Your privacy is very important to Bookcicle, LLC (“we”, “our” or the “Company”). Accordingly, we have developed this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) to clarify how we collect, use, communicate and disclose information from users who access our websites at bookcicle.com, careergr.com, oursircle.com, redline.bookcicle.com, and their related subdomains (the “Site”). Additionally, this Policy outlines the measures we take to protect your information and how you may contact us about our privacy practices.
Processing your Personal Information (as defined herein) is necessary to provide you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests, and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
CareerGR is a Bookcicle LLC brand. When you use CareerGR, we may process the résumé and target-role information you provide, deterministic facts extracted from those materials, AI-assisted analysis, suggested edits, generated drafts, report interactions, and export or sharing activity to provide, secure, support, and improve the requested service as described in this Policy.
A free guest preview does not call an AI model. Its temporary guest upload expires after 24 hours. If you unlock a report, sign in, or use a Creator workflow, related content and project records may be retained with your account according to this Policy and our operational retention practices.
CareerGR report sharing is user-directed. Anyone who receives an active report link may be able to view the associated read-only report. You are responsible for choosing recipients and protecting or revoking links that contain personal or employment information.
Résumés and reports may contain contact details, education, employment history, and information about other people. Submit only information needed for your requested analysis and that you are entitled to provide. AI-assisted workflows may send relevant content to the providers described in this Policy. Privacy and deletion requests for CareerGR can be directed to privacy@bookcicle.com using the rights and choices process below.
Redline by Bookcicle processes the original and revised text or files you submit, comparison settings, generated redlines and artifacts, and related request information to perform comparisons and provide requested downloads, hosted viewers, or embeds. The comparison engine does not use generative AI. The no-model-training commitment below also applies to Redline comparison inputs and outputs.
Uploaded files and requested hosted comparisons may be stored temporarily to complete processing and make results available. Storage rules schedule these files and comparisons to expire after one day; deletion can occur later as the storage lifecycle runs. Viewer access tokens expire after 24 hours. A person with a valid viewer link or token may be able to see the comparison content, so share these credentials carefully.
If you use a Redline account or API key, we process account and key records, authentication and security information, usage and quota records, and billing information to provide access, measure usage, administer plans, prevent abuse, and support you. Payment information may be handled by the payment providers described below. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless needed for your comparison and you are authorized to provide it. Requests about Redline data may be sent to privacy@bookcicle.com under the rights and choices process below.
OurSircle is a Bookcicle product in development. Its current Capsule demonstration uses fictional data and does not provide secure Capsule uploads, paid coverage, check-ins, or release services. If you create an account, contact support, or visit the site, the account, communications, and technical information described in this Policy may be processed.
The planned Capsule service would process the documents, photos, memories, and instructions you choose to store; recipient and trusted-contact details; release settings; check-in schedules and responses; verification records; and coverage and delivery activity. These records would be used to store and manage Capsules, send requested reminders, verify release conditions, and administer access and coverage. Detailed practices and retention periods will be published before these features become available.
In the planned design, trusted contacts help confirm your status and do not automatically receive Capsule contents. Designated recipients receive only the contents authorized by your release instructions once the applicable conditions and checks are met. Provide other people’s information only when you have an appropriate basis to do so, and keep their contact details and your instructions current.
A custom check-in interval, including once every five years, does not extend storage or paid coverage. Before purchase, the service will specify coverage dates, renewal and export options, and the grace and retention periods that apply when coverage ends. General legal and security record retention is described elsewhere in this Policy.
Your Privacy by Bookcicle is a browser extension developed under Bookcicle Brands to analyze and score third-party web tracking exposure. We believe in absolute transparency about what data is processed and where:
Default Local-Only Operation (Zero Telemetry by Default):
By default, Your Privacy runs 100% locally on your device. Network
request audits, tracker identification, cookie inspections, and score
calculations occur exclusively within your browser’s local memory and
isolated storage (chrome.storage.local).
In this default state, the extension generates zero outbound network
requests, transmits no telemetry, requires no user accounts or logins,
and collects no personal information.
Opt-In Community Defense: If you choose to enable the Community Defense feature in the extension settings, your browser contributes anonymous, aggregated privacy observations for publicly visited domains to Bookcicle’s community defense database. These reports contain strictly the visited domain name, the calculated privacy score, and coarse tracker category counts. They contain zero personal identifiers, no user tokens, no cookies, no timestamps, and no query parameters. Incoming reports are strictly deduplicated so that each domain is recorded at most once per week, and Bookcicle does not log or persist user IP addresses in connection with Community Defense submissions.
