9. Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or a similar privacy jurisdiction, we process your personal information under one or more legal bases:

  • Contract: to provide the BookTrendr service you requested

If you delete your account, we may schedule deletion with a delay, such as 30 days, to prevent accidental deletion and complete legal or security checks.

Some records may remain longer if required by law, payment rules, fraud prevention, backups, or dispute resolution.

11. Account Deletion

When deletion is completed, we will delete or anonymize personal data associated with your account unless we need to retain certain information for legal, billing, tax, fraud prevention, security, or dispute purposes.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your location, to use BookTrendr.

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

17. Public Content and User Inputs

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may notify you through the app, by email, or by updating the "Last updated" date.
