Versed measures how the app is used, and says so here. Which screens and chapters you open, how your quizzes go and whether a purchase went through are reported to PostHog; crashes are reported to Firebase Crashlytics. No ads, nothing sold, no tracking across other apps. The reports are on by default, and Settings › Account turns them off. You can read without an account.

Two kinds of thing. Usage and crash reports, described below, carry an ID the app makes up when it is installed. They do not carry your name or your phone’s advertising ID. If you sign in, Versed also keeps your email and your reading progress, so they can follow you to another phone. That progress is chapters cleared, XP, streak, saved subjects and trivia history. From then on the reports are tied to your account too. No advertising SDK, no contacts, no location, no photos.

The reports cover the screens you open, the chapters you start and finish, the cards you see, and your quiz answers, right or wrong. They also cover trivia runs, subjects saved or downloaded, sign-ins, settings changes, and taps on a reminder or the widget. They show when the paywall appears, which plan you pick and whether the purchase completes. Each report names a subject and a chapter number. It never includes the chapter’s text, the words of a quiz answer, or anything you typed. Your name never leaves the phone. Crash reports carry the error, the phone model and the system version. PostHog holds the usage reports, in the US. Firebase, which is Google’s, holds the crash reports.

Settings › Account › Usage measurement. It starts on. Switch it off and the app stops sending usage and crash reports straight away, until you switch it back. Reading, quizzes, streaks and sync work the same either way. To have reports already sent deleted, write to support@tryversed.app from the address on your account, if you have one, and we will purge them.

Optional for reading. Versed will suggest signing in now and then, starting after your first chapter, and “Not now” is always an answer. Versed+ is billed through the App Store or Google Play and follows that store account; signing in is optional and carries your progress. Sign in with Apple or Google; the account holds your email and your progress. Until you sign in, progress lives only on this phone. Sign out and the syncing stops. Delete the account in Settings and it is gone for good, with everything synced to it.

Your chapter progress, XP and streak live in a local database. Your name, theme, daily goal, companion, reminder settings and the made-up ID the reports carry live in local storage. Fetched photographs sit in the app’s cache. All of it stays on this device and goes when the app does. If you signed in, the same progress also lives in your account until you delete it.

Five, at most. Photographs from Wikimedia Commons, fetched on demand and cached afterward. New subjects, when there are any, from tryversed.app, in a plain request with no identifiers in it. Your progress, to your own account, if you sign in. Usage reports to PostHog and crash reports to Firebase Crashlytics, unless you turn them off in Settings › Account. No ads, nothing sold, no tracking across other apps.

If you turn reminders on, Versed schedules a local notification. No server sends it. You’re asked once, only if you opt in, and you can turn it off in Settings whenever you like. With usage reports on, opening a reminder is counted like any other tap.

Versed asks for nothing personal to read. Usage reports carry a made-up ID and what was tapped, never a name; an account adds an email address and reading progress. None of it is used for advertising, shared with advertisers, or sold.

If any of this changes, it changes here in the app, in the same plain language, not in a redirect to somewhere else.
