Welcome to Dyve

Thank you for choosing Dyve, your serene companion for a more intentional and connected reading life. This document outlines our mutual understanding regarding your use of the Dyve application.

Our Purpose Together

Dyve transforms your physical bookshelf into a living visual library. By using your device's camera to photograph your books, the app recognizes each title and creates a beautiful, interactive digital counterpart. This enables you to track your reading journey, set goals, and organize your collection in a space designed for comfort and focus.

How Dyve Works For You

The core of your Dyve experience is built on a few key interactions:

• Visual Library Creation: You provide a photograph of your books. Our technology attempts to recognize the books and their details to build your personal library.
• Progress Tracking: You can mark books as reading, completed, or plan to read. Dyve provides elegant visualizations of this progress across your collection.
• Personal Goals: You may set personal reading goals. Dyve will visually reflect your progress toward these goals within the app's interface.
• Offline-First Design: Your primary library data is stored locally on your device for immediate, private access. Certain features may use internet connectivity.

Your Content & Privacy

We believe your reading life is personal.

• Your Photographs: Book photographs are processed on your device or our servers solely for the purpose of book recognition. We do not use these images for any other purpose.
• Your Library Data: The details of your library—titles, progress, goals—are yours. We treat this information with care and design our systems to respect its privacy.
• No Mandatory Login: You are not required to create an account or profile to use Dyve's core features. This choice is intentional to simplify your start.

Our Continuous Improvement

Dyve will evolve over time. We may update the application's features, design, and underlying technology. We may also update this document to reflect these changes. The most current version will always be accessible within the Dyve application.

Your Enjoyment & Responsibilities

To ensure Dyve remains a serene and useful space for everyone, we rely on you to use the app in good faith. This includes respecting the intellectual property of authors and publishers by using Dyve to manage books you own or have legitimate access to.
