Honest Privacy Policy
rajeshwar.net and the 13+1 initiative are non-commercial civic endeavors. We believe in strict data minimization, plain-language terms, and full clarity about how your information is handled.
When requesting or donating books via the Google Form, we collect your name, email address, optional general locality (neighborhood or city), and requested or offered book titles/notes. We collect this solely to verify availability, coordinate handovers, and reply to your notes.
Access is restricted strictly to the initiative organizer (Rajeshwar Reddy). Details are never sold, rented, or shared commercially. Donor and reader contact details are never shared with each other without explicit mutual permission.
The intake form is hosted via Google Forms and Google Workspace infrastructure. Data entered is transmitted and processed on Google servers subject to applicable Google services and privacy terms. No proprietary ad networks, trackers, or commercial data brokers are used.
Contact information is retained only as long as needed to fulfill the book handover or conclude correspondence. You can contact Rajeshwar Reddy at contact@rajeshwar.net at any time to inspect, correct, or request complete deletion of your records.
No personal phone numbers, physical residential addresses, or private request notes are ever published in the public catalogue or shared online. Public listings display only book metadata and anonymous location tags (e.g. "Hyderabad Central").
The book-sharing initiative is an early-stage personal civic experiment run voluntarily by Rajeshwar Reddy, not a registered NGO, registered charity, or tax-exempt organization. We do not promise commercial SLAs or absolute data guarantees, but maintain honest, personal stewardship.

Frequently Addressed Queries
How are parcel postage costs covered?
The book-sharing initiative operates via voluntary subsidy. For community libraries and students facing financial constraints, domestic postage within India is fully underwritten by the initiative. Benefactors sending parcels may request pre-paid courier labels.
What genres and editions are accepted?
We prioritize foundational STEM texts, school-level supplementary readers, competitive examination guides (<3 years old), historical literature, and multilingual children's storybooks. Damaged, unbound, or obsolete manuals cannot be accepted.
Can local hubs be established?
Yes. We offer an open-source inventory template and initial box seedings (25-50 curated books) to educators, residential societies, or independent cafes interested in establishing autonomous drop-off shelves.

General books
Books under the Borrow & Return arrangement should normally be returned within 2 months (60 days) from the handover date. The due date will be recorded at handover. Extensions may be requested before the due date and depend on availability.
Academic & exam-related books
Textbooks, reference books, and competitive-exam materials may be kept until the relevant examination or academic requirement is completed. An expected return date must be agreed and recorded at handover. If the exam or academic timeline changes, contact the organiser to request an extension.
Care, damage, and returns
Please take reasonable care of books. Normal wear is understood. Report lost or significantly damaged books to the organiser so a fair solution can be discussed. A book is considered returned when the organiser receives it and records the return. These return rules apply only to books explicitly marked Borrow & Return; other sharing arrangements will be confirmed individually.
