title_body: What information does B&N collect about my Nook Usage? My wife and I both have nooks attached to the same account.  I have noticed that the when I open up a book that I have been reading on her Nook(usually because I let my battery go dead) that it knows what page I was on, with in a few minutes.  
  
  This got me thinking that if they are tracking where I am at in the book what other usage information are they collecting?
upvoted_answer: The Barnes &amp; Noble Mobile Privacy Supplement addresses the following questions as they relate to Devices and Retail Apps:
  
  
    
    What personal information do we collect?
    How do we collect personal information?
    How do we use personal information?
    With whom do we share personal information?
    What else about Barnes &amp; Noble’s Mobile Privacy Supplement would I want to know?
