The short version
Your reading is yours. We collect what we need to run Readery (your email for the beta waitlist, your account and reading data once the app opens) and nothing else. We do not sell your data. Ever. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time.
Who we are
Readery is a reading tracker app made by Kelly Staller, based in Parkland, Florida, USA. If you have any question about your data, email hello@readeryapp.com and a real person will answer.
What we collect on this website
Email address — when you join the waitlist. Stored so we can send you an invite when spots open, and nothing else.
Basic analytics — page views, referrer, country (rolled up, not linked to you personally) so we understand how people find Readery.
We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across other sites.
What we collect in the Readery iOS app
Account — your email and password (encrypted).
Reading data — books you add, statuses, ratings, wrap-ups, notes, highlights, tags, moods, and any other reading-related things you record.
Optional social data — profile display name, avatar, and connections you make with other readers.
Device diagnostics — anonymized crash reports and performance metrics to fix bugs.
How we use your data
Run the app: sync your library across devices, personalize your recommendations, generate your monthly wrap-ups.
Improve Readery: understand which features people love and what's confusing so we can fix it.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Full stop.
Third-party services we use
Readery uses a small set of trusted third parties to run the service:
Supabase — hosted database and authentication.
Google Books, Open Library, Hardcover — book cover images and metadata (title, author, description). These services see the book titles you look up.
Google Gemini — analyzes public book descriptions to generate the tag data (tropes, moods, settings). Your personal reading data is never sent to Gemini.
Resend — sends transactional emails.
Apple — App Store distribution and TestFlight beta.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
Access your data — email us and we'll send you an export.
Correct anything wrong — edit in the app, or email us.
Delete your account and all your data — from the app (Profile → Delete Account), or email us and we'll do it manually.
Unsubscribe from any non-essential email — one click at the bottom of every message.
Children
Readery is not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child has given us data, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data in a way that materially affects you, we'll notify you before the change takes effect. Small edits (typo fixes, clarifications) may happen without notice — the "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the most recent change.
