What We Collect

Our Book Nook collects the minimum data needed to provide the book club experience:

  • Account information (email, name) for authentication
  • Reading progress, captures, and passages you share with your club
  • Book ratings and reviews you choose to save
  • Optional: Readwise API token for highlight sync (stored encrypted)
  • Optional: Push notification device token for meeting reminders

How We Use Your Data

  • Your captures and passages are shared only with members of your book club
  • AI features (discussion guides) process your club's captures to generate personalized discussion prompts
  • We never sell your data or share it with advertisers
  • Reading data is never shared outside your club without your explicit action

AI & Third-Party Services

Our Book Nook uses AI (via Anthropic's Claude) to generate discussion guides from your club's captures. Your captures are sent to the AI service for processing but are not stored by the AI provider or used for training. Authentication is provided by Supabase. Book data comes from Open Library (public domain).

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on encrypted, managed databases. All connections use SSL/TLS. Integration tokens (like Readwise) are stored encrypted at rest. We follow industry standard security practices.

Your Rights

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time. You can disconnect integrations and remove your captures. Club owners can delete their clubs and all associated content.
