Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At PublishGuard (https://getpublishguard.com), protecting your unpublished manuscripts, pen-name matrix, and personal data is foundational to our business. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we keep it strictly isolated.

2. Zero Model-Training Guarantee on Your Manuscripts

• Your book outlines, chapters, pen names, companion domains, and uploaded EPUB files are processed strictly to execute your requested compliance scans, prose generation, and PDF/EPUB compilation.
• We never sell, publish, or use your private manuscripts to train public or shared AI foundation models.

3. Information We Collect

1. Account Information: Name, email address, and encrypted authentication credentials.
2. Publishing Workspace Data: Pen profiles, companion domains, book blueprints, chapter drafts, and compiled export bundles stored privately in your account.
3. Billing & Payment Data: Processed securely by our payment provider (Stripe). PublishGuard does not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
4. Scanner Rate-Limiting Metadata: Temporarily hashed IP identifiers to enforce daily anonymous limits on the free /tools/kdp-guard scanner.

4. Data Isolation & Security

Every pen profile and manuscript project is scoped strictly to your authenticated user ID. All sensitive platform credentials and API keys are encrypted at rest and transmitted over TLS.

5. Data Export & Deletion Rights

You may export your compiled books at any time or request complete deletion of your account and associated manuscripts by emailing [email protected].
