Privacy policy
Last updated October 23, 2026
Wall Street Reading List LLC ("WSRL", "we", "us") runs wallstreetreadinglist.com. This policy explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- Account details: your username, email address, and a securely hashed password. Optional profile details you choose to add, such as a bio, job title, employer, school, and avatar.
- Reading activity: the books on your shelves, your reading goal, reviews, and lists. Shelves, reviews, and public lists appear on your public profile.
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, your email address and confirmation status.
- Technical data: standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) kept for security and debugging, and privacy-friendly aggregate analytics.
How we use it
To run the site and your account, to show your public profile and contributions, to send the emails you have opted into, to prevent abuse, and to understand which pages are useful. We do not sell your personal information.
We send account emails (such as verification and password resets) and, if you opt in, the monthly Book of the Month email and notices about books you suggest. Every non-essential email has an unsubscribe link, and you can change your preferences in your account settings.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in and to protect forms against forgery. Our analytics do not use cookies to track you across sites.
Third parties
When you follow a link to a retailer such as Amazon, the retailer's own privacy policy applies. We use Cloudflare to protect forms against spam.
Your choices
You can edit or delete your profile details, reviews, and lists at any time, and you can delete your account from your settings, which removes your personal data from the site. Copies may remain in backups for a limited period.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above. Material changes will be announced on the site.
