Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 February 2026

PageListener is operated by Coiron Ltd, a company registered in Scotland (SC504810). We take your privacy seriously and aim to be transparent about what we collect and why.

What we collect

Account information. When you create an account, we store your email address, a display name you choose, and a securely hashed version of your password. We never store your password in plain text.

Uploaded documents. When you upload a PDF, we extract the text to generate audio. The original PDF is stored so we can render page thumbnails. The extracted text, generated audio, and timestamps are stored so you and others with the share link can listen without re-processing.

Sensitive and confidential documents. PageListener is not a secure document vault. Uploaded documents are stored in cloud infrastructure, processed by third-party text-to-speech services, and may be accessible to anyone with a share link. Do not upload documents containing sensitive personal data, financial information (such as bank statements, tax returns, or payslips), medical records, legal privileged material, passwords, or other confidential information. We are not responsible for any loss or exposure resulting from your decision to upload sensitive content.

Other people's data. If you upload a document that contains personal information about other people (such as names, contact details, or financial data in meeting notes, reports, or statements), you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share that information with a third-party service. Do not upload documents containing other people's personal data unless you have their consent or a lawful basis to do so.

Listening data. We record which documents you listen to, your playback position (so you can resume where you left off), and basic information like your browser's user agent string. This helps us improve the service and lets you pick up where you stopped.

Usage data. We may collect general usage data such as pages visited and features used. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.

How we use your data

We use your data to provide the service: generating audio from your PDFs, saving your listening progress, maintaining your library, and enabling share links. We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not train AI models on your documents.

Where your data is stored

Your account data and library are stored in a database hosted by Supabase (cloud infrastructure). Audio files and PDFs are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage. Text-to-speech processing uses Microsoft Azure's Edge TTS service. Our application runs on Railway cloud hosting.

Share links

When you share a document link, anyone with that link can listen to the audio. They cannot access your account, library, or other documents. Share links do not expire. If you want a shared document removed, contact us.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your session token (so you stay logged in), your language preference, and your playback position. We do not use third-party cookies or tracking pixels.

Data retention

Your account data is kept for as long as you have an account. Uploaded documents and generated audio are kept indefinitely to serve share links and cached playback. If you delete your account, your personal data (email, display name, library, listening history) will be removed. Shared audio may remain available if others have the link.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or ask us to delete your account and personal data. To make any of these requests, get in touch through our contact page.

If you are in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR and EU GDPR respectively, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or your local supervisory authority.

Children

PageListener is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the "last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
