Privacy Policy

Page & Spin is run by Marina Samuel ("we", "us"). This page explains, in plain language, what we collect when you use Page & Spin, who can see it, and what you can do about it.

The short version

  • We collect what you give us to run your book club: your account, your books, and what you post.
  • Your club members can see what you share in the club. Book details become part of a shared catalog.
  • We don't sell your information, and we don't show ads.
  • You can ask us to see, fix, or delete your information at any time.

What we collect

Your account. Your email address, a password (stored scrambled by our sign-in provider, so we never see it), your display name, and a profile picture link if you add one. If you sign in with Google or Apple, they share your name and email address with us (Apple lets you hide your email behind a private relay address).

What you add to your clubs. The clubs you create or join, the books you add (title, author, cover, genre, description, page count, and any cover image you upload), your to-be-read lists and which books you put in the wheel, whether you share your full list, the club's picks and history, and the ratings, reviews, comments, and reading progress you post.

If you get Plus. Whether you have Plus, your subscription status, and the customer and subscription IDs Stripe gives us. Stripe handles your payment details; we never see or store your full card number. Host kits store your club's meeting date, place and host.

Things saved on your device. Your browser keeps you signed in, remembers which club you were last looking at, remembers which book covers we've already looked up, and remembers your reading-reminder days and time. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies. Reading reminders are saved in your own calendar app, not by us.

If you turn on notifications in the iPhone app. A notification address for your phone from Apple, so we can send you club updates, and which kinds of updates you want. Notifications only say things like who made progress or which book was picked — never the text of discussion notes. Signing out or turning notifications off stops them. Reading reminders you set in the app are scheduled on your phone itself.

Basic visit statistics. Our hosting provider records general statistics about visits, such as pages viewed, device type, and country, which help us see how the app is used.

How we use it

  • To run Page & Spin: your account, your clubs, the wheel, picks, ratings, and discussion.
  • To send emails you need, like confirming your account or resetting your password.
  • To send the club notifications you've turned on in the iPhone app.
  • To fill in book details and covers for you.
  • To keep the app working, secure, and improving.

Who can see what

  • Members of your club can see your display name and picture, the books you put in the wheel, your whole to-be-read list if you turn on sharing, and the ratings, reviews, comments, and reading progress you post in that club.
  • Everyone signed in to Page & Spin can see book details (title, author, cover, description, genre, page count), because books are kept in one shared catalog so the same book fills in for every club. They don't see who added a book. Please don't put anything personal in a book's description.
  • Each club is separate. People outside your club don't see your lists, ratings, or comments in it.

Services we rely on

We don't sell or rent your information. We share it only with services that help us run the app:

  • Lovable and Supabase host the app, store its data, and handle sign-in and account emails.
  • Google provides the app's fonts, and sign-in if you choose "Continue with Google".
  • Open Library (openlibrary.org), a non-profit book catalog. When you search for a book, what you type is sent to Open Library to find matches. To find covers and store links, we also send a book's title and author (never anything about you). Book covers load from Open Library or from wherever a cover link points.
  • Apple provides sign-in if you choose "Continue with Apple", and delivers the notifications you turn on in the iPhone app.
  • Stripe processes Plus payments and lets you manage or cancel your subscription. Stripe's privacy policy applies to the payment details you give it.
  • AI model providers, through Lovable's AI service. When someone with Plus makes a host kit, the book's title, author, genre, page count and description are sent to write the questions and theme ideas. Nothing about you or your club is sent.
  • Bookstores (Bookshop.org). "Get the book" opens the book at an online bookstore. We may earn a commission if you buy. Once you're on a store's site, its privacy policy applies.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open. You can delete your account yourself at any time from "Delete my account" on your profile page, and it's removed right away. If you ask us by email instead, we delete it within 30 days. Copies may remain in backups for a short time after that. Book details you added may stay in the shared catalog without your name attached, and clubs you started pass to another member.

Your choices

  • Change your display name and picture anytime on your profile.
  • Edit or remove books from your list, choose what goes in the wheel, and turn list sharing on or off.
  • Leave a club at any time.
  • Delete your account from your profile page whenever you like.
  • Email marinasamuel16@gmail.com to get a copy of your information, correct it, or delete your account. We'll reply within 30 days.

Children

Page & Spin is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email marinasamuel16@gmail.com and we'll delete it.

Keeping it safe

We use the security protections of our hosting and sign-in providers, and club information is only shown to the members it belongs to. No online service is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password you don't use elsewhere.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll let you know in the app or by email before it takes effect.
