Shamela MCP Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

This policy describes data processing by the public, read-only Shamela MCP service. The service does not require an account or sign-in.

Data we process

We process tool arguments sent by the client, such as search terms, book and page IDs, and quotations, to return results. Operational and security data may include IP address, request time, client type, response status, and a random error-correlation ID. If you contact support, we process your email address and the information you choose to send.

The MCP service receives tool arguments sent by the client, not your entire ChatGPT conversation. Do not include confidential or unnecessary personal information in searches or quotations.

Purposes and retention

We use data to perform searches and source reads, enforce rate limits, protect the service, diagnose failures, and answer support requests. We do not sell MCP user information or use tool arguments for advertising. Tool arguments are processed to produce a response and are not intentionally kept as a permanent user search history. Short-lived rate-limit data is held in memory. Standard access and security logs may be retained for a limited period needed for security and operations. Support messages are retained as needed to resolve the request and protect the service.

Service providers

Connections pass through Cloudflare for security and delivery, and hosting infrastructure processes requests. When you use Shamela through ChatGPT, OpenAI processes the conversation and sends tool arguments under its own policies. Website pages may use standard web analytics; the MCP endpoint itself does not load a browser interface or advertising.

Your choices and contact

You may stop using the service at any time. For privacy questions or applicable access, correction, or deletion requests, email mail@shamela.ws. We may request limited information to verify and process a request. Material updates will be reflected by the date above.
