Last Updated: August 26, 2026

A-Library ("A-Library", "Ancient Library", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you use the A-Library Android application.

By installing or using A-Library, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

A-Library is designed primarily as a personal reading and document management application. Depending on the features you use, the application may process the following information.

Files and Documents

A-Library may access files that you intentionally select or import into the application, including supported formats such as:

• PDF

• EPUB

• TXT

• DOC/DOCX

• XLS/XLSX

• Other supported document formats

These files are used to provide reading, viewing, organization, searching, and document-management functionality.

A-Library does not claim ownership of your documents or their contents.

Reading and Usage Information

The application may store information associated with your use of the reading features, such as:

• Reading progress

• Books or documents opened

• Reading time

• Reading streaks

• Favorites

• Collections

• Archive status

• Ratings

• Achievements and milestones

• Application preferences and reading settings

This information is used to provide features such as statistics, achievements, organization, and reading-progress tracking.

Device Information

Depending on the technical services enabled in the application, limited technical information may be processed, such as:

• Device type

• Android version

• Application version

• Crash information

• Diagnostic information

• Application performance information

This information may be used to maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the application.

2. How We Use Information

Information processed by A-Library may be used to:

• Display and manage your documents and books.

• Remember your reading position and preferences.

• Organize documents into collections and favorites.

• Provide search and sorting functionality.

• Calculate reading statistics and progress.

• Provide achievements and milestones.

• Improve application stability and performance.

• Diagnose technical problems.

• Protect the application against misuse or security threats.

• Provide features that you specifically request.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Document and File Privacy

Your documents may contain personal, confidential, academic, professional, financial, or other sensitive information.

A-Library only accesses documents and files that are necessary for features you choose to use or files that you explicitly make available to the application through Android's file-selection or storage mechanisms.

You should not import documents into A-Library unless you are comfortable allowing the application to access them for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

If document processing occurs locally on your device, the contents of those documents are not transmitted to our servers merely because you open or read them.

If future versions of A-Library introduce cloud synchronization, online document processing, artificial intelligence features, or other services that transmit document contents, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Information may be shared with third-party service providers only where reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, analyze, or improve the application, or where required by law.

Examples may include:

• Crash-reporting services

• Analytics services

• Cloud or synchronization services

• Google Play services

• Other infrastructure providers required for application functionality

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

A-Library will not intentionally share the contents of your personal documents with third parties unless such sharing is necessary for a feature you explicitly use, required to provide the service, or required by law.

5. Analytics

If analytics services are enabled in A-Library, they may collect limited information about application usage, such as application events, device information, performance information, and diagnostic data.

Analytics information is used to understand how the application is used, identify problems, improve performance, and develop new features.

A-Library does not use analytics to read the contents of your personal books or documents unless a feature specifically requires such processing and the relevant disclosure is provided.

6. Advertising

If advertisements are introduced into A-Library, advertising providers may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable consent requirements.

If A-Library does not contain advertising, no advertising-related information is collected through the application.

7. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by A-Library.

Information stored locally by A-Library is protected by the security mechanisms provided by your Android device and operating system.

However, no electronic storage system or method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate security for your device, including using a secure screen lock, keeping your operating system updated, and maintaining backups of important documents.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Information stored locally by A-Library generally remains on your device until you delete it, remove the relevant document, clear the application's data, uninstall the application, or otherwise use an available deletion feature.

If A-Library uses online services to store account or synchronization information, applicable information may be retained for as long as necessary to provide those services or as required by law.

You may request deletion of personal information associated with online services by contacting us using the contact information provided below, where applicable.

Deleting the application from your device may not automatically delete information stored by independent third-party services.

9. Children's Privacy

A-Library is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to investigate and delete the information where required.

Where local law establishes a different minimum age for consent to data processing, the applicable legal requirement will apply.

10. Permissions

A-Library may request Android permissions or access through Android system interfaces when necessary to provide specific features.

For example, the application may request access to documents or files that you choose to open or import.

Permissions are used only for the purposes for which they are requested.

You can manage application permissions through your Android device settings. Disabling certain permissions may prevent related A-Library features from functioning correctly.

11. Third-Party Services

A-Library may rely on third-party services to provide certain technical functions.

Such services may include Google Play services, analytics providers, crash-reporting providers, cloud infrastructure, or other services used to operate the application.

Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

Where applicable, users should review the privacy policies of those services to understand how information is handled.

12. International Data Processing

If A-Library uses third-party services that process information on servers located outside your country, information may be transferred to and processed in other countries.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that applicable privacy and security requirements are respected when information is processed by third-party providers.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request deletion of certain personal information.

• Object to or restrict certain processing.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Request information about how your data is processed.

To exercise applicable rights, contact us using the details below.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to A-Library, new features, legal requirements, or changes in how information is processed.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
