We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data collected while browsing our open-access technical research and literature catalog. This Privacy Policy outlines how data is gathered, used, and protected in full accordance with international data regulations and Google Publisher Policies.

3. Information We Collect

DevThesisLibrary operates under a zero-friction, open-access model. We do not require registration or personal account creation to read books, search our index, or download public materials.

  • Log Files: Like standard web platforms, our hosting servers automatically record log files including IP addresses, browser user-agents, Internet Service Providers (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and page interaction metrics.
  • Client-Side Storage: Book preferences, dark/light theme choice, and cached index data are stored locally in your browser using localStorage and IndexedDB. This data never leaves your device.
