Xleaf Privacy Policy

Who we are

Xleaf is published by Zabure Group (U) Limited, Kampala, Uganda. Contact [email protected].

Accounts & your device

No account. No sign-up. Xleaf does not collect a name, email address or password for an account.

The following information stays on your device:

• Imported documents
• Highlights and notes
• Voice notes
• Reading progress, streaks and goals
• The profile name you type
• Translations
• Sage questions and answers

Xleaf does not upload this content. Your device’s own backup settings may include app data.

AI that runs on your phone

Sage reading assistant, AI narration, Translation run on your device.

Models and language packs download from Hugging Face and Google ML Kit only when you ask. Remove them in the Add-ons screen.

No question, answer, book or recording is sent to Zabure or an AI provider for AI processing. The separate speech-recognition and optional Report features are explained below.

Permissions & speech

Microphone

When: When you record a voice note or ask Sage out loud.

Record your voice note or provide speech to your phone’s Apple or Google speech recognizer. Xleaf keeps no recording of spoken questions.

Schedule optional local notifications on your device. There is no reminder server.

What leaves your device

Reporting an answer

When you choose to report an answer, the report contains: Only the question, answer, chosen reason, model name and platform (iOS or Android). No account or name is attached.

Reports go through Formspree to the developer to improve Sage. To request deletion of a report, email [email protected].

Advertising & your choices

The free version displays labelled ads. Google may use device identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, ad interactions and diagnostics to personalize and measure ads. Google’s consent form requests consent where required, including the EEA, UK, Switzerland and applicable US states.

Revisit ad choices in Xleaf settings. You can also reset or limit the advertising ID in your phone’s settings. On iOS, tracking happens only if you allow it in Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt.

Read Google AdMob’s advertising privacy information.

Purchases & subscriptions

Premium is available weekly, monthly or yearly. It removes ads and enables background listening. Apple or Google handles payment; Xleaf never receives card details.

Cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings, also linked from the app’s paywall. Deleting Xleaf does not cancel a subscription.

Choose “Restore purchases” in the app.

Service providers

These providers have their own privacy policies. Opening their links takes you to their websites.

Retention & deleting data

Open Settings → Erase everything, or uninstall the app. Xleaf has no account or server-side reading library to delete. Device backups may contain app data; manage these through your device’s backup settings.

Downloaded models and language packs can be removed in Add-ons.

Reports already sent are separate from device data. Request their deletion at [email protected]; deleting the app does not delete a submitted report.

For advertising information held by Google, use Google’s advertising controls. Provider retention is governed by the privacy policies linked above.

Security

Protect your device with a passcode and keep its software up to date. Device-only content is protected by your device’s security and backup settings. No device or online service can guarantee absolute security.

International processing

The providers listed above may process information outside your country. Their privacy policies explain their processing locations and applicable transfer safeguards. This does not change which reading content stays on your device.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and which law applies, you may request access, correction or deletion of personal data, object to or restrict processing, request portability, or withdraw consent.

Under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR, these rights depend on the processing and its legal basis. You may complain to your local supervisory authority or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Where California’s CCPA/CPRA applies, you may ask to know, access, correct or delete personal information, opt out of its sale or sharing, and limit qualifying uses of sensitive personal information. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. See California’s privacy rights guidance.

Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019 provides rights over personal data, including access and correction. You may contact Uganda’s Personal Data Protection Office with a complaint.

Send requests to [email protected]. We can only act on information we hold; we cannot access data that remains exclusively on your device.

Use the advertising choices described above to control personalized advertising and tracking.

Children

Xleaf is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information.
