Listening Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Listening is a free audiobook player for public domain works from LibriVox. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the app does and does not collect.

Data We Do Not Collect

Listening does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Specifically:

• No account or sign-up is required
• No personal information is collected (name, email, etc.)
• No analytics or tracking tools are used
• No advertising SDKs are included
• No data is shared with third parties

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores the following data locally on your device only. This data never leaves your device:

• Your listening progress and bookmarks
• Downloaded audiobook files
• Your favorites and library
• App preferences (theme, playback speed, etc.)

Network Requests

The app connects to the internet for two purposes:

• Our API — to browse and search the LibriVox catalog. No personal data is sent with these requests. To protect the service from abuse, the server briefly counts requests per IP address in memory; addresses are not stored or logged.
• LibriVox / Internet Archive — to stream or download audiobook audio files. These are third-party servers; please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Children's Privacy

The app does not collect any data from anyone, including children. All content is public domain literature.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
