Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 14, 2026 · Last updated: June 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Marinly, LLC ("Marinly," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the Sage reading app ("the App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Account information

When you sign in via Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from that provider. We store this to identify your account.

Reading data

Books you log, shelf assignments (Read, Currently Reading, Want to Read, Did Not Finish), star ratings, notes and reviews, and reading session dates.

Usage information

Pages visited, features used, search queries within the App, and interaction timestamps. This helps us improve the service and personalise recommendations.

Technical data

IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system. Collected automatically when you use the App.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate the App and maintain your reading history
  • To generate personalised book recommendations
  • To send you account, security, and (optionally) marketing emails — see our Terms & Conditions §6 for details
  • To improve the App based on aggregate, anonymised usage patterns
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with the following service providers, solely to deliver the App:

Supabase

Database and authentication provider. Stores your account details and all reading data.

Google Books API

Used to search for books and retrieve cover images and metadata. Search queries you type are sent to Google.

Vercel

Hosts and serves the App.

Google / Apple

When you sign in with OAuth, your basic profile (name, email, picture) is shared with us by these providers.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Marinly, our users, or the public.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your login session and remember your preferences. Essential session cookies are required for the App to function. You can manage optional analytics cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect functionality.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (Settings → Delete Account), all personal data — including your reading history, ratings, notes, and profile — is permanently and irreversibly erased. We cannot recover this data once deleted.

6. Security

We protect your data using industry-standard encryption (TLS) in transit and encrypted storage at rest. While we take security seriously, no system is completely secure. If you discover a potential security vulnerability, please contact us immediately at john@marinly.com.

7. Your Rights

  • Access — view all your reading data through the App at any time
  • Correction — edit any data directly in the App
  • Deletion — permanently delete your account and all data via Settings → Delete Account
  • Opt-out — unsubscribe from marketing emails via Settings → Notifications or the unsubscribe link in any email

California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA. Contact us to make a request.

8. Children

The App is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email. Your continued use of the App after receiving notice constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
