## Description

Tomevexa Book Catalog di Francesco La Mancusa provides tools for creating and maintaining
a book catalogue in WordPress.

Main features include:

 * A dedicated book post type and bibliographic taxonomies.
 * Searches and imports by ISBN, title, ASIN, or Amazon product URL.
 * Google Books as the primary bibliographic source, with Open Library fallback.
 * Optional Amazon Creators API integration and Amazon Associates links.
 * Public author profiles with biography, dates, image attribution, and related 
   books.
 * Catalogue, search, and single-book shortcodes.
 * Dynamic Gutenberg blocks for catalogue and book views.
 * Front-end output built with accessibility best practices in mind.

Imported books are saved as drafts so an editor can review them before publication.

### External services

Tomevexa Book Catalog may communicate with the following external services when 
the related feature is used or enabled:

#### Google Books API

Used to search for and retrieve bibliographic data and cover information. Search
terms, ISBNs, and book titles may be sent to Google. Google Books API terms: https://
developers.google.com/books/terms — Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.
com/privacy

#### Open Library APIs

Used as a fallback source for bibliographic data and cover images. Search terms,
ISBNs, and book titles may be sent to Open Library. The service is operated by the
Internet Archive. Terms: https://archive.org/about/terms.php — Privacy policy: https://
archive.org/about/terms.php#privacy

#### Amazon Creators API

Used only after the administrator configures valid credentials. ASINs, ISBNs, titles,
and product requests may be sent to Amazon to retrieve product information and create
supported affiliate links. Use is subject to Amazon’s applicable programme terms
and privacy policy: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/agreement—
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GX7NJQ4ZB8MHFRNJ

#### Wikimedia services

Wikidata, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia Commons may be queried to enrich author profiles
with biographical information and properly attributed images. These requests occur
only when an administrator explicitly chooses the author enrichment action from 
the author edit screen. The author name is then sent as a search term; no Wikimedia
request is made automatically when an author term is created. Wikimedia services
are operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Terms: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/
wiki/Policy:Terms_of_Use — Privacy policy: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Policy:Privacy_policy

### Privacy

The plugin does not send visitor personal data to its bibliographic services by 
default. Administrators should review the external-service terms and privacy policies
and disclose enabled integrations as required for their site and jurisdiction.
