Privacy policy

Who we are

AuthorOps is a service of Intellectual Perspective Press, run by Debbie Jenkins from Murcia, Spain. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

What we collect

• Waitlist: your name, email, the jobs you want help with, your book stage, your price expectation, anything you add in the notes, and when you gave consent.
• Authors: account details, your answers and voice notes during Boarding, your book and platform details, files you upload, approvals and comments, and the work we produce for you.
• Everyone: basic technical data needed to run and secure the site, such as IP address (used for spam protection and rate limiting; we store only a one-way scrambled version of it) and essential browser storage that keeps you signed in.
• Contact form: your name, email and message.

Why we use it, and our legal basis under the GDPR

• To run the waitlist and tell you about AuthorOps: your consent. You can withdraw it at any time.
• To deliver the service to authors: performance of our contract with you.
• To keep the site secure and stop spam: our legitimate interests.
• To meet tax and accounting obligations: legal obligation.

How we use AI

Our crew uses AI tools to help draft work for authors. Every output is reviewed by a person before it reaches you, and nothing goes out in your name without your approval. We do not use your data to train AI models, and we choose providers whose terms do not allow them to train on it.

Who we share it with

Only the providers we need to run the service, under data processing agreements:

• Lovable (Lovable Cloud): website hosting, database, sign-in and file storage. The site is served through Cloudflare's network.
• Resend: delivery of the emails we send you, such as sign-in links, approvals and waitlist updates.
• Lovable AI Gateway: transcribes Boarding voice notes into text, passing the audio to the underlying AI model provider.
• Google Fonts: serves the typefaces the site uses, so your browser connects to Google to download them.

Some of these may process data outside the European Economic Area; where they do, transfers are protected by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard. We never sell your data.

How long we keep it

• Waitlist data: until launch plus 12 months, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first.
• Author data: for the length of the booking, then up to 12 months so we can hand over your assets, except records we must keep longer for tax and accounting.
• Contact form messages: up to 24 months.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or move your data, object to how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Contact us via the contact form. If you're unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (https://www.aepd.es).

Cookies

We only use cookies and browser storage that are essential to run the site and keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics on the site.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and tell authors and waitlist members by email if the change is significant.
