Privacy policy

Printy collects only what it needs to turn the articles you choose into a book and post it to you. We do not sell your data, show advertising or track you across other sites. This policy follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. What we collect

Account details: your email address and name, or the details shared by Google if you sign in with Google.

Your reading: the links you save, the article text we fetch from them, your tags, issues and cover choices.

Orders: your delivery name, address and phone number, and the history of your orders. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach us.

Connected sources: if you link Readwise, Instapaper or an RSS feed, we store the access token or feed address so we can sync your saves. The browser extension uses a private key that we store only in scrambled (hashed) form.

2. Why we use it

To run the service you asked for (contract): saving articles, building and printing issues, delivering orders and sending order updates by email.

To meet legal duties such as tax and accounting records.

To keep the service secure and working (legitimate interest), for example preventing abuse and fixing errors.

3. Who we share it with

Lulu Press, Inc. receives your print file and delivery details to print and ship your book. Stripe processes payments. Our hosting and email providers store data and send messages on our behalf. Readwise or Instapaper receive requests only when you connect them.

Some of these providers are based in the United States. Transfers are protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

4. How long we keep it

Your library and issues are kept until you delete them or your account. Unclaimed guest work is deleted after 30 days. Order and payment records are kept for as long as tax law requires, usually six years.

5. Your rights

You can see, correct, export or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw any consent at any time. Most of this you can do yourself in your library and settings; for anything else, contact us and we will reply within one month.

You may also complain to the Spanish data protection authority (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos) or the authority in your country.

6. Cookies and storage

We use only essential browser storage to keep you signed in and remember guest work. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

7. Security

Your data is private to your account and protected by access rules on our servers. Print files can only be opened with an unguessable link, and full unmarked files exist only for paid orders.

8. Changes

We will post any changes here and tell you by email if they are significant.
