Privacy Policy

Last updated July 2026

Afterword ("we", "us") provides this policy to explain what information the Afterword iOS app collects, how it's used, and who to contact with questions.

Information we collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Your email address (used for sign-in and account recovery)
• If you sign in with Google or Apple, the basic profile information those services share with us (typically your name and email)

As you use the app, we store the reading data you create:

• Books you add to your library, and which shelf they're on
• Ratings, start/finish dates, and any feedback you submit

How we use it

Your data is used solely to provide the app's core functionality — showing your library, computing your reading stats, and letting you search for books. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising or share it with data brokers.

Third-party services

Afterword relies on the following services to operate:

• Supabase — hosts our database and handles authentication
• Google Books API and Open Library — used to search for and display book information (title, cover, description, etc.); only your search terms are sent to these services, not your account data
• Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple — optional sign-in methods, governed by their own respective privacy policies

Data retention and deletion

We retain your account and library data for as long as your account is active. To request deletion of your account and associated data, email us at the address below.

Children's privacy

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