Introduction
BookVine.io ("BookVine", "we", "us") is a free book discovery website that helps parents find age-appropriate books for children ages 4-14. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially children. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Information We Collect
BookVine does not require user accounts, logins, or registration. We do not collect any personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers from our users.

- Analytics data: We use Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymous data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and general geographic region. No personally identifiable information is collected.
