Your reading stays with you.

PagiSona is a reading and listening app from KiBRAX LLC for iPhone and for Macs with Apple silicon using Apple’s iPhone-app compatibility. This notice explains how PagiSona handles your information. It supplements the KiBRAX Privacy Policy; this product-specific notice controls if the two conflict about PagiSona. The advertising section below applies to the advertising-enabled iPhone and iPad update (version 1.1 and later). Version 1.0 has no advertising SDK. Reading and speech processing remain on device in both versions.

Your documents and reading information

When you import a PDF or supported DRM-free EPUB, PagiSona makes a copy in its own local storage. Your original file is unchanged. PagiSona processes text locally to display the reader, organize passages, search words and sentences, and generate speech. It stores library details such as title and author, reading positions and history, playback-speed preferences, highlights and their selected text, and preferences including library order and language choices. Search runs on your device; PagiSona does not send queries to a search service or keep a separate search-history log.

PagiSona does not upload imported books, reading text, highlights, search queries or generated narration to KiBRAX or an online speech service. The app has no account sign-in, in-app purchases or cloud document backend. It does not provide account-based library synchronization. The advertising-enabled update includes Google advertising and consent SDKs; their separate processing is explained below, not covered by a “no data collected” claim. Generated audio and cover-rendering caches are held temporarily in memory; extracted reading plans can also be cached in local files.

Advertising and your privacy choices

Advertising is available only after you choose that you are 18 or older on this device. You can choose Under 18 or Prefer not to say, or leave the choice unanswered, and continue using the full reader without ads. The choice is stored locally; no birth date is requested or sent. Before an adult choice, the app does not start Google advertising or consent requests. You can change the choice in Settings. Changing away from the adult choice stops future ad requests and discards pending ads; it does not undo information already sent while advertising was enabled.

On iPhone and iPad, the advertising-enabled update uses Google AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) for occasional interstitial ads and privacy choices. The first three times you open a book from Library to listen are ad-free. After that, an ad may appear before a Library listening start or after a book finishes, never during narration. Resuming the same book within 12 hours of that book’s session start does not show a new start ad; pausing or resuming inside the reader does not count as a new Library start. Activity does not extend the 12-hour window. There are no ad banners over the reader and no ads during narration. Advertising is disabled on Mac and while a CarPlay connection is detected. Reading does not require an ad to load or an internet connection.

We restrict Google requests to limited ads, also request non-personalized ads, do not request access to Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA), and disable Google’s publisher first-party identifier. These restrictions remain even if a privacy message offers broader consent choices. Limited ads disable personalization and identifier-dependent advertising features; they do not mean no data is processed. Google may use limited local storage for fraud prevention. PagiSona does not request GPS access. Google may receive an IP address (which can indicate approximate location), device and app information and identifiers permitted by your settings, ad requests, impressions and interactions, and crash, performance and other diagnostic information. Google uses this information to deliver and measure permitted ads, prevent fraud, and operate and improve its services. Consent-related information is used to manage your choices. PagiSona does not send book titles, authors, document text, search queries, highlights or generated narration in ad requests.

Where required, a privacy message appears before advertising is requested. You may accept or decline the available choices and revisit them using Advertising privacy choices in Settings when available. Declining consent does not prevent reading; whether a limited ad can be served depends on your choices and Google’s applicable rules. The app keeps listening-start counts and ad timing locally to enforce its frequency rules. Clearing reading history does not reset these advertising controls.

Google’s processing and retention are described in Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. An advertiser’s site or app has its own practices if you choose to open an ad. To report an inappropriate ad, use Settings or email support@kibrax.com; please avoid including private book content. Contact us about applicable access, deletion or other privacy rights. KiBRAX cannot remotely delete local reading data, and requests about Google-held information may also need to be made through Google’s privacy controls.

Language packs and starter books

Emma is included for English in the current update; older versions also included Michael. You may request optional language packs in Settings. Apple delivers voice and pronunciation resources using its on-demand resource service; the request identifies the pack, not a book or its text. Apple handles network information according to its own policies. Installed packs generate speech locally and can be used without an internet connection.

Where regional starter-book delivery is offered, PagiSona reads the country code of your current App Store storefront through Apple's StoreKit service to choose the available starter collection. This is separate from your preferred device language, which selects the language of KiBRAX originals. PagiSona does not use GPS or IP-based location for this choice and does not send the storefront code to KiBRAX or keep a separate record of it. The resulting library and delivery receipts are stored locally.

Eligible classics may be requested automatically from Apple's on-demand resource service during initial or updated starter delivery, or when you choose to restore included books in Settings. That request identifies the fixed classic collection, not your imported documents. If the storefront is unknown or the download is unavailable, local KiBRAX originals are used. Book availability is not a determination of your physical location.

