Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Learn about how MagicLibrary.org might collect and use your personal data as you browse and interact with this website.

For Guests (not registered or signed in)

Our goal is to deliver a privacy-first website, with no unnecesary collection of information.

We do not use any third-party services which track your internet activity. (ie: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.) You may browse our site anonymously, without providing any personal information.

For Registered Users

In order to create an account we will ask for the following information:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Username
  • Avatar / Profile Photo (optional)

Your name and email address remains private, only visible to site administrators. This is used to contact you about any account information, or receive other notifications you may have requested regarding library records or the project in general. You can selectively update your notification preferences on each topic you may have subscribed to.

Your username and profile photo will be publicly visible on the website. Users are welcome to choose a username which offers no clues to their true identity.

Public Activity

As a registered user you may have the ability to contribute to the library records with information about books and contents. These contributions are attributed to the contributing user for moderation purposes, and some of this information is publicly credited, visible to fellow users and guest visitors.

For example, when you submit a new record to the library it might show "Created by {Username}" in the footer of the page. Some users, with elevated permissions, may be able to view a complete history of changes also credited to your username.

Private Activity

This project is about providing a tool for those studying magic to keep notes, place bookmarks, and otherwise organize their research. These personal notes may be in the form of;

  • Collections (such as My Library, My Wishlist, or other custom collections)
  • Notes (attached to library records)
  • Personal Tags (for organizing items)

This information will not be visible to the general public. However, it could potentially be viewed by site administrators or moderators. It is not recommended that you submit any information which must remain entirely private.

As the owner of Notes and Collections you have the ability to explicity publish them, making this activity visible to users and guests.

Aggregated Data

MagicLibrary.org may share aggregated data from user activity, but this will not be granular enough to connect to any particular user. For example, to say that "35 people have this book in their library."

If you submit information about the price you paid for certain items in your collection, we may use this information to publish an average price, or show trends over time.

Account Deletion

You have the right to delete your account from MagicLibrary.org. This would include all your private notes and collections. However, your public contributions to library records (descriptive and informational data) would remain in place. You may contact us to request your account is removed.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy, please get in touch with us using our Contact page.
