About Readerbear

Readerbear is a language-learning app that helps users understand content in foreign languages.

These terms apply to your use of Readerbear, including the website, browser extension, and related services.

Accounts and Subscriptions

To use Readerbear, you will need to create an account with a valid email address.

You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for any activity that occurs under your account.

Readerbear subscriptions are for personal use only. You may not share, resell, transfer, or provide account access to others without written permission.

Imported Content

Readerbear allows users to import content from websites, ebooks, documents, subtitles, and other sources for personal language-learning purposes.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to access and use any content you import into Readerbear and that your use complies with applicable laws and the rights of any copyright holders.

You retain ownership of any content you import into Readerbear.

To provide Readerbear's features, you grant us a limited right to process, analyze, transform, and display imported content solely as necessary to operate the service.

Readerbear will not sell, publish, redistribute, or publicly display your imported content except where required by law.

Content that is already publicly available may be indexed, linked to, recommended, displayed, or otherwise surfaced within Readerbear's discovery system. Readerbear does not claim ownership of such content and any rights remain with the original copyright holders.

Payments

Readerbear offers recurring monthly and yearly subscription plans.

By subscribing, you authorise Readerbear and its payment providers to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis until your subscription is cancelled.

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will retain access until that period expires.

Unless required by law, subscription payments are non-refundable.

Privacy

  • Anonymous analytics data about how Readerbear is used

We use analytics to better understand how users interact with Readerbear, improve existing features, identify issues, and guide product development.

Readerbear is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. We do not sell user data or use advertising trackers.

Business Transfers

If Readerbear is merged, or acquired, your account information may be transferred as part of that transaction. If this happens, we will make efforts to notify affected users as early as possible.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
