The short version
- No account, no sign-up and no mailing list.
- Your reading data (reading position, bookmarks, highlights and reader settings) is saved only in your own browser. It is never sent to us.
- Analytics and advertising are switched off. If we ever switch them on, nothing will load until you agree.
What is stored in your browser
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your reading position in each book | So you can continue where you stopped | Until you delete it |
| Bookmarks and highlights | So you can find passages again | Until you delete it |
| Reader settings (text size, theme and so on) | To keep the reader the way you like it | Until you delete it |
| Your cookie choice, if you made one | So we do not ask again | Until you delete it or our policy changes |
This data is kept in your browser's local storage, under names that start with "kalamdan:". It never leaves your device. We cannot see it, and we cannot get it back for you if it is deleted.
Deleting or moving your data
Press Clear my reading data at the bottom of any page, or clear this site's data in your browser settings. To move your data to another browser, use Export my data and Import data on the My library page.
Server logs
Like every website, our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) to keep the site secure and working. We do not use them to identify or track you.
Analytics and advertising
Right now Kalamdan uses no analytics and no advertising. If we switch them on in the future, we will:
- show a notice first, and load nothing until you choose;
- use Google Analytics only to count visits, and Google AdSense only to show ads that help keep the library free;
- let you change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page;
- update this page before the change.
Google explains how it uses data in its privacy policy.
Fonts and images
All fonts and images are served from our own site. We do not load fonts from Google Fonts or any other outside service.
Children
Kalamdan does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
