Privacy Policy

Summary

We collect what we need to write and store your books, and nothing to sell. We never sell your data and never use your books to train AI models.

BookBee AI is run by its founder, Aimbelo. Questions about your data: hello@bookbeeai.com.

What we collect

Account details: your email address, and the name and pen name you choose to add.

Your books: ideas, your answers on the New book screen, any writing sample, the text of notes and files you add (we keep the text, not the files), plans, chapters and their earlier versions, book details such as a dedication, covers, pictures you upload and exported files. Covers and pictures you upload are stored at public web addresses that are hard to guess, so anyone with the link can open them.

Usage: which AI features you use, how many words and tokens each one used, and which book it was for. We use this for your plan's limits and our costs.

Payments: handled by our payment provider, Polar. We never see your full card number. We send Polar your email and account ID, and keep your plan and renewal date.

Free tools

The story and title generators work without an account. To count your free uses each day, we keep two scrambled codes, one made from your internet address and browser and one from your address alone. We never store the address itself, and the codes change every day. Codes more than two days old are deleted the next time anyone uses the tools. Cloudflare checks that a person, not a bot, is using the tool, which means your address and browser details also reach Cloudflare. The text you type is sent to our AI provider to write the result and is not stored in an account.

Emails we send

We email you sign-in links and, unless you turn it off in Settings, one email when a book is finished, which includes the book's title. If you start from an idea on our home page, that idea is included in your sign-in link.

Who processes your data

We use trusted providers to run BookBee: Vercel (hosting), Supabase (database and sign-in), Cloudflare (file storage and bot protection), Anthropic and OpenAI (AI writing and covers), Resend (email), Polar (payments) and Namecheap (forwarding email you send to hello@bookbeeai.com). When you use the cover editor, your browser also loads stock photos from Pixabay and lettering from Google Fonts, so they see your internet address.

Our AI providers process your text to write your book. Under their API terms, they do not use it to train their models.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in. Your reading settings, such as text size and night mode, are kept in your browser. Cloudflare’s bot check on the free tools may set its own cookie or similar storage to do its job. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep your account, books and usage records while your account is open. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete them within 30 days. Copies in backups expire on our database provider's schedule.

Your rights

In the app you can read and edit your books, download them in the formats your plan includes, change your name and remove chapters and covers. To get a copy of your data, correct your email or delete anything else, write to hello@bookbeeai.com and we will reply within 30 days. If you live in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If we change how we use your data in an important way, we will tell you by email or in the app before it applies.
