Canto is made for readers. We don't run ads, we don't sell your data, and we don't share anything about your reading life with third-party advertisers. This page explains what we do collect, and what for.
What we collect
- Apple ID identifier — to sync your bookmarks and preferences across your devices. We never see your email unless you choose to share it.
- Your saved quotes, themes, and settings — stored so the library feels like yours, and so you don't lose it if you change phones.
- Anonymous usage signals — which screens you open, how long sessions last — so we can tell whether the feed is working. No personal identifiers attached.
- Crash diagnostics — if the app fails, a report is sent via Apple's crash tooling so we can fix it.
What we don't collect
- Your location.
- Your contacts, photos, or calendar.
- Your browsing outside the app.
- Anything you haven't explicitly given us inside Canto.
Push notifications
If you opt into daily quote notifications, we send a single push per day at the time you choose (or 8:00 AM on the free plan). You can revoke permission from iOS Settings at any time.
Subscriptions
Canto Pro is billed through your Apple ID. We see a subscription status — active, expired, trial — but never your card details.
Data deletion
Email hello@canto.page with the subject "Delete my data" and we'll purge your record within 30 days.
