2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account.
• Book catalog data: Information about books you add to the catalog, including titles, authors, categories, and descriptions.
• Checkout records: Borrower names and checkout/return timestamps for tracking book lending activity.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Authenticate your identity and provide access to the application
• Manage and display your classroom book catalog
• Track book checkouts and returns
• Maintain transaction history for accountability

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Your data is only used within the application to provide the services described above. We use Google Sign-In for authentication, which is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard cloud infrastructure. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the application's services. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

7. Children's Privacy

This application is designed for use by educators to manage classroom libraries. While borrower names of students may be recorded, the application is operated by teachers and administrators — not directly by children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
