1. Who We Are

KDP Cover AI ("we", "us", "our") is an AI-powered book cover generation service for Amazon KDP self-publishers. We are operated as an independent SaaS product. Our website is kdp-cover-ai.vercel.app.

Information you provide:

  • Email address and name (required to create an account)
  • Book details you enter (title, genre, description, author name)

  • Support messages you send us

Information collected automatically:

  • IP address, browser type, and device information
  • Pages visited and actions taken within the app
  • Session identifiers and authentication tokens (via Clerk)
  • Referral codes used when signing up

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on Neon PostgreSQL servers in the United States. We use HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data transmission. Passwords are never stored — authentication is handled by Clerk. Generated cover images are stored as Base64 in our database and are only accessible to you.

6. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication (session tokens via Clerk). We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. We use anonymous analytics to understand platform usage. You may disable non-essential cookies in your browser without affecting core functionality.

7. Your Rights

  • Access — request a copy of all data we hold about you
  • Correction — correct inaccurate personal data
  • Deletion — request deletion of your account and all associated data
  • Portability — receive your cover data in a machine-readable format
  • Opt-out — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@kdpcoverai.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently delete your data within 30 days, except where required by law (e.g. billing records kept for 7 years for tax purposes).

9. Children's Privacy

KDP Cover AI is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and update the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
