Screen & Shelf
Privacy
Last updated November 5, 2026
- You can use Screen & Shelf without an account. Your calendar then stays in your browser and never reaches us.
- If you sign in with Google, we store your name, profile picture and calendars so they're there on any device.
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or use tracking cookies.
Using it without signing in
Everything you add is saved in your browser's local storage on that device. It isn't sent to us. Clearing your browser data deletes it.
What we store when you sign in
Signing in uses your Google account through Firebase, a Google service. We receive and keep:
- From Google: your name, email address and profile picture. We use these to sign you in and to show who's in a shared calendar. Your email is never shown to other people.
- What you create: your calendars and their names, the books, shows, movies and games you add, their dates, your backlog, and which items you've marked complete.
If you were using Screen & Shelf before signing in, the items in your browser are copied into your account when you sign in.
Shared calendars
When you join or invite someone to a calendar, everyone in it can see its items and each member's name and profile picture. Anyone with a calendar's invite link can join it, so share links only with people you trust. The calendar's owner can make a new link at any time, which stops the old one working, and can remove members.
Visitor counts
We may count page visits with GoatCounter, which doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you across sites. It records things like which page was opened, the referring site, browser type and screen size.
Services we use
- Netlify hosts the website.
- Firebase (Google) handles sign-in and stores account data.
- Google Fonts serves the site's fonts, which means your browser contacts Google to download them.
- GoatCounter counts visits, if it's switched on.
Each of these services handles data under its own privacy policy.
Deleting your data
- Delete any item from its edit window, or delete a calendar you own from Invite → Delete calendar.
- Leave a shared calendar from Invite → Leave calendar.
- To delete your account and everything in it, email us at the address below and we'll remove it within 30 days.
Children
Screen & Shelf isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
