Book Swap

Privacy Policy

Version 1.0 — Last updated: May 2026

1. What we collect

When you create an account we collect your name, email, mobile number, neighborhood-level address, and approximate location coordinates. We also store the books you list, messages you send, and your reading interests.

2. Why we collect it

We use this information to show you books available near you, let neighbors message you about your listings, and keep the community safe through trust signals like exchange history.

3. How your location is used

Your coordinates are rounded before storage and only ever displayed at neighborhood granularity. Other users never see your exact address — only an approximate distance.

4. What we never do

We never sell your personal data. We never share your contact details with third parties for marketing. We never expose your exact home address to other users.

5. Data retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal information is removed within 30 days. Some anonymized usage data may be retained for analytics.

6. Your rights

You can view, update, or delete your personal information at any time from your profile page. You may also request a copy of your data or full deletion by contacting us.

7. Cookies and storage

We use browser storage to remember your sign-in session, language preference, and theme. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

8. Children

Book Swap is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
