There is a detailed postmortem in the linked ticket explaining exactly how this happened.

On Mac I can recommend MeetingBar [1] for that.

I wasn't aware of Pocketbook, interesting to see a smaller competitor in this market. Unfortunately they might run into the same issues discussed in this article.

They have two privacy policies. The one which seems to cover their web site [1] and one which I assume is for their devices [2].

The latter says the following:

> We collect such non identified information concerning the Application:

> […]

> Usage Data includes information about how you use our Application. By Usage Data we mean: how you use your book library, information concerning which buttons on the Application you click, which you do not, how often do you use buttons, turning on/ off the device, setting font options, changing the interface language, sending archive, changing the library settings, setting the read mode. We collect these information to make our Services better for the end-customers. Understanding of your usage preference give us the opportunity to develop better Application, which will have higher reliability, usability, compressed functionality and extremely easy startup.

The first privacy policy [1] though says they do not collect any "Special Categories of Personal Data about you".
