1. Our Approach to Children’s Privacy
Coorabook is a general-audience book discovery and library-management service intended for users who are at least 13 years old.
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13.
Children under 13 are not permitted to create an account or use the App, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We seek to comply with applicable children’s privacy laws, including the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, where applicable.
2. Age Requirements
A user must be at least 13 years old to create a Coorabook account or use the App.
Parents and guardians should not permit a child under 13 to:
Create a Coorabook account
Use another person’s Coorabook account
Submit personal information through the App
Upload a profile photo
Use the book-scanning feature
Users between the ages of 13 and the age of legal majority should use the Service with appropriate guidance from a parent or guardian where required by applicable law.
3. Information Relating to Children Under 13
We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children under 13.
Coorabook accounts are intended to be created and managed only by users who meet the minimum age requirement.
If we discover that a child under 13 has created an account or provided personal information without legally valid authorization, we will take reasonable steps to:
Restrict or close the account
Stop further processing of the information
Delete the child’s personal information
Delete associated library and profile information
Deletion will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and normally within 30 days, unless limited retention is required by law, security obligations, fraud prevention, or another lawful purpose.
4. Book Scanning and Temporary Image Processing
Coorabook allows eligible users to scan book covers using the device camera.
When a book cover is scanned:
The captured image is temporarily uploaded to Google Firebase Cloud Storage.
Google Cloud Vision accesses the temporarily stored image through a Firebase URL.
Optical character recognition, or OCR, extracts book-related text such as the title, author name, or ISBN.
The captured image is automatically deleted immediately after OCR processing is completed.
Captured book-cover images are not permanently stored by Coora Labs Inc.
Captured images are not:
Sent to OpenAI
Used for advertising
Used for behavioral or advertising profiling
Added to the user’s permanent library
Used for purposes unrelated to identifying the book
Users must not scan documents or images containing personal information unrelated to book identification.
5. AI and Automated Processing
Some Coorabook features use automated technologies and third-party artificial intelligence services, including the OpenAI API.
Depending on the feature, limited book-related information may be sent to OpenAI, including:
Text extracted from a scanned book cover
Book title
Author name
ISBN
Book description
Publication details or other book metadata
This information may be processed to:
Organize or correct book information
Generate estimated recommended age ranges
Generate estimated grade levels
Generate estimated Lexile® levels
Identify series information
Generate related-book recommendations
Improve the presentation of book information
Coorabook does not intentionally send the following information to OpenAI:
Email addresses
Profile photos
User account IDs
Passwords or authentication credentials
A user’s complete personal library
Captured book-cover images
Personal information unrelated to the requested book feature
These automated systems are not intended to identify, profile, or target children under 13.
AI-generated information may be incorrect, incomplete, or unsuitable for a particular reader. Parents, guardians, educators, and users should independently evaluate automated reading-level or age-range estimates.
Estimated Lexile® levels provided by Coorabook are not official Lexile® measures.

These providers may include:

Google Firebase may provide:
Account authentication
Cloud database services

Account, profile, preference, and library information is generally retained while the account remains active.
When an account is deleted:
Account information is deleted
Profile information and profile photos are deleted
