We collect personal information that you provide to us when you create an account, purchase a subscription, or use our services. This may include your name, email address, billing information, and usage data.

Use of Data

We use your data to:

• Provide and manage the BookScribi service
• Process payments

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Performance of a contract (e.g., providing the BookScribi service)
• Your consent (e.g., newsletter subscription)

• Our legitimate interests (e.g., to improve the platform and prevent abuse)

Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal data. Data is shared only with trusted third parties as required to operate the service (e.g. Stripe for payment processing), or as required by law.

Third-Party Services

BookScribi uses third-party services such as OpenAI and Stripe to provide its services. Your data may be processed by these services outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA). By using our services, you consent to such processing.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

GDPR Compliance

We comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the European GDPR where applicable.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time.

Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access or disclosure.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary for the operation and security of our platform. These cookies are primarily used for authentication and session management through services such as Auth.js, and are required for you to log in and access your account securely.

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes.

However, please note that certain third-party services integrated into our platform for payment processing (Stripe), transactional emails (SendGrid) and for AI-generated content features (OpenAI), may set their own cookies or similar technologies. These cookies are managed by the respective providers and are subject to their own privacy policies.

By using our platform, you consent to the use of essential cookies required for its core functionality. For more information about third-party cookies, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the respective service providers.

Email Communications and Newsletters

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send you occasional updates, product news, or promotional content. We only send such communications with your prior consent, and you may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing in your account settings or by contacting us directly.

We use a third-party service provider to manage and send newsletters (e.g., SendGrid). Your email address will be stored and processed securely by this provider in accordance with their privacy practices.

We will never sell your personal information or use it for unsolicited marketing.

Transactional Emails: We may send you system-generated or transactional emails related to your use of the platform. These include messages such as account confirmations, password resets, billing notifications, subscription updates, and other service-related communications necessary to operate your account. These emails are sent automatically and are considered part of the core service; they do not require separate consent.

We use a third-party email provider (e.g., SendGrid) to deliver these communications securely.
