Delete Your Data — Booknest
Last updated: August 11, 2026
Booknest is developed by Volara Lab. This page explains how you can delete some or all of your library data without deleting your account. (If you want to delete your account entirely, see Delete Your Account instead.)
Option 1 — Delete individual books
Inside the App, open any book and delete it directly. This removes it from your device immediately, and from your connected Google Drive/iCloud backup the next time the App syncs.
Option 2 — Delete all of your data at once
- Open the Booknest app.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Clear Data.
- Choose to clear your library locally, in your connected cloud account (Google Drive/iCloud), or both — and confirm.
This deletes your library data immediately, in the scope you chose. Your account itself (email, name, and account identifier) is not deleted by this action — you stay signed in. To also delete your account, use Delete Your Account.
Option 3 — Request deletion without the App
If you no longer have access to the App, email volaralab@gmail.com from the email address associated with your account, with the subject line "Delete my data." We will verify the request and confirm by email once it's done.
What gets deleted
- All book metadata (title, author, cover, synopsis, reading progress, shelves) and, depending on the scope you choose, the ebook files themselves — on the device and/or cloud account you select.
- Any shelves you had shared with others, and their metadata rows in our shared database, if you delete the shelf as part of this — see Section 4 of our Privacy Policy.
What is retained, and for how long
- Your account record (email, name, and internal account identifier) is not deleted by this — it stays so your sign-in keeps working. See Delete Your Account if you want that removed too.
- We do not keep a copy of your library metadata or ebook files on our side to begin with, beyond what you explicitly share via Shared Shelves — Volara Lab does not operate a server or database that stores your personal library (see our Privacy Policy) — so there is no separate retention period on our end once you delete it.
- Data on any other device where you're signed in is not remotely wiped by this — it's removed from that device only when you repeat these steps on it, or when it next syncs after you've deleted the corresponding Drive/iCloud backup.
