The short version
PaperPace builds a personal morning booklet and emails it to your Kindle. We collect what that job needs and nothing more. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and everything we hold about you can be deleted by you, immediately, from Settings.
What we collect
Account: your email address, a hashed password (or a Google sign-in identity if you connect one), timezone, and the Send-to-Kindle address you give us for delivery.
Your Booklet: the chapters you configure, your delivery schedule, articles you save, and reading-queue activity.
Personalization: facts you share to make chapters more relevant — goals, interests, preferences. Behavioral inference from your reading activity is off by default and opt-in; anything inferred is labeled with its evidence and can be dismissed. We never infer sensitive categories (health, religion, politics, sexual orientation, and similar) regardless of settings.
Ask conversations: recent messages you send to Ask, kept short-term for conversational continuity, plus an audit log of the changes Ask makes so you can review and undo them.
Calendar (optional): if you connect Google Calendar, we cache events from the calendars you enable, within a ±2-week window, to print your agenda. Disconnecting deletes the cache and revokes our access at Google.
Product events: small usage signals (event names and counts — never your message text or article contents).
Google user data
Two Google connections exist, each behind its own explicit consent screen. Google sign-in uses identity scopes only (your name, email address, and Google account identifier) to create or access your PaperPace account. Google Calendar is a separate, optional, read-only grant (calendar.calendarlist.readonly and calendar.events.readonly): we read the list of your calendars so you can choose which ones to enable, and event details (titles, times, locations) from only the calendars you enable.
How it's used: to print the Today's Agenda chapter of your booklet — composed by our own servers, no AI involved — and, if you leave the “Let Ask use my schedule” setting on, to answer schedule questions you ask (see AI providers below). Nothing else. Google user data is never used for advertising, never sold or transferred to data brokers, never used to determine creditworthiness or for lending, and never used to train AI models.
Storage: events from enabled calendars are cached within a ±2-week window and refreshed periodically; the credential Google issues us is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). No human at PaperPace reads your calendar data except with your explicit permission for a support request, when necessary for security or abuse investigation, or where required by law.
Deletion: disconnecting in Settings → Integrations immediately deletes every cached event and revokes our access at Google. You can also revoke access any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Deleting your account removes everything.
PaperPace's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
What we never do
No advertising, no sale or sharing of personal data for others' purposes, no individualized pricing, and no use of your data to make decisions about employment, housing, credit, insurance, or anything similarly consequential. Personalization tailors booklet content and settings — nothing else.
AI providers
Generated chapters (lessons, quizzes, reflections, workouts) are produced by a configured model provider (currently Google Gemini). Requests carry the task, the scoped personalization context you can read on your Personalization page, and page context — never your email address, Kindle address, account IDs, or password material. When you ask Ask a schedule question and calendar access is on, the request also includes event titles and times from your enabled calendars for the day in question. Calls are stateless: we keep the conversation history, not the provider, and providers are not permitted to train models on this data.
Payments
Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us — we store only your subscription status and a Stripe customer reference.
Retention and deletion
Data is kept while your account is active, with short internal retention windows for conversation history. Deleting your account (Settings → Delete account) removes your account and everything attached to it — booklet, editions, queue, personalization, calendar cache, sessions — immediately and permanently, and cancels any active subscription.
