We'll keep this simple and honest. This policy explains what information Tropely collects, why, and how it's used โ€” in plain language. If you ever have questions, just reach out at hello.nevora@outlook.com.

When you use Tropely, you may provide the following information:

Account & profile
  • Email address and password (if you create an account)
  • Display name and selected profile icon
  • Age or age range, if provided โ€” used only to help filter age-appropriate content
Your reading data
  • Books added to your shelves and reading status
  • Reading progress and goals
  • Moods and tropes you associate with books
  • Journal entries and personal notes
  • Buddy read participation and invite codes
๐Ÿ”’ Your journal entries and personal notes are private to you. They are not shared with other users or used to train AI models.

To keep the app running smoothly and fix problems, we may collect limited technical information such as:

This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

We only use your information to make Tropely work well for you:

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for advertising.

Tropely may include AI-powered features such as Story Oracle, an AI companion, or personalised recommendations. When you interact with these features, the input you submit (such as a book title, mood, or question) may be processed to generate a response.

๐Ÿ’ก Your private journal entries are not sent to AI features. Please avoid entering sensitive personal information (like your full name, address, or financial details) into any AI input fields.

Tropely's buddy read feature lets you read along with others. When you join or create a buddy read room, certain information may be visible to other participants in that room, including:

Only people you invite (or who have your invite code) can join a buddy read room. Your private shelves, notes, and journal entries remain visible only to you.

We do not sell your personal information โ€” ever.

We work with a small number of trusted service providers to run the app. They may process some of your data on our behalf:

Firebase (Google) Authentication, database, and cloud storage. Privacy policy โ†’
Apple App Store & Google Play In-app purchases and subscriptions, if applicable. Apple โ†’  Google โ†’
Expo / EAS Over-the-air app updates. Does not collect personal data. Privacy policy โ†’
AI processing providers Input submitted to AI features may be processed by a third-party AI provider to generate responses. Private journal entries are never sent to these services.

These providers are only given access to what they need to do their job, and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.

You're in control of your data. You can update your profile, reading data, and preferences directly in the app at any time.

If you'd like to delete your account and all associated data, you can:

Once deleted, your data is removed from our systems. Some anonymised, non-identifiable data (such as crash logs) may be retained for a short period for stability purposes.

Tropely is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If age is collected within the app, it is used only to help filter age-appropriate content (for example, to avoid showing adult book content to younger users). It is not shared or used for any other purpose.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello.nevora@outlook.com and we will delete it promptly.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information โ€” including using secure infrastructure and encrypted connections. That said, no system is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

If you ever notice anything suspicious with your account, please get in touch right away.

You're always in control of what you share in Tropely. You can:

As Tropely grows, this policy may be updated from time to time. When it changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally โ€” but we'll always keep this page at the same URL and won't make changes that significantly reduce your rights without letting you know.


If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, we'd love to hear from you.
