Plaintext Classics is a small, free reading site. We collect as little as we can. This page explains what we do collect and why.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages people read, roughly where visitors come from, and what device they use. This is aggregate and statistical — we do not ask for your name, and we do not build a profile of you. You can block it with any standard privacy or ad-blocking tool.
Send to Kindle
If you use the optional "Send to your Kindle" feature, you give us a Kindle email address so we can email the book file to it through our email provider. We use that address only to deliver the file you asked for. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not sell or share it.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies: one set by Google Analytics, and a temporary session cookie if you log in to the publishing area. There are no advertising or tracking cookies beyond analytics.
Affiliate links
Some links to books on Amazon are affiliate links — if you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Following one of those links takes you to Amazon, whose own privacy policy then applies.
Selling data
We do not sell your personal information. Ever.
