I have often read in these forums that, because of Canadian privacy law, Kobo tracks only what kepubs you have on your device, and doesn't even know what ebooks you have sideloaded onto your device.
However, I have never seen this substantiated. Which privacy laws in Canada prevent Kobo from tracking your sideloaded ebooks?
A little reflection shows that it's unlikely the "Kobo ecosystem" is entirely unaware of your sideloaded ebooks. For example, Reading Life detects how many pages you've read in them.
On the other hand, this information does not seem to be preserved on Kobo's servers, or else it would probably be restored after it's been deleted, for example, during a factory reset.
So where does the truth live?
Thanks.
