Who runs this

book-lore.oriz.in is operated by Chirag Singhal, based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Contact: [email protected]. It is part of the oriz family and shares its sign-in and analytics with oriz.in.

What we collect

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — aggregate page views and country. Cookieless. No personal identifiers.
  • Authentication — if you sign in, Firebase Authentication stores your email, display name, and (if you sign in with Google/GitHub) profile photo. We never see your password.
  • Reading state — the bottle-green ribbon on each book page writes your last-read paragraph to localStorage (key bookLore:<slug>:para). This stays on your device.
  • Bookmarks (when implemented) — saved to Firestore under your user ID and accessible only to you. Delete them any time from the account page.
  • Contact form — submissions go through Web3Forms which forwards to my email.

What we don't do

  • No tracking across sessions for analytics (Cloudflare is anonymous).
  • No selling of personal data.
  • No newsletters unless you explicitly subscribe (and right now there is no signup).

Your rights

Delete your account from the account page; this removes your Firebase Auth record across every *.oriz.in site. Site-specific data (bookmarks, notes) wipes from there too. Under India's DPDP Act 2023, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data — contact the grievance officer.

Children

book·lore is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

We will update this page when the practice changes, with the new date at the top.
