Privacy
Your reading
stays with you.
Books you import, notes, kept passages and reading places stay in your browser. They are not sent to our analytics.
What we count
New reading uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits to the public site and editions, and a few actions such as opening an edition preview, copying the maker instruction or following the repository link. We also count when a public book’s text has been visible for a total of thirty seconds.
We send fixed public page and action labels. We leave out URL queries and fragments, searches, book titles you enter, prompt text, quotations, notes and your place in a book. We do not record your screen or keystrokes.
Vercel reports aggregate visits, referring sites, approximate location, browser and device type. It processes connection information to produce those reports. This integration sets no analytics cookies or persistent browser identifier. We skip analytics when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, and when you are offline.
Counts have limits: an open page does not prove someone read it, and a copied prompt does not prove they built a reader. Blocked scripts and offline visits are absent.
What stays here
The book and idea you type on the homepage stay in this tab’s session storage. Copying the instruction puts it on your clipboard only when you ask. Giving it or a book file to an AI app is a separate choice: that provider may process what you send.
Reading records use local browser storage. They do not automatically sync, and clearing site data can remove them. Keep a private reading bundle as a backup. A shared device or browser profile is not a private vault.
The library’s Continue link uses a small local record of the last public book you read. It checks that reader’s saved place in this browser. Neither the record nor the saved place is sent to analytics.
The reusable reader kit and private readers do not inherit this catalogue’s analytics. The separate personal entrance at read.lookatseel.com is also excluded. Our host may keep ordinary access logs.
