Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our mobile application and related services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a clear explanation of what information may be collected, why it is used, and what choices you have.

Please read this Policy carefully. By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described below.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to the mobile application, in-app features, customer support, and any related services we provide.

It covers information that may be processed when you read, save books, adjust reading settings, create personal notes, use app features, contact us, or interact with analytics or diagnostic tools, if such tools are included.

2. Information We May Process

The types of information processed may vary depending on your use of the Services and your device settings.

App Activity and Device Information

We may collect limited technical information to help the Services work properly, such as device model, operating system, app version, language settings, diagnostics, crash logs, and general app activity.

Reading and Preference Data

The Services may process reading-related data, such as books added to your shelf, reading progress, bookmarks, recently opened books, reading display settings, and similar preferences.

Where possible, reading-related data may be stored locally on your device. Local data may be removed if you uninstall the app, clear app storage, or reset your device.

Personal Notes and Saved Content

If you use note or memo features, the Services may process the content you create, including note titles, note text, mood tags, linked books, selected chapters, and related records.

This information is used to let you save, view, organize, and search your personal records within the app.

Support and Communication

If you contact us, we may receive your email address, message content, and any information you choose to include in your request.

3. Why We Use Information

We use information only for purposes related to operating, supporting, securing, and improving the Services, including to:

- Provide reading, shelf, bookmark, note, memo, and search features

- Save your reading progress, preferences, and app settings

- Help you continue reading from where you left off

- Display and organize content you choose to save

- Respond to support requests and user feedback

- Monitor app stability, fix bugs, and improve performance

- Maintain the safety and security of the Services

- Meet legal, regulatory, or platform requirements

4. Local Storage and Device Controls

Some information may be stored directly on your device to support app features and improve privacy. You can manage certain data and permissions through your device settings or in-app controls, where available.

Please note that deleting the app or clearing app data may remove locally stored reading records, notes, settings, or progress.

5. Third-Party Services

We may work with third-party service providers that help us operate and improve the Services. These may include providers for analytics, crash reporting, hosting, or customer support.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to us and are expected to protect information according to applicable privacy and security requirements.

Third-party services may also process information according to their own privacy policies.

6. How Information May Be Shared

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Information may be shared only in limited circumstances, such as:

- With service providers that help operate, secure, analyze, or improve the Services

- When required by law, legal process, or a valid government request

- When necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of users, the Services, or others

- With your consent or at your direction

7. Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide app features, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and improve the Services.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or otherwise limit its use where appropriate.

8. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy request, contact us at:

gurulinkhub@outlook.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Services are not intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age required by applicable law in your region.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us at gurulinkhub@outlook.com, and we will take appropriate steps to address the issue.

11. International Processing

The Services may be accessed from different countries or regions. Information may be processed or stored in locations outside your country of residence.

When required, we use appropriate safeguards designed to protect information in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will include a new “ Last Updated ” date.

If material changes are made, we may provide notice through the Services or by other reasonable means. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
