A username is technically required so you can log in from multiple computers and devices.
</li>
<li>Your chosen Readwise password.
A hash of your password is stored in the Readwise database, and the plain-text password is only used for hash comparison to the stored value.
Note that this only applies if you choose to sign up with your email and a password: if you sign up using Amazon or Apple, we cannot view your password for those services.

For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, and information provided by and about your Internet browser.
As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather similar information through other means.</p>
<p>We may also use "cookie" technology.
Among other things, we may use cookies or other tracking technology for the purposes of storing your username and password hash to spare you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit.</p> The Way We Use Information <p>We use the information you provide to deliver Readwise's features.

Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.</p>

For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>We may tell an advertiser or publisher that X number of people visited a certain area on our website.</li>
<li>We may tell an advertiser or publisher that X number of people imported Z annotations from a particular book.</li>
<li>We may aggregate the most popular books and the most popular highlights in order to suggest content for users who have read similar books or taken similar highlights.</li>
<li>We may anonymously use the titles of the books you’ve read and highlighted to recommend other books that you may enjoy.</li>
</ul>
<p>When information is used in this or a similar manner, we do not disclose anything that could be used to identify the individuals on whom the information is based.</p>
<p>We may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or to defend against legal claims.</p>
<p>We may disclose your information when we believe it necessary or desirable in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our policies, and/or to protect our rights and property.</p>
<p>In the future, we may sell, buy, merge, or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.</p> Publicly Accessible Information <p>In the future, Readwise may contain social and sharing functionality, including:</p>
