<p>
XOWA is commited to user privacy. Throughout the app, it pursues these four principles:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Request minimal permissions.
</li>
<li>
Store minimal user data.
</li>
<li>
Never upload user data.
</li>
<li>
Provide ways to remove user data.
</li>
</ul>

XOWA requires 3 permissions:

</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Read_External_Storage">Read External Storage</span>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
This permission is needed to read XOWA databases on the external SD card.
</li>
<li>
No other directory is read aside from the chosen XOWA directory. In other words, XOWA does not use this permission to read through all your folders on the SD card.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Internet">Internet</span>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
This permission is used to retrieve full-scale images from the Wikipedia website.
</li>
<li>
This permission is never used to upload data to the internet

</h2>
<ul>
<li>
This permission is used in tandem with the Internet permission to retrieve full-scale images from the Wikipedia website. It is always paired with the Internet permission.

<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="What_information_is_stored_in_XOWA.3F">What information is stored in XOWA?</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA only collects user data related to application usage. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Opening pages will generate entries in the <b>History</b> screen.
</li>
<li>
Searching for pages will generate entries in the <b>Search</b> screen.
</li>
<li>
Saving pages will generate entries in the <b>Saved pages</b> screen.
</li>
<li>
Pages with images will save temporary files to the applications cache.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
XOWA collects no other data in the background. This includes application logging data. Logs will be added in a future release. When that happens, this section will then updated to reflect new details on that function.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="When_does_XOWA_share_this_information.3F">When does XOWA share this information?</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA never shares user data. XOWA never uploads data. All data remains on your device unless you choose to do something with it. The only thing you will see is a button that allows you to send crash reports to the developer.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="How_does_XOWA_store_this_information.3F">How does XOWA store this information?</span>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Data for the <b>History</b> and <b>Search</b> and <b>Saved pages</b> screen are saved with application data.
<ul>
<li>
This data can be cleared on its respective screen. For example, the <b>History</b> button has a trash can icon to clear all entries.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
XOWA saves all images to temporary cache. To clear this cache, please do the following:
<ul>
<li>
Go to Settings -&gt; Apps -&gt; XOWA -&gt; Storage
</li>
<li>
Press "Clear Cache"
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
