Data Privacy & Storage

Your Privacy Matters. All book data (EPUB content, including compressed text) and your typing progress are stored directly in your browser's local storage and IndexedDB (for book covers) on your device. No data is uploaded to any external server. This means your books and progress remain private to your browser.

Important Disclaimer:

Local storage and IndexedDB are convenient but can be cleared by browser actions such as clearing cache, site data, or history. If you clear your browser's data, your Type2Read library and progress may be permanently deleted. Please be mindful of this when managing your browser settings or using browser cleaning tools. The Backup/Restore feature is recommended for safeguarding your data.
