📚 Reading By Candlelight
Privacy policy
What this app is
Reading by Candlelight is a small, personal web app for tracking your own books.
It is not a social network and does not profile or advertise to you.
Information we store
- Account details: your username, email address, and a securely hashed password.
- Your library: the books you add (title, author, ISBN, year, edition, genre, read/unread, and any locations you create).
- Settings: things like your chosen theme and library name.
- Basic logs: limited technical and security logs (for example, login success/failure events) to keep the service healthy and secure.
How your data is used
- To let you sign in and use your library.
- To show your books, stats, and locations back to you.
- To send account-related emails you ask for (such as verification and password reset).
- To monitor and protect the service against abuse or errors.
Your data is not sold or shared with advertisers.
If you enable a public share link or opt into the Community directory, only the information described on those screens is shared.
Third-party services
Reading by Candlelight may use third-party services only where needed to run the app.
Examples include email delivery (verification and password reset) and payment processing
for Lifetime upgrades. These providers process limited information solely to deliver
those features and are not permitted to use your data for advertising.
Your choices
- You can change your email address or password from the Settings page after logging in.
- You can edit or delete books from your library at any time.
- You can contact the Librarian if you want help removing your account.
