Privacy Policy

Last updated November 8, 2026

Fireside Folio (firesidefolio.com) is owned and operated by Trieflow LLC (“Trieflow”, “we”, “us”). It lets you browse free books, comics, magazines and puzzles and send them, and your own files, to your reMarkable tablet. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy and to our Terms of Use.

Information we collect

Account details. We collect your email address. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, whether Google has verified that address, and a Google account identifier. We receive nothing else from your Google account. If you use a password, we store only a one-way scrypt hash of it, never the password itself.
Your reMarkable connection. When you connect your tablet, reMarkable gives us an access token for your reMarkable cloud. We store it encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and use it only to carry out actions you ask for in the app.
Settings and history. We store your folder name, cover style, appearance choices, and a record of the items you sent through the app. If you add a Standard Ebooks Patrons Circle email, we store it encrypted.
Messages you send us. If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, topic and message, and we keep a copy so we can reply.
Sign-in sessions. A strictly necessary cookie keeps you signed in. On our side we store only a hash of it.
Technical data. Our server logs record request times, pages requested and IP addresses. We use them for security, abuse prevention (such as rate limits) and troubleshooting.

We do not read, copy or keep your notebooks, handwriting or documents. Files you download from your tablet pass through our server on the way to your browser and are not stored. Files you upload pass through our server on the way to your tablet and are not kept afterwards. Catalogue items such as books, comic and magazine pages and cover images are cached on our server. This is shared public content, not your data.

How we use it

We use your information only to provide and secure the Service. That covers signing you in, doing what you ask with your tablet, remembering your settings, answering your messages, and preventing abuse. We may also use it to meet legal obligations. We don’t use it for advertising or profiling.

What we don’t do

We don’t sell, rent or trade your personal information. We don’t show ads. We don’t use analytics, tracking or advertising cookies. Your data is never visible to other users. We don’t embed any third-party trackers. Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Who else processes data

reMarkable AS. Your files live in your own reMarkable cloud account, under reMarkable’s privacy policy.
Google. Google handles “Continue with Google” sign-in, and its fonts are loaded by your browser.
Catalogue sources. We fetch catalogue content from sources such as Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Wikisource, OpenStax, the Internet Archive and creators’ websites. Your personal information is never sent to them.
Cover images. To keep the Service fast, your browser loads cover and preview images directly from those sources (for example standardebooks.org, gutenberg.org, archive.org, xkcd.com and openstax.org), the same way it would if you visited them. Like any website, they can see your IP address and browser details when your browser asks for an image. We tell browsers not to send them which page you were on, and we never send them your account details.
Wikipedia and Open Library. When you open an item, your browser looks up more details about it — the work and its author — on Wikipedia and Open Library. Those requests carry only the title and author, never your account details.
Hosting and email. The Service and our email run on servers operated by Trieflow. Messages to our contact address may be forwarded through our domain provider (Namecheap) to our email inbox.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the rights, safety and security of our users, Trieflow or others, or as part of a merger, sale or transfer of the business. In a transfer, this policy will continue to apply to your information.

How long we keep it

We keep your account information until you delete your account. Contact-form messages are kept for up to two years, then deleted. Server logs are kept for a short time, usually no more than 90 days.

Security

We protect your information in several ways. Every page is served over HTTPS. Tablet tokens are encrypted, passwords are hashed and sign-in cookies are secure. Accounts are strictly isolated from each other, and attempts to sign in or misuse the Service are rate-limited. No service is perfectly secure, though, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can disconnect your tablet at any time in Settings, which deletes the stored token. You can delete your account in Settings, which removes your account, sessions and tablet connection from our servers. Files on your reMarkable are not affected. You can revoke Google access at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. Contact us and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

International users

We operate in the United States. If you use the Service from elsewhere, your information will be processed in the United States.

Changes

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. If the change is significant, we’ll tell you in the app.
