ReadWiki ('we', 'our', or 'us') respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the ReadWiki mobile application. Our goal is to provide a clean, distraction-free Wikipedia reading experience without requiring user accounts or collecting personal information.

2. Information We Collect

3. Third-Party Services

ReadWiki uses the official public Wikimedia APIs to fetch Wikipedia articles, search suggestions, and media content.

• All article requests are sent directly from your device to Wikimedia servers.
