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.

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Petr Jahoda
justRead.app
Email: support@justread.app

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
IP Anonymization: We have IP anonymization enabled in PostHog. Your full IP address is never stored. PostHog is hosted in the European Union (EU), meaning your analytics data does not leave the EU.

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:

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or selling to third parties.

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)

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:

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.

11. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data under the GDPR:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@justread.app. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

13. CalOPPA Compliance

In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we make the following disclosures:

14. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
