Introduction
Nookd is a book discovery and reading list app developed and operated by Liaison & Partners LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use Nookd.
Information We Collect
Nookd is designed with privacy in mind. We do not operate servers or accounts, and we do not collect personal information such as your name, email, or phone number.
- Book Library Data — The books you save, reading statuses, tags, ratings, and preferences are stored entirely on your device using Apple's local storage (SwiftData). This data never leaves your device.
- Camera & Photo Library — Nookd may request access to your camera or photo library so you can snap or select a book cover for identification. Images are processed to extract text and are not stored or shared beyond what is needed to identify the book.
- Search Queries — When you search for a book or identify one from a photo, queries (such as a title, author, or extracted cover text) are sent to third-party book data providers (see below) to retrieve titles, authors, cover images, descriptions, and ratings. These queries do not include personally identifiable information.
- Purchase Information (In-App Purchases) — Nookd offers an optional premium subscription (monthly, annual, or lifetime) that unlocks unlimited books and the Discover tab. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We use RevenueCat to manage and validate subscriptions. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-generated user ID and your purchase receipt — it does not receive your name, email, Apple ID, or payment details. See RevenueCat's privacy policy at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.
