Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

LiteralBug collects only the minimal data required to maintain your reading progress: your email address, chosen reader handle, password hash, shelf inventory, and chapter poll interactions.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information exclusively to power your reader dashboard, award achievement badges, and safeguard spoiler shields. We do not sell, rent, or monetize personal reader data with third-party data brokers.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We utilize essential first-party cookies for secure authentication sessions (via HttpOnly and SameSite flags) and localStorage to store non-sensitive visual preferences, such as light/dark mode and poll responses.
