Read below for the Leafed Privacy Policy.
Last updated: October 2025
Thank you for using Leafed — a free book discovery app designed for readers who want to explore new titles in a simple, privacy-friendly way.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (if any), how we use it, and what your rights are.
1. Overview
Leafed is built to be privacy-first:
We do not require an account
We do not collect personal data
We do not track your activity
We do not use analytics or ads
All searches and browsing happen directly between your device and the Open Library API, which powers Leafed’s book data.
2. Information We Don’t Collect
We do not collect, store, or process:
Your name, email, or contact details
Your reading history or book preferences
Your location, device ID, or IP address
Any personally identifiable information (PII)
Your favorites and recently viewed books are stored locally on your device only. We never transmit that data anywhere.
3. Data from External Services
Leafed uses a few public, third-party APIs to power certain features:

We do not control or have access to data collected by these third-party sites when you leave the app (e.g., when you open an Amazon or Buy Me a Coffee link).
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Leafed participates in the Amazon Associates Program.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
When you tap “Buy on Amazon,” we include an affiliate tag (leafedapp-20) in the link.
This does not affect your price and helps support ongoing development.
5. Local Storage
Leafed may store small pieces of data locally on your device (using app storage) for:
Saved favorites (“Saved for Later”)
Recently viewed books
App settings (theme, filters, etc.)
This data never leaves your device and is deleted automatically if you uninstall the app.
6. Children’s Privacy
Leafed does not knowingly collect or store any personal data from children under 13.
The app is suitable for general audiences, but parents should supervise internet use as Open Library links may lead to external content.
7. Security
Since Leafed does not transmit or store personal data, your privacy risk is minimal.
All requests to public APIs are made over secure HTTPS connections.
8. Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact the developer:

9. Policy Updates
We may update this policy from time to time.
Any changes will be posted here and reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
TL;DR
Leafed doesn’t collect or share any personal data.
All searches happen directly between your device and public book data sources.
Your privacy isn’t just protected — it’s built into the design.
