Scribando Book Marketing Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 8, 2025
Introduction
Scribando Book Marketing For Amazon KDP Books ("Scribando," "we," "us," or "our") is a Chrome extension designed to analyze Amazon KDP book performance by providing insights into metrics like Best Sellers Rank (BSR), reviews, and content quality. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our extension. By installing and using Scribando, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following information when you use Scribando on Amazon product pages:
- Page Data:
- Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) from the URL of the product page.
- Book description text extracted from the page (if available).
- Local Storage Data:
- User preferences, such as whether Highlight Mode is enabled (
scribandoHighlightMode) and whether the overlay is minimized (scribandoMinimized), stored locally on your device via Chrome’s localStorage.
We do not collect personally identifiable information (e.g., your name, email, or address) unless explicitly provided by you (e.g., through our website).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Analyze book performance metrics (e.g., BSR, reviews, content quality) and display insights in an overlay on Amazon product pages.
- Send ASIN and book description data to our server (
https://api.scribando.com) to retrieve additional performance data, such as success scores.
- Store your preferences locally to maintain your settings (e.g., Highlight Mode state) between sessions.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
- API: We send ASIN and book description data to our API server, hosted at
https://api.scribando.com/. This server processes the data to provide performance insights. We do not share this data with other third parties.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required to comply with legal obligations, such as a court order or government request.
4. Data Storage and Security
- Local Storage: User preferences are stored locally on your device using Chrome’s
localStorage and are not transmitted to our servers.
- Server Data: Data sent to our API is processed temporarily and not retained beyond the request unless necessary for debugging or improving the service. We implement reasonable security measures (e.g., HTTPS encryption) to protect data in transit, but no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- Retention: We do not store page data (ASINs or descriptions) on our servers longer than needed to fulfill your request, typically discarding it after processing unless aggregated anonymously for analytics.
5. User Control and Choices
- You can disable or uninstall Scribando at any time via Chrome’s extension settings (
chrome://extensions/).
- Clearing your browser’s storage will remove locally stored preferences.
- The extension only activates on Amazon product pages (
https://www.amazon.*/dp/*) and does not collect data from other sites.
6. Third-Party Links
The extension includes a link to our website (https://www.scribando.com/booktransformer/report.html) for full reports. This Privacy Policy does not cover external sites; please review their respective policies.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of Scribando after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
