Introduction

Titan Labs Tech ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Libris mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.

Our Privacy Commitment: Libris is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. We believe your reading habits, book collection, and personal notes are private. This policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection.

Third-Party Services

  • Open Library is a service of the Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
  • The API request includes the ISBN or search terms you provide
  • We do not send any personal information or reading history to Open Library

International Users

Libris is designed to work worldwide. Your data is stored on your device and optionally in your iCloud account, which may be located in various countries depending on your Apple ID settings. We do not transfer your data internationally because we do not collect it on our servers.
