Reading happens on your device. Publishing stores what you write in a repository that belongs to you. Neither needs to be interesting to anyone else.
Subscriptions, articles, and reading history stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud account if you turn that on. Nook operates no server that sees them, and there is no analytics or tracking in the app.
Opening an article fetches it from whoever published it, exactly as a browser would. Those publishers may log the request; Nook cannot speak for them.
Turning on publishing creates an account, which means Nook holds:
| Your identifier | A DID, the stable identity your records belong to. |
|---|---|
| Your handle | Public by design. It is the address people find you at. |
| Your email address | Held by the repository host, used only for the messages on the email page. |
| Your posts | Public records in your repository, rendered into pages and feeds. |
Your password is never stored by Nook. It goes to the repository host that keeps your records, and Nook has no way to read or reset it.
You can export your records in full at any time, and delete them. Deletion removes the record and the pages and feeds built from it. Both remain available even if publishing is suspended: losing access to a service should not mean losing access to your own writing.
Open an issue on GitHub. An email address for support arrives with the public release; until then this is the channel that is actually monitored, and pointing at one that is not would be worse than pointing at none.
