Inventory of Data: What is Kept, Where Does It Go

It is the full list showing clearly what data of yours stays where, how long it is stored, and under what circumstances it leaves the device.

Your reading habits never leave the device. When you use the feedback form, it (only the text you write) is sent voluntarily. The only exception that goes out of the device is the ‘Search web’ function; and this does not run automatically, it only transmits the searched word directly to the provider. No data indicating who you are is collected.

Example: Not a single request going automatically even to the search engine unless you press a button.

How long the items will stay on the device is determined from the settings. For periods like 3, 5, 7 days, the item ceiling is 50; for 14 days it is 100; for the 30 days and unlimited options the ceiling is 200 items (these ceilings are applied by half for feeds without date information). The ‘Search web’ exception has four guarantees: 1) It only works when the button is pressed, it is not automatic. 2) Only the searched word goes; the device ID or location does not go. 3) The request goes directly to the provider, there is no MagPunk server in between. 4) If the endpoints cannot be reached, offline suggestions continue to work.