Opt-In Page Journeys: If you also choose to enable Page
Journeys, the extension records anonymous transition graph edges between
sanitized site paths (e.g., from /home
to /portal). To prevent any personal
data leakage, dynamic path segments such as user IDs, numeric tokens,
UUIDs, and hashes are automatically replaced with generic tokens
(/:id/, /:uuid/),
and all query parameters are discarded. Page Journeys are not stitched
across sessions and contain no user or device identifiers.
User Autonomy and Cache Control: Participation in Community Defense and Page Journeys is entirely voluntary and disabled by default. You may toggle these features off at any time. Additionally, the extension options page allows you to inspect your weekly deduplication records and purge your local audit cache instantly with one click.
Bookcicle Zero-PII Guarantee: Your Privacy operates locally in your browser with zero telemetry by default. Opt-in Community Defense reports contain visited domains, calculated privacy scores, and coarse tracker category counts. When Page Journeys is also enabled, reports include transitions between sanitized paths. These report payloads exclude cookies, authentication headers, browser fingerprints, session tokens, IP addresses, and personal identifiers.
BY USING THE SITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY, THEN YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SITE. BOOKCICLE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY AT ANY TIME. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE CHANGES.
We collect two types of data and information as follows:
This information may be collected when you sign in, use our services, or is provided by third party providers, analytics vendors, and public registers. In some jurisdictions, certain technical data (such as IP address or device identifiers) is treated as personal data; where that is the case, we handle it in accordance with this Policy.
When you visit the Site or interact with our emails or ads, we may automatically collect usage data via cookies, web server logs, and web beacons.
Bookcicle does not use the content you submit to its products, including documents, manuscripts, résumés, Capsule content, and Redline comparison inputs or outputs, to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. When an AI-assisted feature needs to process your content, the content is used to deliver the service you requested. Our service providers may process it for that purpose under our instructions, but may not use it to train or improve their own models.
We may use operational information, such as usage counts, performance measurements, and support feedback, to maintain and improve our services. This does not authorize using your submitted content for model training.
We use your information for the following purposes:
Bookcicle leverages third-party providers for assisted writing and workflow services. This partnership assists authors in generating text (e.g., dialogue, narration). Bookcicle is not liable for the content produced by these providers; it is your responsibility to review and integrate generated content.
We minimize the sharing of personal data by anonymizing or aggregating where possible, and by limiting vendor access to the minimum data needed for the relevant workflow.
We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption (HTTPS) and access controls, to safeguard your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
We may transfer your personal data to countries outside your country of residence (e.g., to the United States). Where required by law, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or other approved safeguards.
Our Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are in the EEA/UK or where local law sets a higher age of digital consent (13–16), you must meet the applicable local age or obtain verifiable parental consent. If you believe a minor’s data has been collected, please contact us immediately.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time. Material changes will be posted on our websites and are effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service signifies your acceptance of the updated Policy.
If you are a resident of certain US states (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia), you may have additional rights, including: (i) right to know/access; (ii) right to delete; (iii) right to correct; (iv) right to opt out of “sale”/“sharing” and targeted advertising; and (v) right to appeal our response to your request.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you provide when you interact with our services, including our AI-powered writing coach (“Service”).

This AI Privacy Policy applies to:
It does not apply to services or websites that we do not own or control.
Bookcicle LLC uses third-party AI providers to power our writing coach. We send small samples of your writing to these providers for generating assisted text (dialog, narration, etc.). Bookcicle is not liable for AI-produced content. **You agree to perform your own plagiarism scan and substantive human edit before any public use, and you remain solely responsible for that content.**
We provide a toxicity score (safe, sensitive, unsafe) for AI content. Unsafe content is masked in our UI and counts toward your monthly AI quota.
AI assisted writing is available to Bookcicle Premium users (up to 30 requests per month, with specified character requirements). All AI request purchases are non-refundable.
We use automated systems (e.g., toxicity scoring and content moderation) to assist with safety and product integrity. These systems do not produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. You can contact us to learn more about how these systems work in the context of your use.
We aim to minimize personal data shared with third parties by anonymizing or aggregating when possible, and by limiting vendor access to the minimum data needed for the relevant workflow.
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and, where possible, at rest to protect your data. We also implement access controls and regular monitoring for vulnerabilities. However, no data transmission or storage method is 100% secure.
If you access our Service from outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. Where required by law (for example, for EEA/UK users), we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or other approved safeguards.
By using our Service, you understand that your data will be processed in these locations as described in this Privacy Policy.
Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor’s data has been collected, please contact us immediately.

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at the contact information below.
We reserve the right to update this AI Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be effective upon posting on our websites. Your continued use of our Service constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
We partner with third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) to power our AI features. Usage is measured in tokens or similar units. Bookcicle adds a markup above the base pricing set by these providers in order to cover infrastructure costs associated with our agent implementation. The specific pricing and subscription tiers are detailed on our Pricing Page.
We reserve the right to modify our service fees at any time. Your continued use of AI features after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new rates.
