Privacy Policy

Information we use

• Account details: your name, email, optional profile image, and sign-in information used to create and secure your account.
• Reading activity: your place in the guide, progress, saved performances, and preferences, so you can return to them and sync between devices.
• Feedback and support: what you send us. Feedback can include your account, session, and page identifiers to help us understand it.

We use this information to provide the guide, respond to requests, secure accounts, and maintain and improve the app. Audiobook narration uses the guide's text; it does not record your voice.

Analytics and cookies

We and our analytics providers collect usage and technical information, including pages viewed, taps and playback activity, device and browser details, IP addresses, identifiers, errors, and performance data. Providers may derive approximate location from an IP address. Analytics can be linked to your account and helps us understand use and diagnose problems. Our Google Analytics tag disables advertising storage, advertising user-data use, Google Signals, and advertising personalization.

Cookies and device storage support sign-in, saved settings, analytics, and embedded media. You can manage browser cookies in your browser settings; blocking or clearing them may affect sign-in and saved preferences.

Sign-in and embedded media

If you sign in with Google or Apple, that provider processes information under its Google privacy policy or Apple privacy policy.

Loading or playing an embedded YouTube video sends information such as your IP address, device details, identifiers, and playback activity to Google. YouTube may use this information for personalization and advertising under Google's privacy policy. You can review Google's privacy controls. Other services you open through links have their own privacy practices.

Who receives information

We use service providers for hosting and data storage, sign-in, analytics and diagnostics, feedback forms, email delivery, and narration. They receive information needed for these functions. We may also share information when legally required or needed to protect rights, safety, or security.

Providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Their retention and data-use practices vary; the sign-in and media links above explain choices offered directly by those providers.

Keeping and deleting information

We keep information for as long as needed to operate your account, provide the features described here, respond to support requests, and meet security or legal obligations. Backups and security logs may remain for their retention periods.

To delete your account, open Account settings and choose Delete account. After confirmation, we remove your account, sign-in sessions, saved progress, and watchlist from our account records. You can also disconnect Dr. Gradus in your Apple Account's Sign in with Apple settings.

For help with feedback, support messages, or information held by external providers, email zach@drgradus.com. We may need to verify your identity and coordinate with the provider.

Your privacy choices

Contact zach@drgradus.com to request access, correction, a copy, or deletion of your information, or to withdraw consent where processing relies on it. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to object to or restrict processing and to complain to a privacy regulator. We will explain any applicable retention requirements when handling your request.

Children and security

Dr. Gradus is not directed specifically to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.

We use safeguards such as encrypted connections, password hashing, and access controls to protect information.

Changes and contact

We will update this page when our practices change and provide additional notice where required.
