1. Data you provide
MemoRead Journal collects only what is needed to run the service: your email (Firebase Authentication), the content you enter (notes, excerpts, shelves, metadata such as tags, ratings, or series), and an internal account identifier. Data is stored on Firebase (Google Cloud) and is accessible only to you. The camera is used solely to scan barcodes and capture text excerpts; images are processed in real time and are not saved or uploaded.
2. Your library
Your email, notes, quotes, comments, and library are stored on Firebase for the service (sync and backup). They remain tied to your account and are accessible only to you.
3. Usage data and improvement
Limited usage data (device, language, country, number of logins, app version, etc.) may be analyzed to improve MemoRead Journal.
4. Advertising
Advertising is managed by Google AdMob. AdMob does not receive your reading content (books, notes, or reading activity).
AdMob uses:
- advertising identifier (shared across apps)
- approximate location (country or region via IP, not GPS — MemoRead does not request GPS)
- language
- device type
In the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland: a consent message appears when you open the app. If you consent, personalised ads may be shown from a profile based on your activity in other apps. If you decline, ads are still shown, based only on this app. You can change this later: About → Privacy and Security → Change ad authorization.
Outside these regions: that message is not shown. Personalised ads may be displayed using your advertising identifier. You can limit this in your device settings (iOS: Tracking; Android: Ads).
Ads help cover server, maintenance, and app store publication costs so the app can remain available freely.
See Google Privacy Policy and AdMob & user data.
5. Your rights
You may delete your account and all associated data at any time: Menu → Manage Account → Delete Account. We may update this policy; the date above will change accordingly.
