Privacy Policy
Effective August 16, 2026. This describes what Quire collects, why, and the choices you have about it.
Information we collect
We collect only what's needed to run the product:
- Account information: your name, email address, and avatar, from sign-in (email magic link or Google OAuth).
- Content you create: manuscripts, chapters, front matter, comments, and book covers you or your collaborators upload.
- Reader activity: reading progress and time spent per chapter, used to show authors aggregate engagement on their own books (e.g. "40% of readers finished chapter 3").
- Usage & performance data: basic, non-identifying page performance metrics collected via Vercel Speed Insights.
How we use it
- To operate your workspace - store and sync your books, chapters, and feedback.
- To send transactional email: invitations, comment notifications, and account access.
- To show you and your collaborators reading progress and feedback on shared books.
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse (e.g. rate-limiting invite sends).
We do not sell your data, and we do not use your manuscripts to train any model.
Who we share it with
Quire runs on a small set of infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf:
- Supabase - database, authentication, and file storage (avatars, covers).
- Resend - delivery of transactional email (invites, notifications, contact form replies).
- Vercel - application hosting and performance monitoring.
We don't share your content or personal information with anyone beyond these providers.
Your choices
- You can edit your name and avatar any time from Settings.
- You can request a copy or deletion of your account and associated data by emailing us at support@quireguild.in.
- Deleting a book removes its chapters, versions, comments, and reader data permanently.
Cookies
We use only the essential cookies Supabase sets to keep you signed in. We don't use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify account holders by email.
