# Privacy and terms

A public reading library with no reader accounts.

## What your browser stores

Your theme choice is saved in local storage on your device. The site does not use tracking scripts, analytics cookies, or advertising. Fonts and decorative assets are served by this site.

## Requests and hosting

Searches and page requests go to our Cloudflare-hosted service. Cloudflare processes connection information, including IP addresses, to deliver requests and prevent abuse. Rate limiting uses request information. Infrastructure diagnostics may record operational events.

## External sources and AI tools

Loading a scan in the reader sends your IP address and the requested image page to Internet Archive. We omit the referring page address. Opening an external source link visits that service, which has its own privacy terms. When an AI tool calls this server, that tool sends its search or reference request here. Its provider’s privacy rules also apply.

## Source texts

This collection uses historical English editions identified by the linked sources as public domain. Source transcriptions and scan records can contain mistakes. Check the printed page and the source’s rights information for your intended use.

## Fair use of the service

Keep requests within published API limits. Do not evade rate limits or disrupt access for other readers. The service may temporarily restrict excessive traffic. It is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability or error-free transcription.
