Page Light
Privacy, briefly.
Page Light does not intentionally collect personal information, analytics, advertising data, or usage profiles. It has no accounts and no servers of its own. What it does send, and to whom, is set out below.
What is stored, and where
Your reading settings, saved styles, collections, reading history and reading positions are kept in your browser's local storage — or, in the app, on the device itself. They are not transmitted to us, and there is no server of ours holding them.
Clearing your browser data, or deleting the app, deletes all of it permanently. Export writes a copy to a file you control; Import reads one back.
What leaves your device
When you search or open an article, your device requests it directly from Wikipedia's public API, and images load directly from Wikimedia's servers. Those requests go to the Wikimedia Foundation, not through us, and are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
The web version is served from Vercel, which — like any web host — processes standard server request logs, including IP address and user agent, under its own terms. We add no analytics, tracking pixels, cookies or fingerprinting.
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. This applies to the website, to the app installed from your home screen, and to the Android app — all three are the same web content. The separate iOS app does not do this: it uses typefaces already on the device.
What we never do
- No accounts, sign-ins or profiles
- No analytics, telemetry or crash reporting
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers
- We do not sell personal data, and do not share it for advertising
- No cookies set by us
Children
Page Light does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. Note that it displays Wikipedia, which is not a curated or age-filtered encyclopedia and may contain material unsuitable for younger readers.
Not affiliated with Wikipedia
Page Light is an independent reader. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation. Article text is contributed by Wikipedia's editors and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0; images carry their own licences.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the date below changes with it. Since the app collects nothing, any change would most likely be a clarification rather than a new practice.
Who makes this
Page Light is made by Sami Serrag — one person, not a company. There is no team, no investors, and no business model that depends on knowing anything about you.
