Stash

Privacy policy

The short version: Stash has no servers and no account. Your library lives in your own iCloud. We collect nothing.

What we collect

Nothing. Stash has no servers of its own, no accounts, no analytics, and no trackers. We do not see what you save, what you read, your highlights, or anything else you do in the app.

What stays in your iCloud

So your shelf can follow you between your iPhone and iPad, Stash stores your library in your own iCloud account, the same place your other Apple data lives. It is governed by your iCloud settings and Apple's privacy terms, and it never passes through us. This includes:

• The articles, newsletters, EPUBs, and PDFs you save, and their reading content.
• Your reading position, read/unread state, and highlights.
• Your in-app preferences, such as text size and filters.

You can remove any item in the app, or manage Stash's iCloud data in your device's iCloud settings.

Saving a web page

When you save a link, your device fetches that page directly from its source so it can be read offline and without clutter. That request goes from your device to the website you are saving, not to us. We never receive the URL or the content.

Permissions, and why

• iCloud — to sync your library privately between your own devices. Used only for your Stash data.
• Files / document access — only when you choose to import an EPUB or PDF, so the app can read that file onto your shelf.
• Network access — to fetch the web pages you ask it to save. No other network calls are made on your behalf.

Third parties

None. Stash includes no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no software development kits that phone home. The only network activity is your device fetching the pages you choose to save.

Payments

Stash is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; Stash never stores or sees your payment details.

Children

Stash is a general-audience reading app and is not directed at children. Because it collects no personal data, it gathers nothing from anyone, regardless of age.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the date below will change with it.
