the short version

Privacy

This site exists to tell you about PassageShelf and to collect one thing, with your permission: an email address for the waitlist.

What we collect

If you join the waitlist, we store the email you typed, the date you joined, and whether you ticked the mobile-beta box. That’s the whole record. We use it to send you an invite when the beta opens, and nothing else. The app page remembers your server address in your own browser; it never reaches us.

What we don’t do

No analytics scripts, no advertising pixels, no fingerprinting, no third-party trackers. Cloudflare, which serves this site, keeps aggregate traffic counts on our behalf — that’s as deep as measurement goes.

Leaving the list

Reply to any email we send, or write to us, and the address is deleted. There’s no account to close because there’s no account.

The product itself

PassageShelf comes in two shapes. Self-hosted Lite keeps your library in a database on your own server — we never see it and there is no telemetry. The cloud version stores your library on servers in Germany with encrypted backups; it is never used to train AI, never sold, and deleting your account really deletes it.
