Privacy Policy
What we collect, why, and what we do with it
Information we collect
When you sign in with Google or Discord, we receive your email address, display name, and provider account ID. You can also set a public username and upload an avatar.
As you use the site, we store your activity — reading progress, bookmarks, ratings, reviews, booklists, tags, and likes. This is what powers the community features.
How we use it
- To run the service — show your activity, personalize your experience
- To power community features — public reviews, lists, tags, and rankings
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing. Ever.
Third-party services
- Google and Discord for authentication
- Google Translate for translating novel metadata — no user data is sent
Cookies
We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in (expires after 7 days). That's it. No analytics cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party ad cookies.
What's public vs private
- Public: your username, avatar, reviews, public booklists, tags, and ratings
- Private: your email address and OAuth provider details
Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept as long as your account is active. If you want your account and data deleted, email us at [email protected] and we'll take care of it.
Changes
If we update this policy, we'll note it in our changelog. Continued use of the site after changes means you're okay with the updated policy.
