Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 5, 2026
Librerio ("we", "our", "the app") is a reading companion that helps you track your books, share your progress, and connect with other readers. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, a username, and a password (stored encrypted). You may optionally add a profile photo and a bio.
Reading activity
We store the books you add to your shelves, your reading progress (pages or percentage), journal entries, reviews, discussion posts, and social interactions (follows, likes). You choose what to share publicly.
Uploaded content
If you upload a profile photo, it is stored on Cloudinary. If you import your library via CSV, the file is processed to extract book data and is not stored after processing.
How we use your information
We use your data to: provide and maintain the app, display your reading activity and statistics, show personalized recommendations based on what your connections are reading, enable social features (feed, discussions, follows), send verification and password recovery emails, and improve the app experience.
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. Your public profile (username, avatar, bio, shelves, reviews) is visible to other users. We do not share your email or private data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services: Cloudinary for image storage, Google Books API to retrieve book metadata (titles, covers, descriptions), and standard email delivery for account verification. These services have their own privacy policies.
Data security
Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. Communication is encrypted via HTTPS. Access tokens are short-lived and refresh tokens are stored securely. We take reasonable measures to protect your data, though no system is 100% secure.
Your rights
You can update or delete your profile information at any time from Settings. You can remove books, reviews, journal entries, and discussions you created. To request full account deletion or a copy of your data, contact us directly.
