Privacy Policy for Libriya

Last updated: October 3, 2026

Libriya ("we", "us", "our") is a book sharing app and website that lets people share, discover, and read books within their community. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By using Libriya (the mobile app and the website at libriya.com), you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Contact: LIBRIYA, Email: email@libriya.com

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

  • Account information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account. We do not receive your Google password.
  • Profile and content: Information you add to the app, such as books you list or share, book details, and any other content you submit.
  • Communications: Messages or requests you send through the app, and emails you send to us.

Information collected automatically

  • Location information: To show nearby books and members on a map, we may use location information you provide or allow, such as a postal code or approximate location. [CONFIRM: describe whether precise device location is used.]
  • Device and usage information: Basic technical data such as device type, operating system, app version, language, and error logs, used to keep the service working and secure.
  • Local storage and similar technologies: The app and website store small pieces of data on your device (for example, to keep you signed in and remember preferences).

Notifications

The app can show in-app notifications and a badge count. If we enable push notifications in the future, we will ask for your permission first, and you can turn them off in your device settings at any time.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • create and manage your account and let you sign in;
  • let you list, search for, and share books, and show relevant results near you;
  • send service-related emails and notifications, such as reminders and account messages;
  • operate, maintain, secure, and improve the app;
  • detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and violations of our rules;
  • comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only in the following situations:

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf to run the app:
    • Lovable Cloud (authentication, database, and backend hosting);
    • Google (Google Sign-In and Google Maps);
    • Resend (sending emails);
    • Our hosting providers (for example, Vercel and Lovable Cloud).
  • Other users: Information you choose to make visible in the app (such as your display name and the books you list) may be seen by other users. [CONFIRM: list exactly which profile fields are visible to others.]
  • Legal reasons: If required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Libriya.
  • Business transfers: If Libriya is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

These providers have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

4. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must keep certain data to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes.

5. Your Choices and Rights

  • Access and correction: You can view and update your profile information in the app.
  • Account and data deletion: You can request deletion of your account and associated data by emailing email@libriya.com from the email address linked to your account, or at [ACCOUNT DELETION PAGE URL, if available]. We will process your request within [30] days.
  • Location and notifications: You can control location access and notifications in your device settings.
  • Other rights: Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or Turkey's KVKK), you may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, request a copy of your data, or lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at email@libriya.com.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls on our database. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Libriya is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at email@libriya.com and we will delete it.

8. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

9. Third-Party Links and Sign-In

The app opens Google Sign-In in your device's browser, and may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, provide a notice in the app or on our website. Continued use of Libriya after changes means you accept the updated policy.
