Two parts of this are now wrong for 4.0 and will contradict your "no data collected" privacy label โ€” the Cloud Sync section is the big one, and there are two smaller factual drifts. Let me give you a corrected version you can paste, then explain the changes so you can adjust to taste. The critical fix: the entire Cloud Sync paragraph describes the 3.x architecture you removed โ€” "encrypted cloud storage," "local encryption before transmission." Leaving that in is the single most likely thing to get 4.0 rejected, because a reviewer reading "encrypted cloud storage" next to a privacy label saying "no data collected" sees a direct contradiction. It has to be rewritten to the Wi-Fi sync reality. Here's the corrected description: Sandi's List โ€“ Available on iOS and macOS Your personal book library, beautifully organized. Visual Experience Enjoy a stunning interface with optional Liquid Glass effects, dark and light themes, and smooth animations throughout. View your collection your way with masonry grids, cover galleries, calendar views, and customizable list layouts.
