Bookcicle and its brands

Bookcicle, LLC operates Bookcicle Studio and related authorship services, CareerGR, OurSircle, Redline and Funcspace. This policy covers shared account, billing, support and operational practices, together with the product-specific processing described below. Each brand publishes focused policies for its enabled features. Brand-specific privacy details apply to that product; using a shared account does not grant access to another user’s information.

Studio may process manuscripts, revisions, contribution records and requested AI assistance. CareerGR processes résumés and career reports. OurSircle processes Capsule, contact and release records and encrypted credential values. Redline processes comparison inputs and results. Funcspace processes submitted company information, research sources, previews and publication choices. Planned or demonstration features do not establish a live processing or custody commitment.

CareerGR Résumé and Report Data

CareerGR is a Bookcicle LLC brand. When you use CareerGR, we may process the résumé and target-role information you provide, deterministic facts extracted from those materials, AI-assisted analysis, suggested edits, generated drafts, report interactions, and export or sharing activity to provide, secure, support, and improve the requested service as described in this Policy.

A free guest preview does not call an AI model. Its temporary guest upload expires after 24 hours. If you unlock a report, sign in, or use a Creator workflow, related content and project records may be retained with your account according to this Policy and our operational retention practices.

CareerGR report sharing is user-directed. Anyone who receives an active report link may be able to view the associated read-only report. You are responsible for choosing recipients and protecting or revoking links that contain personal or employment information.

Résumés and reports may contain contact details, education, employment history, and information about other people. Submit only information needed for your requested analysis and that you are entitled to provide. AI-assisted workflows may send relevant content to the providers described in this Policy. Privacy and deletion requests for CareerGR can be directed to privacy@bookcicle.com using the rights and choices process below.

Redline Document Comparisons

Redline by Bookcicle processes the original and revised text or files you submit, comparison settings, generated redlines and artifacts, and related request information to perform comparisons and provide requested downloads, hosted viewers, or embeds. The comparison engine does not use generative AI. The no-model-training commitment below also applies to Redline comparison inputs and outputs.

Redline processes comparison inputs to return your results. Direct comparisons that do not require stored artifacts can be processed without saving the submitted files or comparison content to object storage. Uploaded files and requested downloads, hosted viewers, embeds, or paginated results may require temporary storage. Standard temporary uploads are scheduled to expire after one day. Hosted comparisons and iframe embeds may use longer retention periods according to the applicable service configuration and comparison settings. Viewer links and access tokens have their own expiration periods, which may differ from the content retention period. Expiration does not guarantee immediate deletion; deletion can occur later as storage lifecycle cleanup runs. A person with a valid viewer link or token may be able to see the comparison content, so share these credentials carefully.

If you use a Redline account or API key, we process account and key records, authentication and security information, usage and quota records, and billing information to provide access, measure usage, administer plans, prevent abuse, and support you. Payment information may be handled by the payment providers described below. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless needed for your comparison and you are authorized to provide it. Requests about Redline data may be sent to privacy@bookcicle.com under the rights and choices process below.

OurSircle Capsules and credentials

OurSircle processes account information, Capsule metadata, submitted content, contact and recipient information, permissions and enabled check-in or release activity. Supported credential values are encrypted on the user’s device and accessible only through authorized key access. This does not imply that account records, metadata or every uploaded file is end-to-end encrypted. Demonstrations use fictional data and do not activate live custody, monitoring or release services. Plan availability and coverage terms govern enabled account features.

Funcspace company research and publication

Funcspace processes submitted company facts, research sources, reports, preview links, owner claims, investor-interest submissions and publication settings. Connected chat tools receive information deliberately submitted through those tools, not a user’s full chat history. Public research and owner-approved published profiles can be visible to visitors and indexed elsewhere. Drafts and private references are separate from the public version. Features available in development or test environments do not establish production availability.

Your Privacy by Bookcicle Browser Extension

Your Privacy by Bookcicle is a browser extension developed under Bookcicle Brands to analyze and score third-party web tracking exposure. We believe in absolute transparency about what data is processed and where:

Default Local-Only Operation (Zero Telemetry by Default): By default, Your Privacy runs 100% locally on your device. Network request audits, tracker identification, cookie inspections, and score calculations occur exclusively within your browser’s local memory and isolated storage (chrome.storage.local). In this default state, the extension generates zero outbound network requests, transmits no telemetry, requires no user accounts or logins, and collects no personal information.

Opt-In Community Defense: If you choose to enable the Community Defense feature in the extension settings, your browser contributes anonymous, aggregated privacy observations for publicly visited domains to Bookcicle’s community defense database. These reports contain strictly the visited domain name, the calculated privacy score, and coarse tracker category counts. They contain zero personal identifiers, no user tokens, no cookies, no timestamps, and no query parameters. Incoming reports are strictly deduplicated so that each domain is recorded at most once per week, and Bookcicle does not log or persist user IP addresses in connection with Community Defense submissions.

Opt-In Page Journeys: If you also choose to enable Page Journeys, the extension records anonymous transition graph edges between sanitized site paths (e.g., from /home to /portal). To prevent any personal data leakage, dynamic path segments such as user IDs, numeric tokens, UUIDs, and hashes are automatically replaced with generic tokens (/:id/, /:uuid/), and all query parameters are discarded. Page Journeys are not stitched across sessions and contain no user or device identifiers.

