Privacy Policy for Boovie
Effective Date: October 9, 2026
Welcome to Boovie (getboovie.com). As an individual hobby project, Boovie aims to keep things simple and transparent. This policy explains what information is collected and how it is handled.
1. Information We Collect
Boovie does not require visitor accounts and does not offer personal profiles or saved lists.
Automatically Collected Data: Our infrastructure receives technical information needed to deliver the website. Operational and security logs may record your IP address, browser information, requested pages or resources, and timestamps.
Website Analytics: Boovie uses Plausible Analytics to understand overall website usage. Analytics may include pages visited, referral sources, approximate geographic location, browser, operating system, and device type. Visit and event records are used to produce aggregate statistics.
Plausible temporarily processes IP addresses and browser information to calculate statistics and daily visitor identifiers. It does not retain raw IP addresses or raw browser User-Agent strings in its analytics records, and it does not use cookies or persistent identifiers to track visitors across days or websites.
Information You Provide: If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, your message, and any information you choose to include. Copyright requests may include additional contact information needed to review the request.
2. How We Use Your Information
Information is used to:
* Provide, maintain, and improve Boovie. * Understand which pages visitors find useful. * Monitor server health and investigate errors. * Protect the website from malicious activity and abuse. * Respond to questions and handle requests.
We do not sell or rent personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers where necessary to operate the website and email services. It may also be disclosed where necessary to meet a legal requirement or address a security incident.
3. Cookies and Affiliate Links
Boovie does not use tracking cookies for its own analytics or advertising.
Appearance Preferences: Boovie stores your selected light or dark theme in your browser’s local storage solely to remember your appearance preference. This preference is not used to track browsing activity. You can remove it by clearing Boovie’s site data in your browser.
Affiliate Links: Boovie occasionally uses commissioned affiliate links for books. If you follow one and make a qualifying purchase, Boovie may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
The destination retailer may use cookies or other referral technologies under its own privacy policy. These technologies are controlled by the retailer. Boovie does not track your behavior across other websites.
4. Hosting and Third-Party Services
Boovie uses hosting and email service providers. These providers may process technical information necessary to deliver and secure their services.
Boovie uses Plausible Analytics for website statistics. Analytics data is managed by Boovie’s operator.
Additionally, Boovie relies on external sources, including Hardcover, Open Library, and The Movie Database (TMDB), for catalog data and artwork.
Content may be delivered through Boovie or external providers. Where your browser requests content directly from an external provider, that provider receives technical information necessary to fulfil the request.
Following an external link takes you to a website governed by its own privacy policy.
5. Security and Data Retention
Reasonable steps are taken to restrict access to information and protect the website.
* Operational and security logs are retained for up to 30 days. * Website analytics records are retained for up to 12 months. * Backup copies may retain deleted records for up to an additional 30 days before those backups expire.
Specific records relevant to an active security incident may be retained longer until the investigation is complete.
Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to respond to the request and resolve related matters.
No internet service can guarantee complete security against all threats.
6. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website or its information-handling practices change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
