Privacy statement
Last updated: February 07, 2024
DeepRead LLC (together with its affiliates, “DeepRead,” “we,” or “us”) knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.
Please note that, if you have an account on www.amazon.com, information gathered by DeepRead may be correlated with any personal information that Amazon.com has and used by DeepRead to improve the services we offer.
User Content and Messages
The Service allows you to post User content, as defined in our Terms & Conditions. Any User Content you post becomes available to the public via the Service. User content includes, but is not limited to, reviews, comments, and visual content. If you remove User Content, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your User Content.
DeepRead takes reasonable measures to keep messages that you send to other Members through the Service private between you and the recipient. However, even if you have deleted the message from your DeepRead inbox or outbox, copies of the message may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored the message.
By providing DeepRead your e-mail address you consent to us sending you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your e-mail address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features, notices of member-initiated content, or special offers (“Other Messages”). If you do not want to receive Other Messages, you may opt out by changing your e-mail preference settings in the account settings section of DeepRead.com after you have signed in using your personal password. Opting out may prevent you from receiving e-mail messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. You may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.
Privacy Settings
Your name is used when you invite another person to join DeepRead, or when you request to add another member to your friends list. To the extent that you do not wish to have your name shared in this manner, you should not make use of these services. You can modify, delete, and set your privacy setting for information you provide us any time in the account settings section of DeepRead.com after you have signed in using your personal password.
Your Choices About Your Information
You may access or change your information and preferences at any time in the account settings section of DeepRead.com once you have signed in with your personal password. For example, you can control which actions, if any, will appear on your update feed, whether to display your e-mail address, whether to display your last name, and what sort of e-mail notifications you will receive from the Service. In addition, to the extent required by applicable law, you may have the right to request access to or delete your personal information. To do so, you may visit your profile and navigate to the “Settings” tab or contact us. You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through DeepRead, in which case DeepRead may not be able to provide certain services to you.
Cookies and Other Identifiers
To enable our systems to recognize your browser or device and to provide and improve the service, we use cookies and other identifiers. For more information about cookies and how we use them, please read our cookies notice.

We use your personal information to display interest-based ads for features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. We do not use information that personally identifies you to display interest-based ads. To learn more, please read our Interest Based Ads notice.
Childrens’ Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, DeepRead does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on DeepRead. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.
Google OAuth integration
Our website uses Google OAuth, specifically Google Sign-In, to provide a convenient and secure login experience for users with Google accounts. By utilizing this authentication method, we ensure that users can log in seamlessly and reliably.
Information accessed via Google OAuth:
During the Google OAuth authentication process, we collect and store the user’s email address. This information is used for the following purposes:
- Authentication: The primary purpose of accessing the user’s email address through Google OAuth is to authenticate their identity during the login process.
- User Account Creation: Upon the user’s first login using Google OAuth, we create a user account within our service. This account is tied to a unique identifier (ID) for internal record-keeping and user management purposes.
How we use Google user data:
- Authentication: The collected email address is used solely for the authentication of the user during the login process.
- User Account Creation: The email address obtained through Google OAuth is used to create a user account within our service, allowing
users to access our features and personalized services. - Payment Verification (Future Implementation): In the future, we may cross-check the user’s email address for payment verification purposes. This will be communicated in our privacy policy, and users will be prompted to consent to any changes before such verification takes place.
Amazon OAuth integration
In addition to Google OAuth, our website also integrates with Amazon OAuth to provide users with a seamless and secure login experience using their Amazon identity. This integration serves multiple purposes, enhancing the user experience and allowing us to offer specialized services.
Information accessed via Amazon OAuth:
During the Amazon OAuth authentication process, we collect and store the necessary information to uniquely identify the user. This may include details provided by the Amazon account, such as the user’s identity and other relevant information.
How we use Amazon user data:
- Authentication: The primary purpose of accessing user information through Amazon OAuth is to authenticate their identity during the login process.
- Amazon Books Synchronization: For users who choose to sync their Amazon books with our app, we use the Amazon OAuth integration to import and display information from their book libraries. This allows us to provide personalized services based on the user’s existing book collection.
Our commitment to user privacy:
We are committed to accurately representing our identity and intent, adhering to both Google’s and Amazon’s policies. We ensure that the information requested during Google OAuth and Amazon OAuth is used transparently and only for the specified purposes mentioned above. The confidentiality of any authorized client credentials obtained for accessing Google API Services and Amazon services is of utmost importance to us.
Updates to privacy policy:
As our services evolve, we may update our privacy policy. Any changes related to the use of Google OAuth, Amazon OAuth, or the collection of user data will be communicated, and users will be prompted to review and consent to these changes before continuing to use our services.
Questions:
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of Google OAuth or Amazon OAuth on our website and webapp, please contact us ([email protected] or [email protected]).
