Your reading stays yours.

Flip turns the links you save into a monthly magazine. To do that it has to store those links and read the pages behind them. This page says exactly what we keep, why, and who else touches it. The short version: we keep what the product needs, we don’t sell anything, and there are no ads.

What we collect

• Your email address, to sign you in and to tell you when an edition is ready. There is no password.
• The links you save, and what Flip extracts from them: the title, author, text, a summary and an image, so your edition still reads well if the original page changes.
• Your settings: delivery day, time zone, and an OpenRouter key if you add one. Keys are stored encrypted, and only the last four characters are ever shown back.
• Feedback you send through the form, and the email address you add to it, if any.
• Security records: sign-in codes (stored hashed and deleted within a day) and a one-way hash of your IP address, used only to stop abuse of sign-in and the feedback form.

Cookies

Flip sets one cookie: a signed session cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.

Who else handles it

We use a small number of providers to run Flip, each only for its job:

• Supabase hosts the database and stored images.
• Brevo sends sign-in and “your edition is ready” emails.
• OpenRouter passes the text of saved stories to an AI model to write summaries, sections, titles and intros. If you add your own key, your requests go through your OpenRouter account.
• Microsoft Azure hosts the server Flip runs on.

When Flip fetches a page or an image for you, it does so from its own server, so the publisher sees Flip, not you.

Sharing

Everything you save is private. If you choose to share an edition, anyone with its link can see the cover, intro, contents and each story’s summary, never the full text, your email or anything else in your account. Turn sharing off and the link stops working.

Keeping and deleting

We keep your saves and editions until you delete them. You can delete any saved link at any time, and it leaves your editions too. To delete your whole account and everything in it, use the feedback form, and we’ll do it within 30 days.
