Privacy
Last updated 11 November 2026
- We keep only what it takes to run your account: how you signed in, what you have read, and what you have bought.
- We never see your card details or your X password.
- No ads, and nothing that follows you around other websites.
- You can see, download or delete what we hold at any time.
What we keep
- How you signed in. The X account you signed in with: its name, handle and picture. Not your email, and nothing that lets us post for you.
- What you have read. The Articles you have opened, when, and the language you read them in. This is your Articles list.
- Your balance and purchases. How many articles you have, each one added or used, and each pack you have bought: what it was, when, and what it cost.
- Your settings. Your language and your choice of light or dark.
What we never have
- Your card or bank details. Payment is handled entirely by Dodo Payments; we are only told that a pack was bought.
- Your X password, or anything from your X account beyond what you agree to share when you sign in with X.
- Your posts, messages, followers or anything else on X.
Before you sign in
If you open an Article without signing in, your browser keeps a small note so the article can carry on where you were after you sign in, and to count how many articles have been opened that day. It also keeps the language you chose, so xread opens in it next time. If you arrive through a link someone shared, we count that the link was opened so the person who shared it can be thanked; they are told only how many times, never by whom. It stays in your browser. We use nothing else to recognise you, and nothing to track you on other websites.
Who else handles your information
A few companies help run xread. Each gets only what it needs to do its part:
- X, when you sign in. It tells us who you are; its own privacy policy covers what it keeps.
- Dodo Payments, who sell you the packs as the merchant of record and handle the payment and any sales tax. Their privacy policy covers your payment details.
- Cloudflare, where xread runs and where your account is stored.
The text of the Articles you open is sent to the services that fetch and translate it. Nothing about you goes with it: not your name, not your account, not who asked.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising.
How long we keep it
- Your account, Articles list and settings: until you delete your account.
- The record of what you bought: for as long as tax and accounting law requires, even after you delete your account.
- Translations of public Articles are kept so the next reader can open them straight away. A translation is not about you, and is not linked to you once your account is gone.
Your choices
- See or download everything we hold about you: write to support@xread.page.
- Correct anything that is wrong: the same address.
- Delete your account at any time from Settings. Your account, your Articles list and any articles left go at once. Articles left are not refunded, and the screen says so before you confirm.
We reply within 30 days. If you live in the UK or the European Union and are not happy with our answer, you can complain to your data protection authority.
Where your information is
xread runs on Cloudflare's network, so your information may be handled in the United States and in other countries where Cloudflare operates. Wherever it is, it is protected the same way.
Children
xread is not for children under 13, or under the age your country sets for agreeing to this yourself. We do not knowingly keep information about them; if we learn we have, we delete it.
Changes
If we change this page, the date at the top changes. If a change affects what we keep or who we share it with, we tell signed-in readers before it takes effect.
