Data Export Policy
Your data is yours: what you can export, when, and exactly what happens after you cancel.
Last updated 2026-10-01
You've seen beloved tools shut down with barely enough time to get your data out. Readster's export policy exists so you never have to trust us on this — you can check it, in writing, and act on it in one click.
What you can export
From your dashboard, at any time:
- Sources — your full source list as OPML (feeds, podcasts, YouTube channels, Bluesky accounts) plus your newsletter senders.
- Archive — everything you've ingested, in a machine-readable format.
- Briefs — every brief you've received.
- Watchlist — entries and your notes.
No support ticket, no waiting period, no export fee.
On every plan
Export is always available — on Readster Pro, during the free trial and on Readster Free. Every plan exports everything, the same way.
If you cancel
- Cancelling Readster Pro, or letting the trial end, deletes nothing. Your account moves to Readster Free, and export stays fully available for as long as you keep the account.
- If an ended subscription leaves an account on no plan at all — for example, because its email address was never verified — export stays available for 90 days after the subscription ends. After that window, we delete its archive, as described in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Want your data deleted? Delete your account in your settings, or email [email protected] from your account address and we'll delete immediately.
If Readster ever shuts down
We commit to keeping export available for at least 90 days from any shutdown announcement. This commitment survives beta status, pivots, and bad quarters — it's the floor, not a goal.
