Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
Intro
MarkView is a lightweight, local-first Markdown reader. It is designed to open and read Markdown files on your device without requiring an account or uploading your documents to a server.
Information We Do Not Collect
The MarkView app does not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, photos, documents, Markdown file contents, in-app usage analytics, advertising identifiers, or tracking data.
The MarkView app does not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or tracking technologies.
Local Files and Documents
When you open a Markdown file from the Files app, a folder, or the system Share Sheet, MarkView reads the selected content locally on your device. Your documents are not uploaded to us.
Files received through the system Share Sheet may be copied into MarkView's local app storage so they can be opened by the main app and revisited from recent documents. These local copies are not uploaded, synced, or shared with us.
To reopen external files from the Files app, MarkView may store security-scoped bookmarks and recent document information on your device. This information is used only to let you reopen files you selected before.
Reading Preferences
MarkView may store reading preferences, recent documents, pinned items, and reading positions locally on your device. These settings stay on your device and are not sent to us.
Clipboard Preview
If you use the clipboard preview feature, MarkView reads clipboard content only after you choose to preview it. Clipboard content is used locally for preview and is not uploaded.
External Images and Links
Core reading features work without network access. If a Markdown document contains remote images or external links, those third-party resources may be requested or opened when they are loaded or selected. Those external resources are outside MarkView's local reading workflow and are governed by the third party's own policies.
Website Analytics
The MarkView website may use privacy-friendly, self-hosted Umami analytics to understand aggregate website usage, such as page views, referral sources, device type, browser type, operating system, country or region, and a small number of key interaction events.
Website analytics are used only to improve the website and product presentation. We do not use this information to identify specific individuals, we do not collect document content through website analytics, and we do not sell personal data.
Support Emails
If you contact us for support, we may receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We use this information only to respond to your request.
Children's Privacy
MarkView is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
