The boring (but important) stuff
Terms of Use
Last updated: March 2026
1. Using ReadPile
ReadPile is a personal book curation tool. You're welcome to use it to organise your reading, share piles with friends, and discover books. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
2. Your content
You own the pile names, descriptions, and notes you write. By making a pile public, you grant ReadPile a licence to display that content to anyone who visits the link. You can revoke this at any time by making the pile private or deleting it.
3. Acceptable use
Don't use ReadPile to share illegal, harmful, abusive, or deliberately misleading content. Don't attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or overload our servers. We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules without notice.
4. Book data & third-party content
Book metadata and cover images may be sourced from the Google Books API and other third-party providers and may be owned by their respective publishers, authors, or other rights holders. ReadPile does not claim ownership of any book cover, description, or metadata displayed on the platform.
5. Availability
ReadPile is provided as-is. We'll do our best to keep it running reliably, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted availability and aren't liable for any data loss or downtime.
6. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally. Continued use of ReadPile after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
