Terms of service

What this service is

readers.place is a reading diary and a book recommendation service. You record what you read, what you set aside and what you thought of it, and the service uses that to suggest what to read next.

It is a service for finding and tracking books. It does not sell books, and it does not lend them.

Your account

You need an account to keep a reading log. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself.

You can delete your account at any time. What that removes and what it leaves behind is described in full on the privacy page — read that section before you decide, because the removal is permanent.

What readers contribute

Tropes, heat levels, ending types and content warnings are entered by readers. When you contribute one, you allow other readers to see and rely on it, and it stays on the book after your account is gone (with your name removed).

Content warnings exist so people can avoid harm. Deliberately entering a false one is grounds for removing an account.

What we do not promise

Recommendations are suggestions. We do not promise you will like a book, and we do not promise the catalog is complete or free of errors.

Catalog data comes partly from open sources and partly from authors and readers, so it can be wrong. If you find an error you can report it.

Who operates this service

Company name, registration number and registered address print here once the operating entity exists. They are deliberately not filled in with a placeholder.