User Autonomy and Cache Control: Participation in Community Defense and Page Journeys is entirely voluntary and disabled by default. You may toggle these features off at any time. Additionally, the extension options page allows you to inspect your weekly deduplication records and purge your local audit cache instantly with one click.

Bookcicle Zero-PII Guarantee: Your Privacy operates locally in your browser with zero telemetry by default. Opt-in Community Defense reports contain visited domains, calculated privacy scores, and coarse tracker category counts. When Page Journeys is also enabled, reports include transitions between sanitized paths. These report payloads exclude cookies, authentication headers, browser fingerprints, session tokens, IP addresses, and personal identifiers.

Agreement

BY USING THE SITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY, THEN YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SITE. BOOKCICLE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY AT ANY TIME. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE CHANGES.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of data and information as follows:

1. Non-personal Information – We may collect un-identified and non-identifiable information (“Non-personal Information”), including aggregated usage and technical details (e.g., browser type, operating system, access time, or de-identified usage statistics) to enhance the functionality of the Site.
2. Identifiable Information – We may also collect individually identifiable information (“Identifiable Information”) such as your name, email, IP address and other online identifiers (for example, device identifiers, login details, and, if you use social login, social media profile data), as well as payment information.

This information may be collected when you sign in, use our services, or is provided by third party providers, analytics vendors, and public registers. In some jurisdictions, certain technical data (such as IP address or device identifiers) is treated as personal data; where that is the case, we handle it in accordance with this Policy.

When you visit the Site or interact with our emails or ads, we may automatically collect usage data via cookies, web server logs, and web beacons.

No Model Training on User Content

Bookcicle does not use the content you submit to its products, including documents, manuscripts, résumés, Capsule content, and Redline comparison inputs or outputs, to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. When an AI-assisted feature needs to process your content, the content is used to deliver the service you requested. Our service providers may process it for that purpose under our instructions, but may not use it to train or improve their own models.

We may use operational information, such as usage counts, performance measurements, and support feedback, to maintain and improve our services. This does not authorize using your submitted content for model training.

Use of Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

1. To Provide and Improve Our Service: Process your content to deliver AI-powered feedback. Because AI output can be erroneous or plagiaristic, we log anonymised usage signals (e.g., rejected vs. accepted suggestions) to improve safety and encourage human-in-the-loop review.
2. To Moderate and Safeguard Content: Use automated tools to enforce our Content Policy.
3. To Communicate with You: Send you service-related updates and support messages.
4. To Analyze Trends: Analyze aggregated, de-identified usage data to improve site reliability, performance, and user experience.
5. To Maintain Security, Prevent Fraud, and Debug: Use logs, IP address, and other technical data to detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious or malicious activity, enforce our Terms of Use, protect our users and systems, apply rate limits, and diagnose technical issues.
6. To Comply with Legal Obligations: Process data as required by law or public authority.

Assisted Content Policy

Bookcicle leverages third-party providers for assisted writing and workflow services. This partnership assists authors in generating text (e.g., dialogue, narration). Bookcicle is not liable for the content produced by these providers; it is your responsibility to review and integrate generated content.

Third-Party Providers & Data Sharing

1. AI and Hosting Providers: We may use third-party APIs or cloud services (e.g., AWS, OpenAI) to process your submissions. We share data with these providers only when required to run the specific task you requested, and only the data reasonably necessary for that task. We require these providers to act solely as our processors and prohibit them by contract from using your content for their own model training or product improvement.
2. Service Providers: We share data with trusted providers for services such as payments, analytics, and customer support.
3. Legal or Compliance Reasons: Data may be disclosed to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights and safety.

We minimize the sharing of personal data by anonymizing or aggregating where possible, and by limiting vendor access to the minimum data needed for the relevant workflow.

Data Retention

• We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
• Security and technical logs (which may include IP address and device information) are retained for a limited period necessary to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents and abuse, and are then deleted or aggregated/anonymized.
• We may keep anonymized, aggregated data for research and analytics.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption (HTTPS) and access controls, to safeguard your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside your country of residence (e.g., to the United States). Where required by law, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or other approved safeguards.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are in the EEA/UK or where local law sets a higher age of digital consent (13–16), you must meet the applicable local age or obtain verifiable parental consent. If you believe a minor’s data has been collected, please contact us immediately.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

• Access your personal data.
• Correct or update inaccurate data.
• Delete your account or specific data.
• Object to or restrict processing.
• Withdraw Consent where applicable.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time. Material changes will be posted on our websites and are effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service signifies your acceptance of the updated Policy.

US State Privacy Notice

If you are a resident of certain US states (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia), you may have additional rights, including: (i) right to know/access; (ii) right to delete; (iii) right to correct; (iv) right to opt out of “sale”/“sharing” and targeted advertising; and (v) right to appeal our response to your request.

• Do Not Sell/Share: We honor state-law opt-outs for “sale”/“sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising.
• Global Privacy Control (GPC): Where required, we treat a valid GPC signal as an opt-out.
• Appeals: If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision email or contacting privacy@bookcicle.com.
