Privacy
Vitur is built for people who save and read articles, not for harvesting data. We do not use AI to read your queue, train models, or profile you. Your saved links, article text, highlights, and account details belong to you.
The short version
- Vitur stores the data needed to run your reading queue.
- The product database and article storage are hosted in the EU.
- We do not sell your data, run ads, or train AI models on your reading.
- You can ask for a copy of your data, correction, export, or deletion.
What we collect
Account data: your email address, sign-in state, role, plan, and session records.
Reading data: saved URLs, article metadata, readable article text, read state, and highlights or notes you create.
Waitlist data: the name and email you submit, plus confirmation records so we know you asked to hear from us.
Technical data: request logs, IP address, browser details, rate-limit records, and security events. We use these to keep the service reliable and protect accounts.
Billing data: when paid plans are available, we store your plan and billing status. Payments are handled by a payment provider. We do not store card numbers.
Why we use it
We use your data to provide Vitur: saving URLs, fetching readable article versions, syncing your queue, showing highlights, sending sign-in and signup confirmation links, and handling paid plans.
We also use a small amount of technical data for security, abuse prevention, service monitoring, and legal or accounting duties.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal data.
- We do not build advertising profiles.
- We do not use your saved articles, highlights, or notes to train AI models.
- We do not read your browsing in the background.
Browser extension
The Vitur extension reads the active tab URL only when you open the extension. It sends that URL to Vitur so the page can be added to your queue. The page title is shown in the popup but is not sent by the extension.
The extension uses your existing Vitur browser session to check that you are signed in. It does not keep a separate auth token, run background tracking, or read other tabs and pages you visit.
Mobile crash reports
The iPhone app uses Sentry's EU service to receive crash reports and a small amount of diagnostic context: app and build version, operating-system version, device model, source-code stack frames, and fixed error categories. These reports are used only to find and fix reliability problems and are kept for no longer than 30 days.
Mobile crash reports are configured without account identity, email, saved URLs, search terms, article text, highlights, notes, session credentials, local database contents, breadcrumbs, logs, screenshots, view hierarchy, replay, profiling, or behavioral analytics. Native crashes can include the native crash stack and system diagnostic details needed to understand the failure. Sentry is configured not to store client IP addresses.
Limited use
We use extension data only to authenticate your request, save the URL you chose, fetch a readable copy, show it in your queue, and keep Vitur secure and reliable.
We do not sell, rent, or transfer extension data for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, or any purpose unrelated to Vitur. Specialist providers process only the minimum data needed for their work: hosting and security infrastructure may process the URL, while email and payment providers receive relevant account or billing data, not your browsing activity. We may also use data when required by law, to investigate security or abuse, or to provide support you requested and permitted. We may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand and improve service reliability.
People do not inspect your saved URLs or article text unless access is necessary for security or a legal duty, or you ask for support and give us permission. Access is limited to what is needed for that specific purpose.
Hosting and providers
Vitur's product data is hosted in the EU. We may use specialist providers for email, infrastructure, security, and payments. They only receive the data they need to do that job.
If a provider needs to process personal data outside the EU, we use appropriate safeguards and keep that transfer as narrow as we can.
How long we keep it
We keep account and reading data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove or anonymize personal data from the live service, except where we need to keep limited records for security, fraud prevention, tax, accounting, or legal reasons.
Backups age out on their normal schedule. Waitlist records stay until we invite you, you ask us to remove them, or we no longer need the list.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, export, restrict, object to, or delete your personal data. Some rights depend on the reason we use the data, and some records must be kept for legal or accounting reasons.
We will answer privacy requests within one month when we can verify that the request comes from you. You can also contact your local data protection authority.
