The short version
What every document comes down to
-
Only users sign in
Readers never have an account. You add them and manage everything about them.
-
The minimum about readers
A name or nickname, a birth year, a colour, their languages and what they've read. Nothing else.
-
Groups never see your readers
Other users see your library's name and the books you share. That's all.
-
No ads, no selling
Your data is never sold or shared with advertisers.
