Privacy Policy

pub.co is operated by Atomix LLC (“Atomix,” “we,” or “us”), a Colorado limited liability company. “Pub.co” is a tradename registered with the Colorado Secretary of State. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use pub.co, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

We collect three categories of information:

1. Account information — when you sign up, our authentication provider Clerk collects your email address, name (if provided by your social login), and OAuth identifiers. Clerk handles password storage and session tokens on our behalf; we never see your password.
2. Author profile data — when you complete the AI onboarding, we fetch and store information from the URLs you supply: your name, biographical text, book titles, descriptions, cover images, ISBN/ASIN identifiers, publication dates, and links. You can edit, add, or delete this content at any time from your dashboard.
3. Usage information — our hosting provider (Vercel) and our authentication provider (Clerk) collect standard logs and cookies, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and secure pub.co;
• Build and display your public author profile and book pages;
• Authenticate you when you sign in;
• Generate AI-drafted bios and book descriptions on your behalf;
• Communicate with you about your account, the Service, or beta updates;
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with service providers acting on our behalf:

• Clerk — authentication and identity. See clerk.com/privacy.
• Supabase — database hosting for your author and book records. See supabase.com/privacy.
• Anthropic— AI generation. The text content from the URLs you supply is sent to Anthropic’s API for processing. See anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
• Vercel — application + edge hosting and logs. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Amazon Associates — when a visitor clicks one of our Amazon affiliate links, Amazon may set its own cookies and track the click. We receive aggregate referral information from Amazon.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms, to protect rights, or in connection with a business transaction.

We use first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in (Clerk session cookies), to operate the Service, and to track Amazon affiliate clicks (Amazon’s own cookies). We do not currently use third-party advertising trackers. Most browsers let you control cookies in their settings.

The content on your author profile and book pages is public by design — anyone with the URL can view it, and search engines may index it. Do not place private information in your public profile.

You have the right to:

• Access the information we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate information via the dashboard;
• Delete your account and the associated public pages — email us;
• Request an export of your data;
• Opt out of non-essential communications.

Residents of California, the EEA, the UK, and other regions may have additional rights under local law. Email us to exercise them.

We keep your data while your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete your author profile and book records from our active database within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

We protect your data with industry-standard measures, including HTTPS in transit, row-level security on the database, scoped service credentials, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; please report suspected vulnerabilities via our contact form.

We operate primarily from the United States. If you access pub.co from outside the United States, your information may be transferred, stored, and processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

We may update this Policy. We’ll update the effective date at the top and, for material changes, notify you via the Service or by email.
