BookAmor is a lightweight, library-specific discovery tool for public libraries. It does not create user accounts, does not store personal identifiers, and does not track users across visits. Its purpose is to help library patrons find reading recommendations and locate items in their library\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Data We Process<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>BookAmor processes only the minimal information necessary for the service to function.<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Temporary Access Information<\/h3>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>Depending on a library\u2019s access settings, BookAmor may check:<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\t<li>The visitor\u2019s IP address to determine in-library access (when the library enables IP-based authentication).<\/li>\n\t\t<li>The library-card number at the moment of access, when a library chooses card-based authentication. Card numbers are validated against simple pattern rules and are not stored permanently. BookAmor creates an opaque, random \u201cremember-me\u201d token so the visitor does not need to re-enter the card on the same device.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Anonymous Usage Events<\/h3>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>BookAmor logs anonymous events so participating libraries can understand general usage. Logged events may include:<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\t<li>Page views<\/li>\n\t\t<li>Recommendation requests<\/li>\n\t\t<li>\u201cAsk AI\u201d requests<\/li>\n\t\t<li>\u201cFind in Library\u201d clicks<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>No personal identifiers are stored. Logged fields include only library ID, media type, seed title (truncated), access method (such as \u201cip\u201d, \u201ccard\u201d, or \u201cnone\u201d), and timestamp.<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Ask-AI Reading Aide Messages<\/h3>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>When a user asks BookAmor\u2019s Reading Aide a question, BookAmor sends only the title, media type, and question text to the backend AI endpoint. No user identifiers are sent.<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Basis for Processing<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>We process the above data under the following legal bases:<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\t<li><strong>Legitimate Interests<\/strong> (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): To provide library-authorized access and service functionality.<\/li>\n\t\t<li><strong>Contractual Necessity<\/strong> (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): To provide BookAmor functionality requested by the patron via the library.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Storage &amp; Retention<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>BookAmor is designed to minimize data storage. In particular:<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\t<li>Access logs and anonymous usage logs are stored in a secure database.<\/li>\n\t\t<li>Remember-me tokens are stored with an expiry (typically 60\u201390 days) and are deleted automatically after expiry.<\/li>\n\t\t<li>No reading history is created.<\/li>\n\t\t<li>No user profiles are created.<\/li>\n\t\t<li>No cross-site tracking occurs.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Transfers<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>BookAmor is hosted in the United States (Wyoming). Libraries using BookAmor acknowledge that data necessary to provide the service may be processed in the United States. When applicable, OpenAI (used for the \u201cAsk AI\u201d feature) processes text under contractual terms intended to comply with GDPR requirements.<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Rights<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>Library patrons in the EU\/EEA have the right to:<\/p>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\t<li>Request access to the minimal data BookAmor processes (which in practice is usually none that can identify a person).<\/li>\n\t\t<li>Request rectification or deletion of any identifiable data, if present.<\/li>\n\t\t<li>Object to processing in cases where it affects them, noting that this may disable access if the library requires authentication.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p>To exercise these rights, patrons should contact their library.
