Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, chosen username, display name, and any profile information you optionally provide (bio, avatar).

Content you post. We store quotes, reflections, captions, and any other content you submit to the platform.

Usage data. We may collect basic usage information such as pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns to help us understand how the platform is used and improve it.

Authentication data. If you sign in via a third-party provider (e.g., Google), we receive only the information that provider shares with us, typically your email address and name.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain your account
  • Display your content and profile to other users
  • Respond to your requests or support inquiries
  • Improve and develop the platform
  • Enforce our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a hosted database and authentication service. Data is stored on servers located in the United States or European Union depending on your region. We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

Bookisty uses a small number of third-party services necessary to operate the platform, including:

  • Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage
  • Vercel — hosting and infrastructure
  • Google Books API — book search and metadata (no personal data is shared)

These services have their own privacy policies. We do not share personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for these services to function.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information in your profile
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data
  • Export your content before deletion

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@bookisty.com.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure credential storage, and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the updated date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Bookisty after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
