Privacy Policy

Effective date: 31 March 2026 · Last updated: 31 March 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how BookInfluencers ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares personal data when you use our mobile application, website at bookinfluencers.app, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

The Services integrate third-party APIs including Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google (YouTube), and TikTok. This policy satisfies the data-disclosure requirements of each of those platforms as well as Apple App Store guidelines and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

7. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies (users in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom), we rely on:

Purpose	Legal basis
Providing and securing the Services, processing your account	Contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Connecting third-party accounts (Meta, Google, TikTok)	Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
Improving the platform, fraud prevention, analytics	Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
Marketing communications (optional, opt-in)	Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
Legal obligations (e.g. tax records)	Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))

8. How We Share Data

We share data only as necessary to operate the platform:

Other platform users — creator profiles (name, photo, metrics, niche) are visible to brands for discovery and matching. You control which data is included in your public profile.
Service providers — hosting (Firebase / Google Cloud), analytics, crash reporting, and payment processors, under contracts requiring appropriate data security.
Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of BookInfluencers or others.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

9. International Data Transfers

Our services may involve the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or rely on an adequacy decision. The third-party APIs we integrate (Meta, Google, TikTok) conduct their own international transfers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable law:

Account data — retained while your account is active, deleted within 30 days of account closure upon request.
Third-party social data — retained only while your account is connected; deleted upon disconnection or account closure.
Transaction and payment records — retained for up to 7 years for legal and accounting purposes.
Crash logs and diagnostics — retained for up to 90 days.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — request deletion of your personal data.
Restriction — ask us to stop processing your data in certain circumstances.
Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
Withdraw consent — withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@bookinfluencers.app. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

12. Children's Privacy

The Services are intended for users aged 18 and older (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly. Contact us at info@bookinfluencers.app if you believe we have collected data from a minor.

13. Security

We implement technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your data.

14. Cookies and Tracking

Our website may use essential cookies for session management and security. Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) may be used to understand traffic patterns. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Our mobile app uses Firebase Analytics and may use device identifiers for crash reporting; you can opt out of analytics in the app settings.

15. Changes to This Policy
