Introduction
James Patterson Book Tracker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains our data practices for our mobile application.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information from you.
All data you create in the app—including your reading lists, progress tracking, ratings, and notes—is stored exclusively on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.
Local Data Storage
The app stores all information locally on your device, including:
• Books you're tracking
• Your reading progress and completion status
• Personal notes and ratings you create
• Any customization or preference settings
This data remains under your control and is only accessible on your device. If you delete the app, all locally stored data will be removed from your device.
Device Backups
If you use iCloud or iTunes backup on your iOS device, your locally stored app data may be included in those backups as part of your device's standard backup process. This is controlled by your device settings, not by our app. If you restore your device from a backup, your reading data may be restored as well. To prevent this, you can disable backups for this app in your device's backup settings.
No Tracking or Analytics
We do not use analytics services, tracking tools, or collect usage data. We do not monitor how you use the app, which features you access, or any other behavioral information.
No Third-Party Services
The app does not integrate with third-party services that collect data. Your reading activity and personal information are not shared with any external services, advertisers, or data brokers.
Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your information depends on your device's security measures. We recommend:
• Keeping your device password-protected
• Using device encryption features provided by your operating system
• Keeping your device's operating system up to date
Your Control Over Your Data
You have complete control over your data:
• Access: All your data is accessible within the app at any time
• Modification: You can edit or delete any information directly in the app
• Deletion: Deleting the app from your device removes all stored data
• No Account Required: The app does not require account creation or login
Children's Privacy
Since we do not collect any personal information, the app is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect, store, or transmit any data from children or adults. Parents can review their child's use of the app directly on the device, as all information remains local.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Since we do not collect contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes—please review this policy periodically.
