Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. When you list books, we store the book details and your approximate location (city-level) to enable nearby search.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide the PBookShare service: connecting you with other readers nearby, facilitating book borrowing, and sending transactional notifications (e.g., borrow requests).

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Your email is never displayed publicly — only your display name and city are visible to other users.

4. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United States. We use encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use minimal local storage solely for authentication (keeping you logged in). We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies. No third-party trackers are present on this site.

6. Your Rights

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us. You can also export your book collection data from within the app.

7. Children's Privacy

PBookShare is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
