Privacy Policy

• Basic usage data needed to operate the site, such as page visits, reader session activity, saved resource actions, and search interactions.
• Identifiers stored in cookies or similar technologies to support sessions, preferences, analytics, and fraud or abuse prevention.
• Contact details or request information that you provide when emailing us about support, privacy, copyright, or business issues.
• Technical data such as device type, browser data, approximate network information, and request metadata used for performance, security, and diagnostics.

• Operate search, reader history, bookmarks, moderation, and other core platform functions.
• Measure site usage so we can improve navigation, resource discovery, and reading performance.
• Protect the service against abuse, unauthorized access, spam, and policy violations.
• Respond to user support, privacy, legal, and copyright requests.

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential platform operation, analytics, and advertising-related functionality where enabled.

Some cookies may remember site preferences or help us understand how users move through public catalog and reader routes.

• Essential technologies help maintain sessions, security controls, and basic site stability.
• Analytics technologies help us understand search behavior, reader engagement, and content performance.
• Advertising technologies may be used to support ad serving, frequency management, measurement, and consent-aware monetization where ads are enabled.

When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve or measure ads based on prior visits to this site or other sites.

Depending on region and consent status, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Users can manage relevant choices through our privacy choices page, browser settings, or applicable ad settings tools provided by third parties.

• We may work with ad vendors, measurement providers, or ad networks that support compliant ad delivery.
• Advertising disclosures and consent messaging may differ by region because regulatory requirements are not identical worldwide.
• Where required, ad personalization should be supported only through a compliant consent flow.
• Our current site-level privacy choices banner is a first-party preference control and should not be treated as a substitute for a certified CMP where such certification is required.

We do not describe this platform as selling personal data in the ordinary course of operating the public library experience.

We may share information with service providers or infrastructure partners that help us host, secure, analyze, moderate, or monetize the platform, subject to appropriate controls.

• Cloud and delivery providers that host content or media assets.
• Analytics and observability providers that help us measure platform health and usage.
• Advertising partners and vendors, where ads are enabled and allowed by region and consent status.
• Legal or regulatory authorities when disclosure is required to comply with law or protect rights and safety.

You can contact privacy@gkiq.app if you have a privacy question, want to request deletion or review of personal information we hold, or need help understanding consent-related choices.

Available rights may depend on your location and the nature of the information involved.

• Browser controls can often be used to limit or clear cookies.
• Ad settings and vendor opt-out tools may provide additional advertising controls.
• If we rely on region-specific consent frameworks, we expect those controls to be reflected in the privacy choices experience.
