JuniperBooks Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 16, 2026 Version: 1.0 Contact: juniper@juniperbooks.ai
This Privacy Policy explains how JuniperBooks collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use our website, application, and related services.
JuniperBooks is currently an unincorporated project. In this Privacy Policy, "JuniperBooks," "we," "us," and "our" mean the individual or individuals operating JuniperBooks.
JuniperBooks is intended only for U.S. small businesses and authorized users who are at least 18 years old.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to JuniperBooks, including our website, app, signup flow, login flow, business settings, transaction tools, import tools, reports, support communications, and related services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that are not controlled by JuniperBooks.
If you use JuniperBooks on behalf of a business, the business may control certain information in the workspace. The business owner or authorized administrators may be able to access, manage, export, delete, or restrict information in that business workspace.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand usage patterns, improve product quality, evaluate categories, improve reliability, and develop features.
AI features are not used to make eligibility decisions about credit, employment, housing, insurance, or similar legal rights. AI features are intended to help you organize and review business bookkeeping information.
6. How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information in the following ways.
Service Providers
We use service providers to operate and support JuniperBooks. Current providers include:
- Vercel for hosting and deployment.
- Supabase for database and authentication.
- OpenAI for AI processing.
- Brevo for email delivery.
- Cloudflare Turnstile for security and bot detection.
We may also use other service providers for analytics, logging, diagnostics, monitoring, infrastructure, security, support, and related operations. Service providers may process information only as needed to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by their agreements and applicable law.
Business Workspace Users
Information in a business workspace may be visible to owners, members, and other authorized users in that workspace, depending on their roles and permissions.
For example, owners may be able to view and manage business details, uploaded statements, transactions, categories, reports, notes, members, and invites.
User-Directed Disclosures
You may choose to export information, download reports, share files, send reports to a CPA or advisor, or otherwise disclose information outside JuniperBooks. We are not responsible for how third parties handle information after you share it with them.
Legal, Safety, and Enforcement
We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with law, legal process, or government requests.
- Enforce our Terms of Service.
- Detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical issues.
- Protect the rights, property, or safety of JuniperBooks, users, businesses, or third parties.
- Defend against legal claims.
Business Transfers
If JuniperBooks is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, transfer of the Service, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction.
With Your Consent
We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or give us consent.
7. No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information.
We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If we later use advertising technologies or other practices that are considered a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable privacy law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide required choices.
8. Cookies, Analytics, and Security Tools
We may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Authentication.
- Session management.
- Security.
- Bot detection.
- Fraud prevention.
- Preferences.
- Performance monitoring.
- Analytics.
- Error detection.
- Product improvement.
Because our tools may change during early access, this Privacy Policy describes categories of tools rather than every individual tool. We will update this Privacy Policy if our practices materially change.
Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. There is no single accepted standard for how to respond to those signals, so we may not respond to them. Where required by law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals for sale or sharing, but we do not currently sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
9. Marketing Emails
We may send product updates, onboarding messages, early access announcements, educational content, surveys, and feedback requests.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at juniper@juniperbooks.ai.
Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send service, security, legal, account, invite, password reset, and transactional messages.
10. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, operate our business, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and improve the Service.
If you request deletion, we will delete or de-identify account and business information within a reasonable period, unless we need to retain certain information for legal, security, backup, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legitimate business purposes.
Backups and archival copies may persist for a limited period before they are deleted or overwritten according to our normal backup practices.
If a member requests deletion of information that belongs to a business workspace, we may need direction from the workspace owner before deleting business records.
11. Security
We use commercially reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure, using strong passwords, controlling access to your business workspace, and removing users who no longer need access.
If you believe your account or workspace has been compromised, contact us at juniper@juniperbooks.ai.
12. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to:
- Request access to personal information.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of personal information.
- Request a copy of personal information.
- Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information.
- Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Appeal certain privacy decisions, where required by law.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
Even where we are not legally required to provide a specific right, we may choose to honor reasonable requests when practical and appropriate.
To make a request, contact us at juniper@juniperbooks.ai. We may need to verify your identity and authority before fulfilling a request. If you make a request on behalf of a business, we may need to verify that you are authorized to act for that business.
If your information is part of a business workspace, some requests may need to be handled through the workspace owner or administrator.
13. Sensitive Personal Information
Business tax IDs, financial transaction data, and certain account information may be sensitive depending on the context and applicable law.
We use sensitive personal information only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, debug, maintain, and improve the Service, comply with law, and protect against fraud, abuse, and security incidents. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you for advertising.
14. De-Identified and Aggregated Information
We may create and use de-identified or aggregated information for analytics, benchmarking, product improvement, security, research, and business purposes.
We will not attempt to re-identify de-identified information except as permitted by law, such as to test whether de-identification works.
15. Children
JuniperBooks is not intended for children or anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided information to JuniperBooks, contact us at juniper@juniperbooks.ai so we can take appropriate action.
16. U.S. Only
JuniperBooks is intended only for users and businesses located in the United States.
If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with applicable law. Information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate.
17. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites or services.
Your use of third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the updated Privacy Policy, updating the effective date, sending an email, showing an in-app notice, or using another reasonable method.
Your continued use of the Service after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
