Numo Tales
Numo Tales privacy policy
Last updated: 14 November 2026
Numo Tales is an audio drama app for Android, developed and published by Novixway LLC ("Novixway", "we", "us"). This policy explains what Numo Tales does with information.
The short version: Numo Tales has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting. It downloads stories from our content server, and it keeps your listening progress on your phone. It does not send anything about you or your listening to Novixway or to anyone else.
Data kept on your phone
| Data | Why | Leaves the phone? |
|---|---|---|
| Listening position for each episode, and which episodes you finished | to resume where you stopped and to show "Continue listening" | No |
| Settings: playback speed, play next episode automatically | to keep the app the way you set it | No |
| A copy of the story catalog, cover images and episodes you heard or downloaded | so the app opens quickly and plays offline | No |
| Whether Tales Plus is active, and when that was last checked with Google Play | so locked episodes stay open while you are offline | No (Google Play keeps its own record of your subscription) |
All of this is stored in Numo Tales' private app storage, which other apps cannot read. Uninstalling Numo Tales, or clearing its storage in Android Settings, deletes all of it.
Android backup. If you have turned on Android backup, Android may include your listening progress and settings in your device backup, which Google stores under your Google account and backup settings. The subscription flag and the catalog copy are excluded.
Network use
To show and play stories, Numo Tales downloads the catalog, cover images and audio files from our content delivery network (static files hosted by Cloudflare). Like any web request, these requests carry your IP address and a generic app identifier ("NumoTales/1.0"). They do not carry an account, a device ID, an advertising ID or anything about what else you do on your phone. We do not run analytics on these requests and do not try to identify listeners. Cloudflare may keep standard technical logs for security and operations under its own privacy policy.
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | to download the catalog, covers and episodes |
| Foreground service for media playback, keep the device awake | so an episode keeps playing with the screen off, with controls in the notification and on the lock screen |
Numo Tales does not use the microphone, camera, location, contacts or your files.
Purchases
Tales Plus is a subscription sold through Google Play. Payment details are handled by Google, not by Novixway. Numo Tales asks Google Play only whether your Google account has an active Tales Plus subscription. Google's privacy policy applies to the purchase.
Children
Numo Tales is meant for teens and adults (stories may include romance, tension and mild language) and is not directed to children under 13. It collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at https://numotales.apps.novixway.com/privacy with a new date at the top.
