Your Content

Your data is stored locally on your device and in your private iCloud account, and is never transmitted to ShadowPuppet, LLC.

Sharing and Other Members

When you share a club with another member through iCloud, the other members can see and contribute to that club’s content within the limits Apple’s sharing system permits. You are responsible for who you invite. BookLoom does not mediate disputes between club members.
