Hi nostr:nprofile1qy0hwue69uhngve5xpkkz6tw9ej82cmtv3h8xtn0wfnn5dpcxsuz7q22waehxw309um8yemhvd6xxdfn09e8qmt4wac8smehdemngdp5ddshzcfjdpuksdm00yekc7r8xahhxdr2d358ja3jw9nxgmrkw9jzummwd9hkuw358qmrjtcqyqh04fc4hw6xm4d7dd7634msqfndz9n5hyfms9u2mk6u9e3anpenzccjrdl , this is Drew, head of software at Daylight. Just want to clear up some misconceptions here.
Everything in Reader *IS* end-to-end encrypted, and we do not, and will never, sell any such data to any third party. We have crash logs and things of this kind that are only used for internal development. Another example is that, just physically, our servers have to detect that your tablet is trying to update. In practice we collect less data than any device you have likely ever owned, and will continue to make things more and more paranoiacally secure and private to the greatest extent we can.
If anyone has questions about what we do, how it compares with other devices, and so on, feel free to message.
I'll also add that we openly encourage you to use the device however you wish and even help with things like custom ROMs and so on, through the https://www.daylighthacker.wiki.
In my non-expert, non-legal opinion, the policy update doesn't substantially change anything from the previous version, but does add more detail that our lawyers have told us we need. Overall it's fairly standard. As our tech improves and the business grows, we will be able to afford more specificity and bespokeness in these kinds of documents. For now it's good that the notice we sent is sparking a discussion.
Long-term, a totally custom operating system that isn't based on Android, and incorporates things like homomorphic encryption at rest and so on is still the goal, but it will take time to get there.
