Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how BookGurus (“BookGurus”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our website, mobile apps, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

This template should be tailored to your actual data flows (payments, shipping, marketing, analytics, customer support, etc.).

Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:

• Account data (name, email, password hash, profile preferences).
• Order & transaction data (items purchased, order history, billing/shipping addresses).
• Payment data (processed by our payment providers; we typically do not store full card numbers).
• Customer support data (messages, attachments, call logs where applicable).
• Device & usage data (IP address, browser type, pages viewed, app events).
• Cookies & similar technologies (see Cookies section).

We use personal information to:

• Provide and operate the Services (accounts, checkout, delivery updates).
• Process payments, prevent fraud, and secure transactions.
• Communicate with you (order confirmations, support responses).
• Personalize your experience (recommendations, saved lists).
• Improve performance and usability (analytics, debugging).
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

If you are in the EEA/UK (or where required), we process personal information under legal bases such as:

• Contract (to fulfill orders and provide Services)
• Legitimate interests (fraud prevention, security, service improvement)
• Consent (marketing emails, certain cookies)
• Legal obligation (tax, accounting, consumer protection)

We may share information with:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, email delivery, customer support tools)
• Payment processors (to complete transactions)
• Shipping/carriers (to deliver your orders)
• Legal & compliance (to comply with law or protect rights/safety)

We do not sell your personal information in the conventional sense. If you need a “Do Not Sell/Share” notice (e.g., certain U.S. laws), add it here.

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, analytics, and marketing (where permitted).

Add details about your cookie categories (Strictly Necessary, Analytics, Marketing) and include a link to your Cookie Policy and cookie settings.

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, including fulfilling orders, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Define specific retention periods for order records, support tickets, marketing consent logs, and analytics identifiers (based on your stack and legal requirements).

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Consider listing key controls you actually use (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, monitoring, backups).

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, and restriction of processing.

You can also opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us.

Our Services are not intended for children under the age required by applicable law (e.g., under 13 in the U.S.). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we transfer personal information across borders, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required by law.

We may update this Notice from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice where required.
