Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5/12/2026

Welcome to EPUB Novels. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our application.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: We use Google OAuth for authentication. When you sign in, we collect your basic profile information provided by Google, such as your name, email address, and profile picture.

User Content: We collect and store the EPUB files you upload, along with the extracted metadata (titles, chapters, cover images) to provide the reading service.

Usage Data: We automatically track your reading progress (e.g., the last chapter you read) and your interactions with the site (e.g., favoriting a novel, leaving a comment, or rating a book) to sync your experience across devices.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect primarily to provide, maintain, and improve our services. Specifically, we use it to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Host and deliver the EPUB novels you upload.
  • Save and sync your reading progress.
  • Display public novels you choose to share with the community.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. Your uploaded novels are private by default. If you toggle a novel to "Public", its metadata and content will be visible to other users. Your comments and ratings on public novels will also be visible to others, along with your username and profile picture.

4. Data Security and Retention

We implement standard security measures to protect your data. You may delete your uploaded novels at any time, which will remove the associated files and metadata from our active servers. If you wish to delete your entire account and all associated data, please contact the administrator.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
