Privacy Policy for Orinoco Delphi eBooks Reader
This Privacy Policy describes in simple terms how the application handles data. Installing or using the App means you accept the terms below.
## Summary
Orinoco Reader is an offline PDF reader. It contacts our server **only** when you activate a book with a license key. No analytics, no ads, no tracking SDKs, no crash reporting.
What we send to the server (only during activation)
When you press “Activate”, two values are POSTed over HTTPS:
| Field | Value | Purpose | | —————— | —————————- | ————————– | | `activation_token` | the license key you typed | Verify your purchase | | `user_id` | a per-install ID (see below) | Detect license-key sharing |
**The `user_id`** is a random number the App generates on first launch (via the OS `CreateGUID` call).
– It is **not** the IMEI, MAC, Android ID, or Advertising ID — the App does not read any of those. – This is used for **Fraud prevention & security**.
What we don’t ever collect
Location, contacts, photos, files, camera, microphone, IP logging, hardware identifiers, analytics, or advertising data. The App requests only the `INTERNET` permission.
What stays on your device
Bookmarks, last-page-read, library list, and the `user_id` itself live only in the App’s private storage. They are deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its data through Android Settings.
Server response
The activation server replies with the email and customer name the seller registered against your key (data you gave the seller at purchase). The App displays these so you can see the license is bound to your purchase. They are received, not transmitted.
Retention, sharing, deletion
– `user_id` values are kept on the server, to detect unauthorized book sharing. – We do **not** sell, rent, or share activation data with any third party. No third-party SDKs are embedded. – To delete your server-side record (email, name, key history), email us. Deletion within 30 days unless legal or accounting retention applies.
Other
– Network traffic uses HTTPS.
