Privacy policy
Last updated: 15 November 2026. This policy covers our website and waitlist. We will update it before the app launches to cover app accounts in full, and we'll tell you about any important changes.
Who we are
Scroll to Shelf is a product of Nonstop Management and Consultation Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for personal data described here. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect now
- Waitlist and enquiries: if you email us, we keep your email address, your name if given, and your message.
- Website: our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes basic technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and secure the site.
What the app will collect (from launch)
- Account details: name and email from Google or Apple sign-in.
- Interest topics: topics derived from content you choose to share (via our browser extension, connected accounts or data imports). We keep topic tags and strengths, not the underlying posts, and we delete imported files after processing. We never read private messages.
- Your activity in the app: quiz answers, swipes, ratings, game results, reading log and feedback.
- Purchases: subscription status (payments are handled by Stripe, Apple or Google — we never see your full card details) and anonymous affiliate click data.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
- To provide recommendations and run your account — contract.
- To process interest data you choose to connect — consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- To send waitlist and launch updates — consent.
- To keep the service secure and improve it — legitimate interests.
- To meet tax and accounting duties — legal obligation.
Who we share it with
Trusted service providers that help us run Scroll to Shelf (for example hosting, database, email, payments and AI processing), under contracts that protect your data. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share your interests with advertisers. Where providers are outside the UK, we use approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long we keep it
Waitlist details: until you ask us to remove them, or 12 months after launch if you have not created an account. Account data: while your account is open, then deleted within 30 days of closure, except records we must keep by law.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask to access, correct, delete or move your data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent — email [email protected]. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
Scroll to Shelf is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
