What BookGist.ai privacy policy authors need to know

BookGist.ai privacy policy authors is designed to make author protections transparent: when authors submit books to our AI-powered book summary platform, we require explicit consent, explain how content is used to generate 15-minute readable and audio summaries, and outline attribution and takedown options. For full details, visit https://www.bookgist.ai/ and read the privacy policy.

We limit the personal data we collect to only what's necessary for processing submissions and communicating with authors. Our policy explains how we store submissions, how long data is retained, and the circumstances under which summaries are shared publicly in the free library.

Trusted by over 2,000 authors and independent publishers, BookGist.ai combines transparent consent logs, secure storage, and a responsive takedown process — “Clear, respectful, and fast,” says Maria K., independent author.
