Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information AudioBookTubes collects, how we use it, and your rights.

All audiobooks accessible through this website are hosted on YouTube (youtube.com) and are the property of their respective creators and rights holders. This website provides links only. When you click a link, you leave this website and are directed to YouTube, which has its own privacy policy and terms of service.

- Search queries — when you use the search box on our site, the search term is processed on our server to return results. We do not store or track individual search queries.
- No account required — we do not ask you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information to use this website.
