Privacy Policy.
1. Overview
Anthologized is a reading tracker for anthology collections. We collect only what we need to make the app work. We do not sell your data, run advertising, or use third-party tracking scripts.
2. Information we collect
Account information. When you create an account, we store your email address and a hashed version of your password. We never store your password in plain text.
Reading data. We store the books you add, the stories you rate and review, and any notes or entries you create. This is the core of what the app does.
Session data. We use session tokens to keep you logged in. These are stored securely and expire when you log out.
Discussion content. If you post comments or reactions in discussion threads, those are stored and visible to other users as part of the feature.
3. Camera access (mobile only)
The mobile app uses your camera to scan barcodes when adding books. Camera access is used only in that moment. No images are stored or transmitted to our servers.
4. What we do not collect
We do not collect or use:
- Location data.
- Advertising identifiers.
- Third-party analytics or tracking data.
- Any data from your contacts, photos, or other apps.
5. How we use your information
We use the information we collect solely to provide and improve the Anthologized service, including personalizing your reading experience and communicating with you about your account.
6. Affiliate links
Anthologized includes links to bookshop.org. If you purchase a book through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Bookshop.org's own privacy policy applies to any data collected on their platform.
7. Data storage
Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon, with file uploads stored in Cloudflare R2. By using Anthologized, your data is subject to Neon's privacy policy and Cloudflare's privacy policy.
8. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
9. Your rights and data deletion
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing info@anthologized.app, or directly inside the mobile app from Settings → Delete Account. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.
10. Children's privacy
Anthologized is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at info@anthologized.app and we will delete it promptly.
