Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026. This policy explains how ReaderMastodon - LectorDeMastodon handles data when you use the app.
Summary
ReaderMastodon is a reading client for Mastodon. It does not create first-party accounts, does not embed analytics or advertising SDKs, does not sell data, and does not operate its own server to process your timeline.
Mastodon account
To use the app, you need an account on a Mastodon instance. Sign-in uses OAuth with the instance you choose. The access token is stored locally on device and can be revoked from your instance.
Data sent to your instance
The app communicates with your configured Mastodon instance to load timelines, lists, notifications, profiles, favorites, bookmarks, and media. When you reply, boost, favorite, bookmark, mute, block, or report content, that action is sent to your instance. Your instance privacy policy also applies.
Translation
ReaderMastodon uses the translation APIs available on the system to translate posts into your selected language. The app does not send your posts to a ReaderMastodon-owned server for translation.
Local storage
The app may store preferences, language settings, reading state, necessary caches, and OAuth credentials on device. You can remove this data by deleting the app or revoking access from your instance.
Photos and media
ReaderMastodon asks for add-to-Photos permission only when you use actions to save images or videos. The app does not read your full photo library to operate the timeline.
Support
If you contact support, we process the information included in your email to answer your request. Do not send secrets, passwords, or unnecessary sensitive data by email.
Children
The app is not specifically directed to children under 13. Each Mastodon instance may have its own age and usage rules.
Your rights
If you are in the European Union, you can request access, correction, or deletion of data controlled by ReaderMastodon by writing to rdmastodon@gmail.com. Data managed by your Mastodon instance must be requested from that instance.
Changes
We may update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. The version published on this page is the current reference.
