Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 18, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account and use sharemybooks, we collect:

  • Account information — your email address, display name, and profile photo (if provided).
  • Library information — the name and location of any libraries you create, and the books you list within them.
  • Activity information — borrow requests you send or receive, and the status of those exchanges.
  • Technical information — basic browser and device data needed to operate the service (e.g. session tokens).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to:

  • Operate and improve the sharemybooks platform.
  • Connect you with other users for book-sharing purposes.
  • Send you transactional notifications (e.g. borrow requests, approvals, reminders).
  • Manage your account and respond to support requests.

3. We Do Not Sell or Share Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Your data is used only to operate sharemybooks.

4. Infrastructure Service Providers

To operate sharemybooks, we use trusted infrastructure providers for database hosting and email delivery. These providers process your data solely on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. They are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure credential storage. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data from our systems within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of sharemybooks after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you by email.
