You don’t need an account to search. We don’t keep your name with what you search for.
The title you type is sent to Open Library, Wikidata and MusicBrainz, so we can tell which book, film, series, album or picture you mean. Films and series may also be checked with The Movie Database. Albums may also be checked with ListenBrainz.
To suggest what to try next, that title and a short description are sent to Anthropic. We keep the suggestions.
A page also asks Anthropic for a short description, using the title, who made it and the year. We keep that description.
A book, film, series or album page links out to shops. Those links may be affiliate links, so a shop can tell that a sale came from this site. We don’t see your payment details. An album page also links to Spotify.
If you suggest something, we keep the title, your sentence, and your name if you give one, so it can be shown on the site.
We keep a short note of the network address, for about an hour, so the site cannot be flooded with searches or suggestions.
We count visits, including a title you look up, so we can see which pages are used. A short code stays in the browser for about 30 minutes, to tell one visit from the next. We also keep a scrambled note of the network address and browser, so we can tell if someone comes back. The address itself is not kept. If the browser asks not to be tracked, we don’t count the visit.
We keep a list of books, films, series, albums and pictures that have been opened here, so they can be found again.
If you save a book, film, series, album or picture, you can log in with your email so we can keep the title with that address. We email you a link to log in. It works for about 20 minutes. We don’t use the address for anything else.
