Privacy
This directory publishes the author, book, and illustrator information creators choose to share. Email addresses and private verification and editing credentials are not public listing fields.
Submissions and email links
We use the submitted email address to send verification and private management links. Keep those links private: they provide access to your listing without a mandatory account. Submission records and uploaded artwork are stored on the website’s hosting service. Images may be processed for safe, efficient display.
Public content and external links
Your public name, biography, selected profile details, book information, public links, and chosen images can be viewed by visitors. External websites you open follow their own privacy practices. Avoid putting private contact information or sensitive material in public text or artwork.
Reports and moderation
Reports and related review records are private. We use them to assess problematic listings and protect the directory. An unconfirmed report does not by itself establish a violation. A report matching material previously confirmed as a serious violation can trigger a temporary hold for owner review. Other unconfirmed reports do not automatically hide listings. Reporting records include the reason, details, and date; abuse prevention may use a keyed network-address hash. Routine verified submissions and normal edits publish automatically.
Technical information
The server processes ordinary request information, including network address and browser information, to serve pages, protect submissions, and limit abuse. Private editing and review pages may use security cookies. The community feature rotation uses browser session storage to reduce repeated selections; it does not identify you to advertisers. Some older resource pages may still load Google Ads or Microsoft Advertising measurement tags. Those providers process related visit information under their own policies. The main directory and private editing pages do not need those tags.
Free browser tools
Existing tools such as MyBook may save projects in browser storage on your device. Keep a separate exported backup: clearing browser data can remove local projects. Any third-party fonts or external services used by a tool receive normal requests under their own policies.
Earlier service records
The paid book-creation service is retired. Earlier correspondence and payment records may remain where needed to manage prior commitments or meet recordkeeping requirements. The directory does not take payments for listings or featuring.
Manage, correct, or remove your information
Use your private management link to update or hide a listing. For privacy questions, missing access, or a request to correct or delete retained information, email tobymikle@gmail.com. Keep passwords, payment details, and identity documents out of submissions and reports.
