Privacy Policy
lycée books is a parent-to-parent used-book exchange for families of the Lycée Français de Los Angeles. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@lyceebooks.com.
What we collect
- Account information — your email address, and optionally your name and phone number if you add them.
- Grade information — the grades and sections you enter to build a book list for your child. You enter this as the parent or guardian; we don’t collect information directly from children.
- Listings — the book details and photos you upload when selling.
- Orders & payments — your order history. Card payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.
- Payout details — if you provide payout information, it is encrypted at rest.
- Usage data — anonymous analytics (only if you accept the cookie banner), basic cookieless traffic counts, and error logs that help us keep the site working.
How we use it
To run the exchange: build your book list, show what other families have available, process orders, coordinate pickup at school, send you transactional emails (confirmations, receipts, account links), and improve the site.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell your data. We share it only with the service providers that make the exchange work:
- Supabase — database, authentication, file storage.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Vercel — hosting and cookieless traffic analytics.
- PostHog — anonymous product analytics, only if you accept the cookie banner.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your cart. Analytics that use a cookie run only after you accept them in the banner — you can decline and the site still works. Basic traffic counts via Vercel are cookieless.
Data retention
We keep your information while your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time.
Your choices
You can view and update your profile in your account, decline analytics cookies, and request access to or deletion of your data by emailing hello@lyceebooks.com.
Children’s privacy
lycée books is intended for parents and guardians, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Grade and section details are entered by the adult account holder.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit, payout details are encrypted at rest, and database access is restricted by row-level security. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Changes
We may update this policy as the service evolves. We’ll change the date above when we do. Questions? Email hello@lyceebooks.com.
