via PostHog feature flags.
- Waitlist & Communications: Sending you product updates, launch notifications, and other communications related to the Service.
- Feature Voting: Enabling you to vote on features and view the development roadmap through VoteFirst.app.
- Technical Support: Diagnosing and resolving technical issues.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or selling to third parties.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under Article 6(1) of the GDPR:
| Legal Basis | Applies To | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Email address collection; analytics cookies on the website | You provide your email voluntarily when joining the waitlist. Analytics cookies are set only after you consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time. |
| Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Anonymized and pseudonymized analytics; feature flags; feature voting | We have a legitimate interest in understanding how the Service is used and improving it. Because analytics data is IP-anonymized and aggregated, the impact on your privacy is minimal. We have conducted a balancing test and determined our interest does not override your rights. |
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Website
Our website uses PostHog analytics, which sets first-party cookies to understand how the site is used. These cookies are set only after you provide consent through our cookie banner. No cookies are placed for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking purposes.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog analytics cookies | First-party | Usage analytics, feature flags, site performance | Up to 1 year |
If you decline cookies via the cookie banner, no analytics cookies will be set. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the website.
Mobile App
The mobile app uses the PostHog SDK for analytics and feature flags. This does not use browser cookies but may store a local anonymous identifier on your device. You can opt out of analytics collection at any time through the app settings.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We use the following third-party services to operate the Service. Each acts as a data processor on our behalf:
PostHog (Analytics & Feature Flags)
- What it does: Collects anonymized usage analytics and manages feature flags across our website and mobile app.
- Data processed: Page views, feature interactions, performance metrics. IP addresses are anonymized and never stored in full.

- Privacy policy: posthog.com/privacy
Sender (Email Communications)

VoteFirst.app (Feature Voting)

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers. We only share data with the third-party service providers listed above, and only to the extent necessary for them to provide services on our behalf.
We may disclose your data if required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of justRead.app, our users, or the public.
8. International Data Transfers
Our analytics data is processed by PostHog within the European Union, so no transfer of analytics data outside the EEA occurs.
Your email address stored with Sender and data sent to VoteFirst.app may be processed outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or reliance on an adequacy decision, to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
9. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Email address | Retained for as long as you remain on our waitlist or are an active user. You may request deletion at any time. |
| Analytics data | Retained in anonymized/aggregated form for as long as necessary to improve the Service. Because this data cannot identify you, GDPR data subject rights do not apply to it. |
| Pseudonymized device identifier (VoteFirst) | Retained for as long as the feature voting functionality is active. The identifier cannot be traced back to you. |
10. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all communications between your device and our servers.
- IP anonymization to prevent storage of full IP addresses.
- Use of EU-hosted infrastructure for analytics data.
- Limiting access to personal data to only those who need it to operate the Service.
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.
