FreeReadingTracker is built on a simple principle: your reading life belongs exclusively to you. We collect zero personal data, set zero tracking cookies, and store your library entirely within your own browser.
100% Local Storage
Your book titles, reading progress, notes, and goals stay on your physical device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Zero Tracking Cookies
We do not set profiling, advertising, or session cookies. You can browse and calculate with zero cookie consent banners.
No Account Required
No sign-ups, passwords, or emails. Open any calculator or reading tracker shelf and use it immediately without registering.
1. What FreeReadingTracker Is
FreeReadingTracker is an independent, ad-free web application providing a private personal reading tracker and a collection of standalone reading calculators and planning utilities (such as reading time estimation, daily page calculations, reading speed testing, and printable logs).
2. What Information Is Stored
The application only stores the information that you voluntarily choose to enter into the reading tracker or calculator fields:
- Book details: Titles, authors, total page counts, formats (physical book, e-book, audiobook), and optional genres.
- Reading progress: Current page numbers, start dates, completion dates, and shelf statuses (Currently Reading, Want to Read, Finished).
- Personal ratings & notes: 1-to-5 star ratings and personal takeaways or memorable quotes you record.
- Reading goals: Annual book and page targets you set.
- Interface preferences: Your preferred visual appearance (light or dark mode) to prevent flashing upon reload.
3. Where Information Is Stored
All information is stored exclusively on your personal device using your web browser's native localStorage technology under the key freereadingtracker_v1 (and theme for display preferences).
This data is stored client-side only. It is never transmitted to, processed by, or stored on our servers or databases. We have no technical capability to view, inspect, or access the reading lists or notes you keep.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
FreeReadingTracker operates without tracking cookies. We do not use third-party behavioral analytics, cross-site trackers, or advertising pixels.
5. Third-Party Services & Hosting
FreeReadingTracker is hosted as a static website on modern content delivery networks (CDNs). Like virtually all web servers, standard non-identifying server access logs (such as requesting IP address and user-agent) may be temporarily processed by infrastructure providers for security, DDoS prevention, and routing purposes.
6. Your Data, Your Control
Because all your reading records reside solely in your browser's local storage:
- You can export your complete reading library at any time from the Tracker tab as a clean JSON backup.
- You can permanently delete all data at any moment by clearing your browser's site storage or cache for this domain.
- Clearing your browser cache or switching devices does not sync automatically because we maintain zero cloud accounts. Always download an export file if transferring to a new computer.
