AuthorMark Privacy Policy

Last updated October 30, 2026

AuthorMark is a reading checklist app. This page explains what information the app handles. In short, your collection stays with you, and the only information I receive is what you choose to send as feedback.

Your collection

The checkmarks, ratings, notes, dates and copy details you enter in AuthorMark are stored on your device. If you're signed in to iCloud, they're also synced between your devices through your own private iCloud account. I can't see or access this data.

Purchases

AuthorMark Pro is a one-time purchase made through the App Store. Apple handles the payment. I don't receive your payment details, name or purchase history.

Feedback you send

Pro readers can send feedback, bug reports and author requests from inside the app. When you do, I receive:

• The message you write
• The author's name, for an author request
• Your email address, only if you choose to enter one so I can reply
• The app version and build, your iOS version and your device model, so I can tell which version a bug report came from
• A random ID the app creates on your device. It isn't linked to you, and it's only used to limit how many messages one install can send

Your message is sent over an encrypted connection to a server I run on Google Cloud, which forwards it to my email inbox (Gmail). That server also sees your IP address while handling the request, and uses it to limit spam.

I use this information only to read and answer your message and to improve the app. I don't sell it, share it for advertising, or give it to anyone else. I keep a message for as long as I need it to respond or to act on it.

No tracking

AuthorMark has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. It doesn't collect your location, contacts, photos or browsing activity.

Your choices

You can use AuthorMark without ever sending feedback. If you have sent something and want it deleted, or want to know what I hold, email me at the address below and I'll take care of it. To remove your synced collection, delete the app's data in iCloud settings on your device.

Children

AuthorMark isn't directed at children, and I don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll post the new version on this page and update the date above.
