LinguaReaders is operated by Education by Shala Books Inc. ("we", "us", or "our"), based in British Columbia, Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use LinguaReaders (linguareaders.com).
By using LinguaReaders you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have questions, please contact us.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to provide the LinguaReaders service:
- Account information — name and email address when you create an account or start a free trial.
- Reading progress — which readers you have marked as read or favourited, stored to your account.
- Usage data — basic analytics such as pages visited and features used, collected in aggregate to improve the platform.
We do not collect payment information at this time. When purchasing becomes available, payments will be processed by a third-party provider and we will update this policy accordingly.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain your LinguaReaders account.
- Save and display your reading progress and favourites.
- Send you service-related communications (account confirmations, updates).
- Improve the platform based on aggregate usage patterns.
- Notify you when new features or subscription options become available, if you have opted in.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Tracking
LinguaReaders uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We may use basic analytics tools to understand how the platform is used in aggregate. We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites.
4. Data Storage
Account and reading progress data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database provider. Data is stored on servers located in North America. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information.
5. Children and Student Privacy
LinguaReaders is designed for use in school settings and may be accessed by students under the age of 18. We collect only the minimum information necessary — typically a name and email address — and do not use student data for advertising or share it with third parties. Teachers and school administrators are responsible for obtaining any required parental consent before assigning student accounts.
If you believe a child's information has been collected without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, please contact us. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).
7. Third-Party Links
LinguaReaders may contain links to external websites (such as shala-books.com or social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies separately.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly as payment and subscription features are added. We will note the date of the most recent update at the top of this page. Continued use of LinguaReaders after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