Removing a language download does not remove books or reading history. Pack export creates an unencrypted ZIP containing only third-party pack data, its descriptor and license notices—not your library, reading history, document text or generated audio. Nothing is sent merely by preparing an export; you choose a destination using the share sheet.

Copy, highlights, sharing and media controls

Highlights are stored locally with their selected text and source positions. They survive a reading-history reset. You can remove individual highlights through the text-selection menu.

Copy puts only the text you select on the system clipboard. Clipboard sharing, including between your devices, depends on platform settings. If you choose another system selection or sharing action, the selected content may go to the app or service you choose.

During listening, the current book title, cover and playback information are supplied to system media controls. Depending on your device, they can appear in Control Center, on the iPhone Lock Screen and on compatible connected media interfaces. A locally generated cover or the app icon is used if artwork is unavailable. These surfaces are not private to PagiSona's reader.

Sharing files into PagiSona stages local copies in storage shared by the app and its Share extension, then imports them into Library. This is not an upload to KiBRAX. A source app or file provider may retrieve its own cloud copy. Successfully handled staging entries are removed; failed or pending imports can remain for retry.

Storage, deletion and backups

• To remove an imported document, open its Library cover’s context menu and choose Remove local copy. PagiSona removes its managed copy and associated reading record/cache and attempts to remove the book's local highlights. Your original source file is unchanged. Storage failures or interrupted operations can leave local remnants.
• Clear caches and reading history stops playback and resets every file's saved position, completion, last-opened history after confirmation. It keeps documents, saved highlights, installed voices and global preferences. This reset has no undo. If the reset or cache cleanup cannot finish, the app reports that result.
• Interrupted imports or removals can leave app-owned recovery copies. PagiSona moves recognized remnants into protected recovery storage. These copies are excluded from backup and are not removed by the reading-cache action. This version has no separate recovery-file viewer or purge control; re-import the original to add it to Library.
• Removing a voice pack removes its installed assets, not books, highlights or reading history. It does not remove exported copies. A temporary export ZIP can remain until the system cleans temporary storage; copies sent elsewhere are controlled by that destination.
• Managed documents, library information, highlights and other app data may be included in backups according to your device and backup settings. Regenerable reading-plan caches and recovery storage are marked as excluded from backup. Removing data in PagiSona does not manage copies already in backups, a file provider, the clipboard, email or an export destination. On iPhone, offloading an app keeps its documents and data. Use your operating system’s storage and backup controls when you intend to remove local app data and retained backups; these controls differ on iPhone and Mac.

KiBRAX cannot remotely inspect or delete the library stored on your device. Use the app's controls and your device's storage and backup settings to manage local copies.

Apple services and external links

When a neural voice cannot read a passage, PagiSona can use a matching installed Apple system voice and shows a fallback notice. Apple controls its voices and system services. Apple may also handle platform diagnostics, App Store/TestFlight information or backups according to your settings and its policies. PagiSona does not automatically send a support report containing a document, its text or generated audio. This is not a promise that every operating-system diagnostic is free of file information.

Opening a website or license link uses your browser or selected external app. The destination receives the ordinary information involved in that visit and applies its own data practices. PagiSona does not fetch remote images, stylesheets or scripts to read an imported EPUB. On-device processing does not guarantee the security of every device or external service. See Apple's Privacy Policy for Apple's services.

Contacting support or requesting privacy help

Email support@kibrax.com. The in-app support link opens your email app; it does not send a message or attach files automatically. If you send email, KiBRAX and the email services involved receive your address and the message, screenshots or attachments you choose to send. KiBRAX uses that correspondence to address your request. Retention and applicable privacy rights follow the KiBRAX Privacy Policy; this notice does not promise a new fixed retention period.

Please describe the problem without sending a book, personal document or private excerpt. You may use the same address to ask about information you have sent to support or request its correction or deletion, subject to applicable requirements. Local reading data remains under your device's controls.

Future changes

This notice distinguishes the original version from the advertising-enabled update. Later features that change data handling need an updated notice and appropriate disclosures before they are offered. The published notice will show its effective date.

This website

The PagiSona marketing website is separate from the app. Our hosting and network providers, including OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare, process ordinary request information such as IP address, browser details, and request time to deliver and protect the site. We have not added advertising, behavioral analytics, a newsletter form, or a website account system. No imported book or reading history is transmitted to this website by PagiSona. External links and support email are governed by the services you choose. See the KiBRAX Privacy Policy for general company data handling.
