Privacy Policy

Curio Garden is an informational reading and listening experience built around Wikipedia content. You can browse without an account, or you can sign in to sync bookmarks across devices.

The service is designed to keep some convenience features on your device when you are signed out, while storing signed-in bookmarks on the service so they can follow your account.

• Account information from Clerk, such as a stable account identifier and, depending on your sign-in method, profile details like your name, email address, or profile image.
• Signed-in bookmark data, including saved article slugs, titles, and timestamps, so bookmarks can sync across devices.
• Browser-stored data for signed-out use, such as guest bookmarks, reading history, listening history, and interface preferences like theme and playback settings.
• Basic technical and analytics data used to operate and improve the service, such as performance and diagnostic information from hosting and analytics providers.

• To sign you in and keep your session working securely.
• To sync signed-in bookmarks across devices.
• To remember signed-out preferences and local convenience data.
• To deliver audio features, improve reliability, and understand service performance.
• To prevent abuse, protect the service, and troubleshoot issues.

When you use Curio Garden while signed out, some data may be stored in your browser using local storage so the app can remember things like bookmarks, reading history, listening history, and theme preference.

When you later sign in, guest bookmarks on that device may be imported into your account once so they can sync. Local history and similar convenience data remain device-local in this version of the app.

• Clerk is used for authentication and account sessions, including social sign-in providers such as Google if enabled.
• Convex is used for application data needed to power signed-in features such as synced bookmarks.
• Hosting and analytics providers may process limited technical data to run the site and measure performance.
• Wikipedia content is displayed under its own licenses and policies.
• Audio generation may rely on third-party text-to-speech tooling and infrastructure when audio features are used.

• You can browse Curio Garden without creating an account.
• You can clear browser storage through your browser settings if you want to remove device-local guest data.
• If you sign in, you can remove saved bookmarks from your account in the app.
• If you use Google sign-in, you can also manage that connection from your Google account permissions.

Curio Garden may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the service changes. Material updates will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
