Watch: subprocessors data sharing
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
Grants Read Bean permission to share user information with third-party vendors—including hosting providers, AI services, and analytics providers—for purposes of operating and improving the Service, establishing a broad subprocessor disclosure and permission clause.
Creates an exception to normal data-protection obligations by permitting Read Bean to disclose personal information when required by law, when necessary to protect Read Bean's or third parties' rights, to prevent fraud or illegal activity, to assist law enforcement, or to prevent imminent harm, overriding user confidentiality expectations in defined circumstances.
Confers on users, subject to jurisdictional availability, the right to know what personal information Read Bean collects about them.
How to read this page: Overall risk rates what Read Bean's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set. Both trace to the cited findings.
Partially verified — Privacy Policy — Verified (read in full, 19 findings); Terms of Service — Capture under review. Findings below are from fully-read, verified documents only; remaining core documents are pending capture.

" Read Bean may disclose personal information if required by law, or when we believe doing so is necessary to protect our rights or third-party rights, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to assist law enforcement, or to prevent imminent harm."
Creates an exception to normal data-protection obligations by permitting Read Bean to disclose personal information when required by law, when necessary to protect Read Bean's or third parties' rights, to prevent fraud or illegal activity, to assist law enforcement, or to prevent imminent harm, overriding user confidentiality expectations in defined circumstances.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" At Read Bean, we care about your personal information, so we have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, and share it. This Privacy Policy applies to Read Bean websites, mobile apps, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to Read Bean’s collection, use, and sharing of your personal information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please note that Read Bean is constantly testing and improving its product features. Any features discussed in this Privacy Policy may not be available to all users or in all jurisdictions."
Establishes the scope of the policy (websites, mobile apps, related services) and deems continued use of the Service as the user's agreement to Read Bean's collection, use, and sharing of personal information under the policy's terms, thereby incorporating the entire set of data-processing permissions by reference.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" To register for a Read Bean account, you may provide us with basic information such as your email address and phone number (where applicable). If you choose to register using certain social logins (e.g., Google or Facebook), Read Bean may receive information about you from your social login provider, including your email address and contacts. You can manage your Read Bean account and social logins in your Settings."
Defines the categories of personal information collected at account registration (email address, phone number) and the additional data that may be received from social login providers (email address, contacts), establishing the factual basis for downstream processing permissions.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" After registering, a profile page will be created for you (“Profile”). Your Profile may include information such as your username, a bio, and an optional profile picture, which we refer to as “User-Generated Content.” Your phone number and email address are not included in your public Profile. Other Read Bean users may be able to search for your Profile using your username or email address (if you opt in). Your Profile may also include information about your reading progress or achievements. By default, your Profile is public and may be visible to other Read Bean users and anyone else on the internet. You can change your Profile’s visibility in your Settings. Read Bean may scan or review any User-Generated Content you submit, or share it with a third-party content moderation service, to ensure compliance with our community standards. We may restrict or delete User-Generated Content if it violates our guidelines or for any other reason."
Defines the content and default visibility of a user's public Profile, specifying which fields are included (username, bio, optional profile picture, reading progress) and which are excluded (phone number, email), and describes optional discoverability settings, establishing the scope of personal data exposed within the Service.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Read Bean may offer a Contact Sync feature that helps you find friends or contacts who also use Read Bean. If you enable Contact Sync, the app will access the contacts on your phone for the sole purpose of identifying which of your contacts use Read Bean. We do not store your contacts’ phone numbers; instead, we store a secure, encrypted hash. This means we cannot identify your contacts’ real phone numbers or contact them. If you have provided your phone number to Read Bean, other users who have that number in their contacts may be able to find your Profile."
Describes the Contact Sync feature's data handling procedure: if the user enables it, phone contacts are accessed solely to identify which contacts use Read Bean; contact phone numbers are not stored in raw form but as a secure encrypted hash, meaning Read Bean cannot identify or contact those individuals. This defines both the scope of data access and a protective technical safeguard limiting data exposure.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" When you use the Service, we generate data about your activity, which may include device information, log data, and your IP address. We also record your engagement with reading activities to track your progress and personalize your experience. We may use your IP address to suggest other Read Bean users you might know (e.g., if you share a Wi-Fi network). We may retain your IP address for a limited time, unless exceptional circumstances require a longer retention period."
Describes the automatic generation and use of activity data (device information, log data, IP address) when the Service is used, including its use to track reading progress, personalize the experience, and suggest known contacts via shared network. Also contains an embedded data retention notice stating that IP addresses are kept for a limited time unless exceptional circumstances require longer retention, constituting a limitation on retention scope.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Read Bean may process your personal information according to the following legal bases: to provide the products or services you request, to protect and promote Read Bean’s legitimate interests, to comply with legal obligations, and with your consent."
Defines the legal bases on which Read Bean processes personal information: service delivery, legitimate interests, legal compliance, and consent. This is a foundational definitional clause that governs the lawful grounds applied to all downstream processing described in the policy.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Read Bean may use your email address or phone number to send you: Essential Service notifications."

AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Read Bean is designed for users interested in improving their Mandarin reading skills. We may not knowingly offer full access to children under the age of 13 (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) without parental consent. If we discover we have collected personal information from a child under this age without proper consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly."
Imposes a procedural obligation to delete personal information collected from underage children without proper consent upon discovery, establishing a remedial duty tied to the age restriction stated in the prior segment.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" We generally retain your personal information until you delete your account. However, we may retain certain data for longer periods if necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our interests, resolve disputes, investigate misuse, or fulfill other legitimate purposes."
Establishes a default data retention period of until account deletion, and creates exceptions permitting longer retention for legal compliance, protecting Read Bean's interests, resolving disputes, investigating misuse, or other legitimate purposes, defining both the baseline retention obligation and the circumstances that override it.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" If you interact with our AI features (e.g., chatbots, text or audio assistance), your input (text or audio) may be shared with third-party AI vendors. These vendors might store your content for their own operational purposes. Please do not submit any personal or confidential information when using AI features."
Grants Read Bean permission to share user input (text or audio) with third-party AI vendors, and discloses that those vendors may store the content for their own operational purposes, creating an open-ended downstream data use by subprocessors beyond Read Bean's direct control. Also issues a disclaimer advising users not to submit personal or confidential information when using AI features.
