Overview

Alexandria is a classical Greek and Latin reader for iOS developed by J. Tyler Kirby. Your privacy is important. This policy explains what data Alexandria collects and how it is used.

Data Collection

Alexandria does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

  • No analytics or tracking SDKs are included
  • No advertising frameworks are used
  • No user accounts are required
  • No data is sent to third-party services

On-Device Processing

All morphological analysis, word lookup, and text rendering happens entirely on your device. No text you read or words you look up are transmitted to any server.

iCloud Sync

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, Alexandria uses Apple’s CloudKit to sync reading progress and bookmarks across your devices. This data is:

  • Stored in your private iCloud container
  • Governed by Apple’s privacy policy
  • Not accessible to the developer or any third party
  • Deletable by removing the app or disabling iCloud for Alexandria in Settings

Data Stored on Device

Alexandria stores the following data locally on your device:

  • Reading progress — which texts you’ve read and your position in each
  • Bookmarks and saved passages — passages you choose to save
  • Vocabulary lists — words you mark for study
  • Reading settings — font size, theme preferences
  • Bug reports — if you choose to submit one via the in-app reporter, the report is saved locally

None of this data leaves your device except through iCloud sync (if enabled).

Children’s Privacy

Alexandria does not knowingly collect any data from children. The app contains no objectionable content and is rated 4+.
