Content Policy
Content Policy
Pagebound is a public platform and so is the content you post on it
Most of Pagebound’s platform is public and accessible to everyone, even without an account. Anyone who has access to the internet can see posts, comments, usernames, profiles, public library shelves, Pagebound points, Club and Quest activity, and related metadata (collectively, “public content”).
Your private data is never shared, including
Non-public account information (e.g., email address, IP address, etc.);
Deleted posts and comments
Private library shelves
Your Bookmarks
Though Pagebound content is public, it is not available for commercial use.
We support the free flow of ideas and conversation, and anyone can use Pagebound content for non-commercial uses. We do not currently license Pagebound content for commercial use, and we do not support unauthorized access (for example, by scraping or using data brokers) to collect public data in bulk, especially with the rise of use cases like generative AI.
You can keep your content private
Pagebound is inherently a public platform. You choose whether you want to create an account, publicly post, or comment on the platform, and what you include about yourself in any posts or comments you make publicly available.
If you prefer not to contribute content publicly, you have these options:
You can view book forums and Club forums rather than participating
You can create private shelves in your library
You can use the Bookmarks feature
For more information on how and why Pagebound collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use the platform, please review our Privacy Policy.
