Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information AudiobookRadar collects when you use the site, why, and what control you have over it. It's written by the person who runs the site, not a legal template, so it's short. If something is unclear, email me at contact@audiobookradar.com and I'll answer directly.

What I collect and why

• Account data. When you sign in with Google, I receive your name, email address, and profile image. That's stored so the site can show you as signed in and send the alerts you asked for.
• Watchlist and alert preferences. The books, authors, and settings you save.
• Email address. Used only to send the price-drop alerts you opted into, plus occasional transactional notices about your account. Every alert has a one-click unsubscribe link.
• Session cookies. A small cookie keeps you signed in between visits. No advertising or tracking cookies.
• Privacy-respecting analytics. Currently Google Analytics 4, configured for aggregate traffic stats only. No cross-site retargeting, no audience sharing.
• Server logs. Standard web logs (IP, user-agent, path, timestamp) kept briefly, on the order of a month, to investigate abuse and outages.

What I don't do

• I don't sell your data.
• I don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
• I don't run third-party ad networks or retargeting pixels.
• I don't enrich your profile with data from other services.
• I don't read or store your Google account beyond the basic sign-in fields listed above.

Affiliate disclosure

Some outbound links on the site (currently mostly Audible, via Amazon Associates) may earn a commission when you buy through them. This is disclosed in the footer on every page. Additional store affiliate programs may be added over time and are covered by this same disclosure. Affiliate relationships do not change which price the site shows you as cheapest.

Third-party processors

The site relies on a small set of vendors, grouped by role so that swapping one doesn't invalidate this section:

• Authentication. Currently Google (sign-in only).
• Analytics. Currently Google Analytics.
• Hosting and email delivery. Currently Amazon Web Services.
• Asset and image delivery. Currently Cloudflare.

Each of these providers has its own privacy terms. They only see the data they need to do their job.

Your rights

You can:

• Delete your account from the settings page, which removes your email, profile, watchlist, and alert preferences.
• Unsubscribe from alerts with the link at the bottom of any alert email, or from settings.
• Request a copy of your data, or a manual deletion, by emailing contact@audiobookradar.com. I aim to respond within about seven days.

Children

The site isn't intended for anyone under 13. I don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, email me and I'll delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected, who processes it, or what rights you have, I'll bump the "Last updated" date at the top and, for significant changes that affect existing accounts, send an email to the address on file. Small edits for clarity do not bump the date.
