Privacy Policy for Boovie
Effective Date: September 22, 2026
Welcome to Boovie (getboovie.com and its mobile applications). As an individual hobby project, Boovie aims to keep things simple and transparent. This policy explains what minimal information is collected and how it is handled.
1. Information We Collect
Boovie does not use user accounts, profiles, or saved lists, so we do not intentionally collect personal information such as names or email addresses.
Automatically Collected Data: Like most internet services, our servers automatically log standard technical information when you use Boovie. This may include your IP address, browser type, requested pages or resources, and timestamps. This information is used strictly to monitor server health, fix bugs, and prevent abuse.
2. How We Use Your Information
The minimal server data collected is used solely to:
* Provide, maintain, and improve Boovie and its services. * Protect our infrastructure from malicious activity, automated scraping, or abuse.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone.
3. Cookies and Affiliate Links
Boovie does not use tracking cookies for its own analytics or advertising.
As mentioned in our Terms of Service, Boovie occasionally uses commissioned affiliate links for books. If you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer may place a cookie on your browser to track the referral so Boovie may earn a small commission. Boovie does not track your behavior across other websites.
4. Hosting and Third-Party Services
Boovie is hosted on private infrastructure provided by a third-party hosting company. Their infrastructure processes the standard server logs mentioned above to keep the service online and secure.
Additionally, Boovie relies on external APIs and services, such as Hardcover.app and The Movie Database (TMDB), for its catalog. Your device may connect to their servers to load certain content, such as book covers or movie posters. Boovie does not intentionally send these services identifying information about you.
5. Security and Data Retention
Reasonable steps are taken to secure our private infrastructure and the logs it generates. Server logs are kept only as long as necessary for maintenance and security monitoring and are periodically cleared.
Please remember that Boovie is a solo hobby project, and no internet service can guarantee absolute security against all threats.
6. Changes to this Policy
If the project grows or changes, this Privacy Policy may be updated. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date where appropriate.
