This Privacy Policy explains how GiftedPages4U (giftedpages4u.com), operated by Bigupstar.com LLC, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use our website, account dashboards, digital library, ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, eCourses, original programming, films and video, Gifted Pages Stream on Roku, GiftedPages4U experiences on Alexa-enabled devices, other supported device experiences, independent-author services, and the GiftedPages4U Social Poster.
We do not sell personal information for money. We collect and use information primarily to operate accounts, provide purchased or authorized content, process payments, maintain playback and reading progress, support creators, protect the platform, and provide features you choose to use.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through or in connection with:
Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect the following categories of information:
If you apply to or participate in the independent-author program, we may collect additional information needed to review, publish, distribute, administer, and pay for participating works.
The payment provider used depends on where a transaction is initiated. Purchases and subscriptions initiated within Gifted Pages Stream on Roku are processed through Roku Pay where required by Roku. Roku may provide us with limited transaction, product, entitlement, subscription-status, cancellation, and customer/account information needed to fulfill and administer access. We do not receive or intentionally store your complete Roku payment-card number.
Purchases made directly through giftedpages4u.com may be processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe. We do not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers on our application servers. Payment processors may collect and process card, bank, billing, fraud-prevention, identity, and transaction information according to their own privacy notices and terms.
We may receive limited information from payment processors, such as transaction identifiers, payment status, customer identifiers, subscription information, last-four-digit card references where provided, and other information needed to fulfill purchases, manage subscriptions, issue refunds, prevent fraud, or reconcile payments.
When you use Gifted Pages Stream on Roku, GiftedPages4U through Alexa-enabled devices, connected televisions, voice assistants, or other supported devices, we may receive information necessary to authenticate your account, deliver content, remember progress, troubleshoot playback, and maintain account security.
Depending on the platform and features used, this may include:
Roku, Amazon/Alexa, and other device or platform providers may independently collect information under their own privacy policies. Their data practices are controlled by those companies, not by GiftedPages4U.
Where supported, we may store reading, listening, viewing, course, bookmark, and resume information in your account so that you can continue content across compatible devices.
For example, a listening position created on giftedpages4u.com may be associated with your account and made available to a supported Roku or Alexa experience. Likewise, progress generated on a supported device may be returned to GiftedPages4U so the account can resume from a similar position elsewhere.
GiftedPages4U Social Poster may allow authorized users to connect supported social-media accounts and publish promotional, book-related, blog-related, audiobook, video, or other approved media.
When you authorize a supported account through OAuth or a similar authorization process, we may receive account identifiers, limited profile information, permissions/scopes, authorization tokens, refresh tokens, token expiration information, and other data required to provide the requested integration.
We use those credentials only as reasonably necessary to operate authorized functionality, maintain the connection, troubleshoot the integration, and protect the account. The connected platform may independently collect and process information under its own terms and privacy policy.
We may use cookies, session storage, local storage, tokens, and similar technologies to:
Browser settings may allow you to limit or delete cookies, but doing so may prevent account, purchase, playback, or other functionality from working correctly.
We may use analytics and measurement technologies to understand how visitors use the website, which pages or features are used, how the site performs, and how we can improve the Services.
Analytics data may include page views, approximate device/browser details, referring pages, timestamps, general interaction information, and identifiers used by the applicable analytics provider.
We may use information described in this Policy to:
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary to operate the Services or comply with law:
Independent authors may receive reporting about the performance of their works, such as sales, access counts, listening or reading activity in aggregated or limited reporting form, refunds, and revenue calculations.
Unless needed for a specific transaction, support matter, legal requirement, or authorized feature, we do not intend to provide independent authors with a reader's complete payment-card information or account password. We may limit reader-identifying information in author reporting where practical and appropriate.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information appropriate to the nature of the information and the Services. These may include HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, authentication protections, token handling procedures, security logging, restricted administrative access, and service-provider security measures.
No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for using a strong password, protecting your login credentials, and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized account access.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing active accounts and content access, maintaining purchase and entitlement records, fulfilling author and creator obligations, processing payments and payouts, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, complying with legal and tax obligations, and enforcing agreements.
Retention periods may vary by data type. For example, playback progress may be retained while an account or related content access remains active, while transaction, tax, contractual, copyright, fraud, or payout records may need to be retained longer.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, technical, backup, and recordkeeping requirements.
Depending on the Services available to you and the law that applies where you live, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
Deleting an account may not require us to erase information we must retain for legitimate purposes such as completed transactions, tax and accounting records, fraud prevention, chargebacks, legal claims, author or licensing agreements, copyright records, security logs, or compliance obligations.
To submit a privacy request, contact support@giftedpages4u.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction. Depending on where you live and whether an applicable law applies to Bigupstar.com LLC, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or certain disclosures concerning personal information.
Where applicable law provides additional rights, we will process qualifying requests in accordance with that law. We may deny or limit a request where an applicable exception allows us to do so.
California law may provide qualifying consumers with additional rights concerning personal information, including rights to know or access certain information, request deletion or correction in qualifying circumstances, and receive information about certain disclosures or uses.
If Bigupstar.com LLC is subject to a particular California privacy requirement, we will honor applicable rights and provide any additional notices or opt-out mechanisms required by law.
GiftedPages4U is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 without the permissions required by applicable law.
If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 was collected in circumstances requiring parental consent and that consent was not obtained, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact support@giftedpages4u.com.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country. Where applicable law requires additional transfer safeguards or rights, we will address those requirements as appropriate.
Our Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, payment processors, social-media platforms, device providers, app stores, authentication providers, analytics providers, or other services.
This Privacy Policy does not control the independent privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy notices before using their services or connecting your accounts.
