Everything. Your library, reading stats, notes, highlights, genres, tropes, spice
levels, tags, and all other metadata are private unless you explicitly choose to share
them. Epigramm views your reading life as personal intellectual property, not public content.
Can I control what I share?
Yes, with granular control. Share specific books, stats, or reading lists as you choose. Share
publicly, with select friends, or keep everything private. You can
also share anonymized stats (pages read, completion rates) without revealing which books
you're reading.
Does Epigramm sell my reading data?
No. Epigramm does not sell your reading data, behavioral patterns, or any other information
to third parties. You are the customer, not the product. The business model is straightforward:
you pay for the service, we provide value and protect your privacy. We want for you what we want for
ourselves.
Can I export all my data?
Yes. Export your complete library, notes, highlights, stats, and metadata in standard
formats (JSON, CSV, markdown) at any time. Your data isn't locked in — you can take
it with you if you decide to leave or want backups.
What happens to my data if I delete my account?
We will retain your notes and highlights for a short period of time in case you decide to come back
(time period TBD, we welcome suggestions). Before deletion, you'll have the option to
export everything. After the time period expires, we'll retain no copies, backups, or aggregated
data
derived from your account. When you're gone, you're gone.
Does Epigramm use my data to train AI or algorithms?
No. 100% no. Epigramm may use aggregated, anonymized data to improve
features (like better genre categorization or reading pace predictions), but never uses
individual reading data, notes, or highlights for machine learning. This app is built based on what
we want for ourselves, and we want the same for our users.
Where is my data stored?
On secure, encrypted servers with industry-standard protections. Data is encrypted in
transit and at rest. Epigramm uses established cloud providers with strong security
track records, and all data handling complies with relevant privacy regulations.
Can other users see what I'm reading?
In Epigramm there's no default social feed, no public profile,
no "currently reading" broadcasts. If you want to share quotes from your reading with friends,
a book club, or social you can, but you choose exactly what to share and with whom. Likewise with
your reading statistics.
What about sensitive content in my library?
All content is treated as private and personal. Romance novels, political books,
self-help, religious texts — whatever you read stays between your devices. No judgments, no leaks,
no recommendations that reveal what you're reading to others.
Can I hide specific books from my stats?
Yes. Mark books as "private" to exclude them from shared stats while keeping them
in your library. Useful for professional reading, guilty pleasures, or books you're
reading for research that skew your genre preferences.
How do I review or change my privacy settings?
Privacy settings are accessible from your account page. Review what's shared, revoke
specific sharing permissions, adjust visibility settings, or lock down everything with
one click. Changes take effect immediately.
