Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
In short:
- We store the book idea and book content you enter, and one cookie that tells us which books are yours.
- To write and illustrate your book, we send text to two AI providers: Anthropic for the writing and Google for the pictures.
- We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not sell your personal information.
- Do not put sensitive personal information into a book idea. To have your books deleted, write to hello@ebookmuse.com.
1. Who we are
EbookMuse is operated by Bogwon LLC, a limited liability company in the United States. Bogwon LLC decides how and why your personal information is used (it is the “controller” under some laws). You can reach us at hello@ebookmuse.com.
This policy covers the website at ebookmuse.com and the EbookMuse service.
2. What we collect
What you enter. Your book idea, the type of book and tone you choose, your description of the reader, the author name if you give one, and any edits you make to titles and chapters.
What is generated for you. The outline, chapter text, cover image and chapter illustrations of each book you make.
A visitor id. When you start your first book we create a random id and store it in a cookie in your browser. Your books and your plan are stored against that id. The id is not built from your name, email or device.
Server logs. Like most websites, the servers that run EbookMuse record technical details of requests, such as IP address, browser type, the page or file requested, and the date and time. We also log how much AI processing each generation used, and error details when something fails.
What you send us. If you email us, we keep your email address and the messages.
When you create an account. We collect your name and email address, and link your books to your account. If you choose a password, we store only a scrambled form of it that cannot be turned back into the password. A second cookie keeps you signed in.
If you sign in with Google. Google tells us your name, your email address, whether Google has confirmed that address, and an id for your Google account. We use these only to create your account and to sign you in to it. We never receive your Google password, and we do not ask for your contacts, files or anything else in your Google account.
When you pay. Paid plans are not available yet. When they are, payments will be handled by our payment provider. It will collect your payment details, billing address and anything needed for tax. We will receive a record of your subscription, such as your plan, payment status and country, but not your full card number.
3. Do not enter sensitive information
Please do not put sensitive personal information into a book idea or book text. That includes health details, government id numbers, financial account details, passwords, and private information about other people. What you enter is sent to AI providers to generate your book and is stored on our servers.
4. Why we use it
- To provide the service: generate, store, show and export your books, and apply plan limits.
- To keep the service working and safe: fix faults, measure costs, and prevent abuse.
- To answer you when you contact us.
- To manage accounts and subscriptions and send service messages about them, once those exist.
- To meet legal duties, such as tax and accounting rules.
Where the law asks for a legal basis, we rely on: carrying out our agreement with you (providing the service), our legitimate interests (keeping the service secure and working), and legal obligations.
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles of you.
5. Who we share it with
We share information only with companies that help us run the service. They process it on our behalf.
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | Generates the outline and chapter text | Your book idea, book type, tone, reader description, and the book’s title, subtitle and chapter outline, including your edits to them |
| Google (Gemini API) | Generates the cover and chapter illustrations | A short description of the picture to draw, which is based on your book and may include its title or a chapter title |
We do not send these providers your visitor id, your IP address or the author name you enter. They handle the text they receive under their own terms and privacy policies for business customers.
We also use, or will use, these kinds of provider:
- a hosting provider, which runs our servers and stores the data described above;
- a payment provider, when paid plans are available;
- an email provider, to send account messages such as the link that confirms your email address or resets your password.
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or other people’s safety, or with a buyer if the business is sold or reorganised. A buyer would have to keep to this policy or tell you about any change.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.
6. Cookies
EbookMuse sets one cookie:
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
em_uid | Holds your random visitor id so we can show you your own books. It is set by us, cannot be read by scripts on the page, and is created when you start your first book. | One year |
This cookie is needed for the service to work. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies or third-party tracking scripts.
If you delete this cookie, or use a different browser or device, you will no longer see your books, and without an account we may not be able to reconnect you to them.
When accounts are available, we will also set a cookie to keep you signed in. If we ever add other kinds of cookie, we will update this policy and ask for consent where the law requires it.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your books for as long as they are needed to provide the service to you, or until you ask us to delete them. We keep server logs for a limited time for security and troubleshooting. We keep payment and tax records for as long as the law requires.
We may delete books that have not been opened for a long time, especially those made without an account. Keep your own copy of anything you want to keep.
After deletion, copies may remain in backups for a short time before they are overwritten.
8. How we protect it
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. The visitor cookie cannot be read by page scripts and is sent only over an encrypted connection, and a book can be opened only from the browser that holds its visitor id. No online service can promise complete security.
9. Your rights
Whoever you are, you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct information that is wrong;
- delete your books and other personal information.
If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, data protection law (such as the GDPR and UK GDPR) also gives you the right to object to or restrict some uses of your information, to receive it in a portable format, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act may give you the right to know what personal information is collected, to have it deleted or corrected, and not to be treated unfairly for using those rights. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Other US states give their residents similar rights.
To use any of these rights, write to hello@ebookmuse.com. We will reply within the time the law allows. We need to be sure a request relates to you. Because there are no accounts yet, we may ask you to send the request from the browser you used, or to tell us the web address of the book concerned.
10. Children
EbookMuse is for adults. It is not directed at children, and you must be at least 18 to use it. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. International transfers
Bogwon LLC is based in the United States, and we and our providers process information in the United States and possibly other countries. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those where you live.
Where data protection law requires specific safeguards for sending personal information abroad, we will put those safeguards in place with our providers.
12. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy as the service changes, for example when accounts and paid plans are added. We will post the new version here and change the date at the top. If a change is significant and we have your email address, we will tell you by email.
13. Contact
