What BabelWe does

BabelWe compares offers for collectible editions found at booksellers, publishers and marketplaces. We sell nothing ourselves: every purchase happens at the seller, on their terms. Prices and availability are collected automatically and may have changed: the seller’s site is the reference. Some links may earn us a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Third-party content and removal requests

Photos, covers and trademarks belong to their owners and are shown with their source. Spec sheets state facts (format, page count, finishes), not publishers’ copy. If you hold rights and want something removed, or if you spot an error, use the “Report” link on every listing or this form. We handle every request promptly.

Payments and subscription

Payments (Collector plan, valuation report, listing boost) go through Stripe. BabelWe never sees or keeps your card details. The subscription has no commitment: cancel anytime from the Pricing page, and access stays open until the end of the paid period. Digital services start as soon as you pay, at your request, so you waive the 14-day withdrawal period for what has already been provided.

Personal data

• What we keep: your email address if you create an account or join the beta waitlist, your wantlist, what you follow and the alerts already sent. If you report a problem, your message and the email you give.
• Photo search: a photo of a cover or barcode is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to read the title, author or ISBN, then discarded. We don’t keep it, and Anthropic doesn’t use it to train its models. Live barcode scanning happens in your browser: no image leaves your phone.
• Why: to sign you in, send the alerts you asked for and manage your subscription if you have one. Nothing else: no resale, no tracking. Sponsored slots are the same for everyone and use no data about you.
• How long: as long as your account exists. Reports are deleted one year after they are handled.
• Your rights: access, correction, deletion of your account and data. Write to us via the contact form. You can also complain to the CNIL (cnil.fr).
