Privacy Policy and Terms of use
Welcome to the LetsRead – Books For Everyone Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. This explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information, and with whom we share it. We suggest you read this along with our brilliant Terms and Conditions of Use. Whilst you’re enjoying the LetsRead – Books For Everyone mobile application (“App”), we collect some information about you. In addition, you may choose to use the App to share information with other users including your friends and contacts (“Users”). We may also need to share your information sometimes. This Policy explains how we protect your personal data when we transfer it overseas, so please read very carefully!
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Registration Information
When you download the App and create an account (“Account”), we may collect certain information (“Registration Information”) about you such as Name, Username, Email address, Location Information and Phone Number.
You will also be required to create a password in connection with the registration of your Account. Once you register, you will be able to review and change this information at any time by accessing your “Profile” page! You control your user profile and are able to correct or update your information at any time by just logging in to LetsRead – Books For Everyone.
The information we collect helps to enhance the App and verify our Users. Registration Information such as your name and username may be visible to the public on your profile page.
Additional Information
We may ask you to provide your full name, address and email address. Such details may be shared with third parties for purposes relating to, for example, any of our loyalty programs, sending gifts or delivery of merchandise.
If you contact our Customer Support team, we will receive your email address, and may track your IP address as well as the information you send to us to help resolve your query. We will keep records of our communications with you, including any complaints that we receive from you about other Users (and from other Users about you).
Please be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile such as your religious denomination and health details. While you may voluntarily provide this information to us when you create your profile, there is no requirement to do so. Where you do upload and choose to tell us sensitive information about yourself, you are explicitly consenting to our processing of your information and making this public to other users.
When you post information about yourself or use the messaging function, the amount of personal information you share is at your own risk. If you post anything that is inconsistent with our Terms and Conditions of Use, we reserve the right to terminate your Account – we really don’t want to have to do this so please play by the rules!
For safety and security and to ensure you have the best possible user experience, we require users to verify their accounts and might ask for your phone number. We want to make sure you are not a robot! And we also want to avoid fake LetsRead – Books For Everyone accounts being created which can be used for malicious activities and cybercrime – they threaten the LetsRead – Books For Everyone network and spoil things for everyone. If you decide to purchase any of our premium services, we will process your payment information and retain this securely for the prevention of fraud and for audit/tax purposes.
Finally, we want to keep in touch with you to make sure you know about the great promotions and offers we have available. If you’ve told us it’s OK, we will use your email address to send you information on these. You can withdraw this consent at any time via Settings in the app.
Geolocation Information
If you turn these features on, when you use your mobile, we will collect information about Wi-Fi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you.
