Your drawings stay yours.
Romby Reader opens drawings on your computer. Nothing is uploaded unless you pin a set up for your team.
- Without an account nothing about you or your drawings reaches us.
- With Pinup we keep your email, the sets you pin up and your team's markups and replies, only for your team.
- No ads, no tracking, no selling. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
Drawings and markups on your computer
When you open a PDF in the Mac app, the Windows app or the web version, it's read and drawn on your computer. Markups, measurements, scales and settings are saved into the PDF or on your computer. None of it is sent to us.
Pinup: sharing with your team
Pinup is optional and needs an account. When you use it we keep:
- Your email address, to sign you in with a one-time code. There are no passwords.
- Your teams and the role you have on each.
- The sets you pin up (the PDF files), and the markups, scales, replies and mentions your team adds to them.
- An activity log of who did what and when (pinned a set, changed markups, removed a reply), so a team can see its history.
Only members of the team a set was pinned to can open it. Your data is encrypted on its way to us and where it's stored. A copy of each pinned set you open is kept on your computer so it works offline; signing out removes those copies.
The waitlist
If you join the waitlist we keep your email address, when you joined and which form you used. We use it to write to you when Romby Reader is ready, and for nothing else. To stop spam, a scrambled form of your internet address is kept for one day. Ask us and we'll take you off the list.
This website and the apps
- No cookies, analytics or tracking on this website.
- The website's type comes from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google for it.
- The apps check for updates by downloading a small file from GitHub. Nothing about you is sent with it.
- Our hosts keep ordinary server logs (such as internet addresses) for a short time to keep things running and secure.
Who helps us run it
We use a few companies to provide the service. They handle data only to do that job for us:
- Supabase: sign-in, the database and file storage for Pinup and the waitlist.
- Resend: sends the sign-in code emails.
- Cloudflare: hosts this website and the web version.
- GitHub: hosts the app downloads and updates.
We don't share your data with anyone else, unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it, and deleting it
We keep your Pinup data while your account exists. You can delete your account in the app (account menu, then Delete my account). Teams where you're the only member are deleted with their pinned sets, and your email is replaced by "Deleted user" in other teams' history. A team's owners and admins can take sets off Pinup at any time. You can also ask us to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.
Children
Romby Reader is made for professionals and isn't meant for anyone under 16.
