Privacy Policy

Last updated:

KitabiHub is a content website. We try to collect as little data about you as possible while still funding the catalogue through advertising. This page explains exactly what we collect, why, and what choices you have.

What we collect directly

Almost nothing. KitabiHub does not require an account to read. We do not run user logins, comments, ratings, or shopping carts. The only personal information we ever receive directly is whatever you choose to send us by email — for example, when you write to the editorial team about a catalogue correction.

Server logs

Our hosting provider records standard web server logs: your IP address, the page you requested, the time of the request, your browser's user-agent string, and the referring page. These logs are kept for up to 30 days and are used only for security, abuse prevention, and broad traffic analytics. We do not link them back to any individual.

Cookies

KitabiHub itself does not set tracking cookies. Our advertising partner (Google AdSense) may set cookies on the pages you visit so that ads can be measured and, in some jurisdictions, personalised. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google's Ads Settings and globally at aboutads.info/choices.

Advertising

This site shows ads via third-party ad networks. Those networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to deliver ads relevant to you. They are independently responsible for their privacy practices.

Analytics

If we run analytics in the future, we will list the provider here and configure IP anonymisation where the provider supports it. We do not currently run any third-party analytics scripts beyond what the ad provider includes.

Children

KitabiHub is suitable for general audiences, but we do not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone under the age of 13.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, the UK, or another jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Because we hold almost no personal data, most of these requests will simply confirm we do not have a record of you. To exercise these rights, write to privacy [at] arabiclithub.com.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page and, where appropriate, post a notice on the homepage.
