Privacy policy analysis for digital reading and listening platforms
Digital reading platforms know intimate details about your intellectual life—what you read, how fast, what passages you highlight, and when you abandon books. This reading behavior data reveals interests, beliefs, political leanings, and personal struggles in ways few other data sources can match. Major platforms owned by tech giants integrate this data into broader profiles, while smaller services may still share with advertisers and analytics partners.
Amazon tracks every second of listening, integrates with Alexa, and feeds data into massive consumer profiles.
Reading speed, highlights, and abandonment tracked. Full Amazon integration creates comprehensive profiles.
Independent platform still tracks reading behavior and shares with advertising and analytics partners.
Rakuten ownership means data flows to Japanese conglomerate. Better than Amazon but still significant tracking.
