Privacy Policy
PocketShelf ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices. By using PocketShelf (the "App"), you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
PocketShelf is designed to collect minimal data. We do not collect information like your name, email address, or physical address. The data we collect is limited to:
- App Usage Data (Anonymous): We use TelemetryDeck to gather anonymized analytics about how the App is used. This helps us improve performance and features. TelemetryDeck is privacy-first and does not track individual users.
- Book Search Data: When you search for books, we send your query to the Open Library API to return book information. These queries are not linked to your identity.
- In‑App Purchase Data: We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and purchases. RevenueCat assigns an anonymous identifier to manage entitlements but does not track your identity.
2. How We Use the Data
- Improve app functionality and performance
- Provide book search results
- Manage and validate in‑app purchases
- Diagnose bugs and maintain security
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We share limited data only with essential service providers that power the App:
- TelemetryDeck (anonymous analytics)
- Open Library (book search API)
- RevenueCat (in‑app purchase management)
These providers may process data on our behalf and are committed to user privacy.
4. Data Retention
We do not store personally identifiable information. Anonymous analytics and purchase records are retained only as long as necessary for app functionality, troubleshooting, and legal compliance.
5. Your Privacy Choices
- You can limit analytics by adjusting your device or OS privacy settings where available.
- You may stop using the App at any time.
6. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data and rely on privacy‑focused services (TelemetryDeck, Open Library, RevenueCat) that follow industry best practices.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the App or on our website where appropriate.
