Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how List Of Books handles your information when you use our website and our browser extension.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

When you visit the site, we may collect:

  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring URL
  • General location (country/region level)

We use Google Analytics 4 on public website pages to understand aggregate site usage. We also use Google AdSense on public website pages to show advertising and measure ad performance.

Information You Provide

If you use our contact form, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Message content

We use this only to respond to your inquiry.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

  • Maintain and improve the website
  • Understand which authors and features are most popular
  • Respond to your messages
  • Prevent abuse and ensure site security
  • Support the free catalog through advertising

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep the site functional (e.g., theme preference). We also use Google Analytics cookies on public website pages to measure aggregate usage. Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, and measure ads.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for:

  • Google Analytics 4: To understand aggregate public page usage patterns
  • Google AdSense: To display and measure advertising on public pages
  • Amazon Associates: To earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through our store links
  • Hosting: To serve the website reliably

Each service has its own privacy policy governing data handling.

The store links on our book lists, such as the Amazon buttons, are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, List Of Books earns from qualifying purchases. A purchase through one of these links costs you nothing extra.

When you follow a store link to amazon.com, Amazon may set its own cookies to record the referral. Amazon's privacy policy governs those cookies and any data Amazon collects. Amazon reports qualifying purchases to us without your name or contact details.

The browser extension contains no affiliate links and does not change any links on Amazon pages.

Browser Extension

Our browser extension shows a book's series reading order on Amazon and Goodreads book pages.

What the Extension Sends

The extension sends data only from book pages on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com. When you open one of these pages, it sends one request to List Of Books with:

  • The book's identifiers from that page (ASIN, ISBN-10, and ISBN-13)
  • The book's title and author name

If you type in the extension's search box, it sends your search text to List Of Books to find matching series.

What the Extension Does Not Collect

  • No browsing history. The extension reads only the supported book page you have open.
  • No personal data, account details, or user IDs.
  • No cookies. The extension sends its requests without cookies.
  • No analytics or tracking.

The extension keeps your display settings, such as the reading order you prefer, in your browser.

How Long We Keep It

We use the book details only to find the matching series. We do not save them, and we do not store them with your IP address. To prevent abuse, we count requests from each IP address over a one-minute window. That count does not include the book details, and we discard it when the window ends.

Our hosting and network providers process standard request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the service, as described under Third-Party Services.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal data we hold
  • Ask us to delete your data
  • Opt out of analytics tracking through your browser privacy controls or extensions
  • Contact us with privacy concerns

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

List Of Books is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as needed. Changes take effect when posted. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
