Novory Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 13, 2026

Novory ("the app") helps readers track the books they own and read, and avoid re-buying books already owned. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and how it's handled.

Information you provide

• Account details. If you sign up with an email and password, that email, your chosen display name, and a securely hashed password are stored. If you sign in with Google or Facebook instead, we receive your name and email address from that provider to create your account — we never see or store your Google/Facebook password.
• Your library data. Books you add (title, author, ISBN, cover photo, page count, genre, reading status, dates started/finished, ratings, notes, tags), and any reading goal you set.

Information collected automatically

The app does not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. We don't track your behavior across other apps or websites, and we don't sell your data to anyone.

Where your data is stored

Your library data is stored on your device. If you sign in with an account (email/password or Google/Facebook), your library data is also stored in our database, hosted by Supabase, so it can sync if you use the app on more than one device signed in to the same account.

Third-party services this app uses

• Google Books API — used to look up a book's title, author, cover image, and category when you scan a barcode or search by title. Only the search terms or ISBN you look up are sent to this service.
• Supabase — provides account sign-in and, for signed-in users, storage of library data as described above.
• Google Sign-In / Facebook Login — if you choose to sign in this way, you'll authenticate directly with Google or Facebook; we only receive the name/email they share with us for account creation.

Your choices

You can use the app without creating an account — your library then stays entirely on your device. If you create an account, you can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us (see below); we will delete it within 30 days.

Children's privacy

Novory is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially (for example, if we introduce advertising or new third-party services), we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
