5. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.

We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics purposes. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

6. How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your Google account. Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from Google, including your name, email address, and profile picture.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.

Connected Advertising Accounts (Meta Ads and Amazon Ads)

In Short: If you choose to connect an ad account, we read your own ad performance numbers so we can show them to you next to your book income. We never share, sell, or use that data for advertising, and you can disconnect at any time.

The Sales area of the Services lets you optionally connect your own Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads account and/or your own Amazon Ads account. Connecting is always your choice; nothing is accessed until you click "Connect" and complete the provider's own login and consent screen. For Meta, this uses Facebook Login for Business and requests only the ads_read permission. Our access is read-only. We cannot create, edit, pause, or fund ads or campaigns on your behalf.

What we access. Once connected, we retrieve from the provider: the ad account identifier and name you selected, and aggregate performance figures for that account — advertising spend, impressions, clicks, and campaign names — for the date range you choose in your dashboard. We do not access your personal Facebook or Amazon profile beyond what the provider's login flow shows you, your audiences, your creative assets, your payment methods, or anyone else's ad accounts.

Why we access it. Solely to display your own advertising spend and performance back to you, inside your private InkHub dashboard, alongside your royalty and sales data so you can see your net profit per period. This is the only purpose.

How we store it. We store the access token the provider issues, the selected ad account identifier and name, and a short-lived cache of the performance figures so your dashboard loads quickly. Tokens are stored server-side in our database (Supabase) and are never exposed to other users or third parties. Cached figures are refreshed when you view the page or change the date range.

What we never do. We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer your ad account data to anyone. We do not combine it with other users' data. We do not use it for advertising, targeting, profiling, or model training. We do not use it for any purpose other than showing it to you.

How to disconnect and delete. Click "Disconnect" on the relevant ad platform card in Sales → Ads. This immediately deletes the stored token, account identifier, and all cached performance data for that platform from our systems. You can also revoke InkHub's access from the provider's side at any time (for Meta: Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites; for Amazon: your Amazon account's Login with Amazon settings). Deleting your InkHub account removes all connected-account data as part of account deletion. You may also submit a request through our data request page.

7. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than one (1) month past the termination of your account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

9. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at support@getinkhub.com.

10. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In Short: Depending on your location, you may have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to: (i) request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) request rectification or erasure, (iii) restrict the processing of your personal information, (iv) data portability, and (v) not be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority.

If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details in section 15 below.

Account Information

If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. For further information, please see our Cookie Policy.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at support@getinkhub.com.

11. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

12. Do United States Residents Have Specific Privacy Rights?

In Short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have specific privacy rights.

17. Chrome Extension: InkHub KDP Sync

In Short: The InkHub KDP Sync Chrome extension downloads sales and royalty reports from your own logged-in Amazon KDP session and securely sends the report workbook to InkHub for server-side processing. Your Amazon username and password never leave your computer.

InkHub KDP Sync is an optional browser extension that automates the manual work of copying royalty and sales figures out of Amazon KDP Reports into InkHub. It runs in your browser and uses your existing logged-in Amazon session to request reports. It never sees, stores, or transmits your Amazon username or password.

When installed and paired with your InkHub account, the extension:

Requests report data from kdpreports.amazon.com (host permission: https://kdpreports.amazon.com/*) — it requests the same royalty and sales reports you could download yourself from your KDP Reports dashboard (per-title units, KENP pages read, and royalty dollars), using your browser's existing signed-in session. To make those requests, the extension reads and temporarily stores a KDP CSRF token from the KDP dashboard in Chrome's local extension storage. That token is used only to request your KDP reports and is not sent to InkHub.
Downloads the resulting report workbook from Amazon's own temporary, pre-signed storage links (host permission: https://*.s3.amazonaws.com/*) so it can send the workbook to InkHub for processing.
Securely sends the downloaded KDP report workbook to InkHub (host permission: https://www.getinkhub.com/*). InkHub parses the workbook on the server to extract the sales and royalty records that appear on your Sales dashboard alongside your other income sources. InkHub does not save the raw workbook to its database or file storage after processing.
Stores an InkHub extension authentication token and sync settings locally in the extension's own browser storage (permission: storage), so it stays connected to your InkHub account between browser sessions. Your one-time pairing code is exchanged for the authentication token and is not stored.
Runs sync automatically on a schedule (permission: alarms) roughly every 30 minutes, and resumes a multi-month history import in the background if you request one, so you don't have to keep a tab open.
Opens your InkHub Sales dashboard in a new tab when you click a sync notification (permission: tabs).
Shows a browser notification when new sales are detected (permission: notifications). This is purely informational and never invents a number — it only reports figures Amazon has actually published.

The extension does not collect analytics, does not share data with any third party other than InkHub, and does not access any website other than the three listed above. You can review exactly what it syncs at any time from your InkHub Sales dashboard, and you can unpair or remove the extension at any time from Chrome's extension manager or from Settings → KDP Chrome Extension in InkHub. Uninstalling the extension does not delete sales data already synced to your InkHub account; you can request deletion of that data the same way described in section 16 above.
