Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Folio collects and how it’s used. We aim to collect as little as possible. Folio does not require an account to use.

What we store on your device

Most of Folio runs in your browser. We use your device’s local storage to remember things like your listening progress, playback preferences, your daily free pick, and your membership state. This data stays on your device and is not an account.

What we collect

• Payments: in-app purchases are processed by Apple. Apple handles the transaction and billing details; we never see or store your card number, and Apple does not share it with us. Subscriptions bought before August 2026 were processed by Stripe.
• Usage analytics: we use PostHog to understand anonymous, aggregate product usage (e.g. app opens, sample completions, paywall views, checkouts). This helps us improve Folio.
• Author follows: when you follow a Verso author, we store that follow with a random, anonymous device identifier so we can show accurate follower counts. It is not linked to your name, email, or payments.
• Support: if you email us, we receive your email address and message.

How we use it

To provide and improve the Service, process purchases, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests. We do not sell your personal information.

Third parties

• Apple — App Store in-app purchases (see Apple’s privacy policy).
• Stripe — legacy subscriptions bought before August 2026 (see Stripe’s privacy policy).
• PostHog — product analytics.
• Cloudflare — hosting and delivery of the app.

Cookies & local storage

We use local storage for the app to function and minimal analytics. We do not use advertising cookies.

Data retention & your choices

You can clear Folio’s local data anytime by clearing your browser’s site data. To request access to or deletion of information held by us or our processors (e.g. Stripe billing records), email us and we’ll help.

Folio is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region).

International
