Folio Studio only collects data necessary for the service to function:

• –Email address and full name (at registration)
• –Content of the projects and chapters you create and import
• –Payment data (processed by Stripe; Folio Studio never stores your bank details)
• –Technical data: IP address, browser type, access logs

Your data is used exclusively to:

• –Authenticate you and secure your account
• –Store and display your projects and chapters
• –Generate your exports (epub, PDF, docx)
• –Manage your Pro subscription via Stripe
• –Send you service-related emails (confirmation, payment receipt)

We never sell, rent or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.

Folio Studio uses the following services:

• –Supabase (database and authentication) · EU hosting
• –Vercel (application hosting) · EU hosting available
• –Stripe (payments) · PCI DSS compliant
• –Resend (transactional emails)

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all your data will be deleted within 30 days, unless required by law.

To benefit from student pricing on student.foliostudio.app, you may submit a proof of enrollment. This processing is voluntary and only affects access to the reduced pricing.

• –Data collected: photo (or PDF) of your student card or enrollment certificate, and the name of your institution.
• –Purpose: verify your student status to apply the reduced pricing. No other use. No cross-referencing with other data.
• –Document retention: the card file is permanently deleted from our Supabase storage as soon as the validation or refusal decision is made(typically within 48 business hours). Only the status ("verified until {date}") and an internal log of the decision are kept for the duration of validity (1 year).
• –Access: only the Folio Studio administrator reviews the document, via an internal backoffice. No sharing with any third party, no use to train an AI model.
• –Recommendation: you can mask your student number and ID photo before upload. Only the name of your institution and the expiration date are necessary for verification.
• –Right to object: you can opt out of verification at any time (you keep access to the free plan) or request early deletion of the document if it is still in the queue, by writing to contact@foliostudio.app.
