Privacy Policy

Open Old Books ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Information we collect

• Account information: when you create an account we store your name and email address. Passwords are stored only as a salted, one-way hash — we never store your plain-text password.
• Your activity: shelves you create, books you save, ratings, and reviews.
• Session cookie: a small, http-only cookie that keeps you signed in. It does not track you across other websites.

How we use your information

• To provide and operate the service (accounts, shelves, reviews).
• To keep you signed in and personalize your experience.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or rent your personal information.
• We don't run third-party advertising or analytics trackers.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your account and activity until you ask us to remove it. To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact us through the channels on our Contact page.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including hashed passwords and encrypted (HTTPS) connections in production. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the revised version on this page.
