Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 20, 2026
Welcome to Most Recommended Books. We are committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and mobile application (collectively, the “Services”), how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information:
When you create an account through our mobile app, we collect:
- •Email address (provided directly or via Google or Apple Sign-In)
- •Authentication identifiers from third-party sign-in providers (Google, Apple)
We do not collect your name, phone number, or physical address. Account creation is optional—you can browse all content without signing in. An account is only needed to save books to your wishlist or mark books as read.
User-Generated Data:
If you create an account, we store the following data associated with your account:
- •Your wishlist (books you want to read)
- •Your read books list (books you have read)
This data is stored securely on our servers and is only accessible to you when signed into your account.
Analytics Data (via DataFast):
We use DataFast Analytics on our website to understand how visitors use the site. This service may collect:
- •Anonymous usage statistics (page views, visit duration)
- •General location information (country/region level)
- •Device and browser information
- •Referral sources
This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Contact Form Submissions:
If you choose to contact us via our form, we process the subject, your email address, and your message. We use this information only to reply to you.
Local Storage:
On our website, we use browser local storage to remember your theme preference (light/dark mode). On our mobile app, we use device secure storage to store your authentication token so you stay signed in. This data is stored only on your device.
Server Logs:
Like most websites, our servers and content delivery network (CloudFront) may automatically log:
- •IP addresses
- •Request timestamps
- •Pages accessed
- •HTTP status codes
These logs are used for security and performance monitoring and are automatically deleted after a short period.
2. Third-Party Services
Authentication Providers:
We offer sign-in through Google and Apple. When you choose to sign in with one of these providers, they share your email address (and an authentication identifier) with us. We do not receive your password from these providers. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies:
- •Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- •Apple: apple.com/legal/privacy
Data Hosting:
Account data (email, wishlists, read books) is stored on Supabase, a cloud database platform. Supabase processes data on our behalf and is contractually obligated to protect your information. All data is transmitted over HTTPS.
Amazon Associates Program:
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click on Amazon links and make purchases, Amazon may track this activity according to their privacy policy.
External Links:
Our Services include links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
3. How We Use Information
The information we collect is used to:
- •Provide and maintain your account and saved book lists
- •Authenticate you when you sign in
- •Improve our website's and app's performance and user experience
- •Understand which content is most valuable to our visitors
- •Ensure the security and stability of our Services
- •Direct you to the appropriate Amazon store for your region
- •Respond to messages you send via our contact form
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data, including:
- •HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- •Secure token storage on your device
- •Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- •Delete your account: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data (email, wishlists, read books) at any time from the Profile screen in the mobile app

6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated data (email address, wishlists, read books) is permanently deleted from our servers. Server logs are automatically deleted after a short retention period.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
8. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
