Know what is private and what you share
Your account is personal; publishing and feedback links reveal only the book view each one is designed to reveal.
Private by default
Briefs, conversations, manuscripts, sources, covers, and exports live inside your personal account until you choose a sharing action. Requested generation sends the material needed for that action to AI providers. Read the current Privacy Policy for the legal detail and subprocessors, and the Terms for your responsibilities.
Feedback link versus public page
A feedback link reads the live manuscript; a public page reads a publish-time snapshot and its clean PDF. Both hide your email, notes, raw sources, account settings, and other projects.
Feedback links are revocable and not for search indexing. Public-page indexing is your choice and starts off.
Reader information
A public-page sign-up creates or updates one reader record for the author. It contains an unconfirmed email and the consent attached to the sign-up. Chapbook may record view, sign-up, read, download, and return events using a signed reader cookie. You can add tags and notes and export the list as CSV.
Chapbook never emails readers.
Deletion and recovery
A book moved to trash is retained for 30 days before its chapters, sources, covers, and exports are purged. Readers can be permanently deleted from Readers.
For account or data-rights requests, or to restore a trashed book during its window, contact hello@chapbook.ink.
Share safely
Treat a feedback URL as a secret and remove sensitive personal data before sending text to an AI action or publishing it. Check every source and generated claim before release.
