Introduction

Information We Collect

We believe in minimal data collection. Here is what we do and do not collect:

• Reading speed data: Your words-per-minute score is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
• Reading list: Books you add to your reading list are stored locally in your browser. We do not have access to this information.
• Usage analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This does not include personally identifiable information.
• Contact information: If you email us directly, we receive your email address solely to respond to your inquiry.

What We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment information.
• We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
• We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties.
• We do not use your reading data for profiling or targeted advertising.

Local Storage

All your personal reading data — including your reading speed score, reading list, progress tracking, and daily targets — is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. This data exists only on your device. You can export or delete this data at any time through the Settings page. Clearing your browser data will permanently remove all stored information.

Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services:

• Google Books API: Used to search for book information. This interaction is subject to Google's privacy policy.
• Google Fonts: Used to load fonts. Google may collect some data as described in their privacy policy.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
