Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Mark Book's Bookmarks family of apps — Mark Book's Recipes, Mark Book's Travels, and Mark Book's Music — and to this website (together, the "Services"), operated by Vendisa, Simon Vestdijkstraat 105, 3842 LK Harderwijk, the Netherlands ("we", "us", "our"). The Services are available to everyone.

1. Information we collect

• Account information you provide, such as your name and email address.
• Content you save, such as bookmarked recipes, destinations, tracks, and any notes or tags you add. This content is stored for your own personal use and is not shared with other users or made public.

• Crash and diagnostic data, collected through Google Firebase, to help us find and fix crashes in the apps.

2. How we use your information

• To sync your bookmarks across your devices.
• To respond to contact messages and bug reports.
• To understand usage patterns and diagnose crashes, so we can improve the apps.
• To keep the Services secure and prevent misuse.

3. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with a small number of service providers who process it on our behalf:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC) — website and app usage statistics.

• Atlassian Jira (Atlassian) — tracking and resolving bugs you report to us.

These providers only process data on our instructions and are bound by their own confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law.

4. Data retention

Usage statistics, crash/diagnostic data, and bug reports or contact messages are retained for 30 days. Content you save in the apps (recipes, destinations, tracks, notes) is retained for as long as your account remains active, and is deleted within a reasonable period after you delete your account or request deletion.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, use our contact form and select "Privacy request" as the topic. We respond within one month, as required by the GDPR. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

6. Cookies

This website uses cookies or local storage strictly necessary for it to function (for example, to remember your cookie choice). If you accept analytics cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, we also load Google Analytics to measure site usage. We do not use advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
