This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics, no tracking and no external fonts or scripts. When you visit it, our hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and time of access in server logs. This is necessary to deliver the site securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not combine this data with other sources.

Our app "Better by Books Studio"

Better by Books Studio is an internal tool. Only Better by Books uses it, to manage its own accounts on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube through the platforms' official APIs. It is not offered to other users.

What data the app accesses

Basic information about our own accounts (username, profile ID), the videos we upload ourselves, and statistics and comments on our own posts.

Why

To upload and schedule our own videos, to read comments on our posts so we can reply to them, and to understand which videos work well.

Comments from viewers

When you comment on one of our posts, the platform shows us your public username and your comment. We use this only to read and reply to comments and to collect feedback and topic requests. We do not sell this data, do not use it for advertising and do not share it with third parties. It is stored only as long as needed for these purposes.

Access tokens

Access tokens for the platforms are stored only on our own computer and are never shared.

Social media platforms

When you visit our profiles on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn, the privacy policies of those platforms apply. We have no influence over the data they process.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase and restrict the processing of your data, the right to data portability and the right to object (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). Just email us. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, for example the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA).
