Your data and privacy
What data Kevra keeps, what leaves your phone, what others can see and how to exercise your rights.
The basics: your books are yours, and your private reading activity is never sold or used for advertising. The full policy is at joinkevra.com/privacy.
Your files
- When you bring in a book from your phone, the file stays on your device. Kevra only uses its title, author, ISBN and cover to recognize it.
- Books in your clouds (Dropbox, Google Drive…) are read from there, with the permission you give when connecting them.
- A file only goes through our servers when you ask for it: when you save it to Kevra Cloud, send it to another device or to your Kindle, or if your phone can't convert a format and the server does it.
What we do keep
Your account (name, username, email), your library and its progress, your notes, highlights and bookmarks, and what you create in the community (reviews, comments, clubs, lists). That's what lets everything follow you from one device to another.
What others can see
- In Settings → Account → Edit profile, Who can see what I read decides who sees your reading. See who sees what you read.
- Public profile on the web and Show my stats are on the same screen, and you can turn them off.
Usage stats
Settings → Help improve Kevra sends which features you use and for how long (for example, "dictionary: 3 times"), with nothing from your books: no titles, nothing you search for or highlight. It's on by default; tap it to turn it off, and when it's off nothing is collected.
Alerts and errors
Settings → Alerts and errors keeps a record on your device of what has failed (downloads, conversions, imports). It stays on your device: it only leaves it if you tap Send to support.
The reading companion and AI
When you use the reading companion, recaps or quizzes, the necessary text of the book and your question are sent, never your name or email. If you don't use them, nothing is sent.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction, deletion or a copy of your data by writing to privacidad@joinkevra.com. You can export your highlights yourself from Settings → Your highlights.
To delete everything, see delete your account.
