In your browser
- Read or Listen, the library-card switch and Shelf or List view are kept in this browser's local storage, so they're there next time. They never leave your device: the page uses them to order the ways to read.
- Prices your browser got from Apple Books and Google Books (below) are kept in its local storage for three days, so the same cards don't ask again, with a count of the day's Google requests. They're prices, nothing about you.
- Your picks, steering and filters live in the page's address, so a link you share carries them.
- The site sets no cookies. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes everything it kept.
On our server
- Picks: to answer a request, the server receives the books you picked, your steering and your filters. It doesn't store them.
- Prices: when you open a book's details and your browser can't reach Apple Books (below), the server asks it instead, sending the book's title and author, nothing about you.
- Abuse limits: to stop floods of requests, the host's firewall counts requests per IP address for a few minutes.
- Visit counts: Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without cookies. It records the page's path (and a link's campaign tags, like utm_source), never which books you picked.
- Hosting: the site runs on Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel keeps standard request logs, such as IP addresses and browser details, for security and operations, under its own privacy policy.
Other sites your browser talks to
- Open Library's cover service (covers.openlibrary.org, which serves images from the Internet Archive) sends the book covers. Like any image request, it sees your IP address.
- Apple Books' search (itunes.apple.com): for a book on your shelf whose likely price we don't have yet, and for a book whose details you open, your browser asks Apple Books for its price, sending the book's title and author's surname. Apple sees your IP address and those titles, as with any request, under its own privacy policy. It isn't told your picks or anything else about you.
- Google Books (www.googleapis.com): for a book Apple Books doesn't sell as an ebook, your browser may ask Google Books for its Google Play price, sending the book's title and author's surname with the site's key. Google sees your IP address and those titles, as with any request, under its own privacy policy.
- Links to Apple Books, Libby, Project Gutenberg, bookshops and subscriptions open those sites, under their own policies.
