We use a small number of companies to run Bookyard. Each one processes data only on our instructions and only for the purpose named below. This list is the complete set; if we add one, this page changes and its date changes with it.
Current sub-processors
| Provider | What it does | What it sees |
|---|---|---|
| OVHcloud | Hosts our servers, in the European Union. | The data described in the Privacy Policy, as our hosting provider. |
| Cloudflare | Stores and delivers cover photos, and runs our domain. | Cover photos, and connection details such as IP address. |

Book catalogues
To fill in a book's details, we look its ISBN or title up in public catalogues. Those lookups are made by our servers and carry no personal data.
What is not on this list, deliberately
- No analytics provider. There is no analytics SDK in the app and no analytics script on this website.
- No advertising network. Bookyard has no ads, so there is no ad network, attribution SDK or advertising identifier.
Where the data sits
Our database and cover photos are stored in the European Union. Some of the providers above operate internationally, including in the United States. Where personal data leaves the European Economic Area, we rely on the transfer mechanisms those providers offer, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
Changes to this list
We update this page before a new sub-processor starts processing your data. To be told when it changes, write to [email protected] and we will add you to the notice list.
