Is My Book Private and Safe in the Writing Studio? What Gets Sent Where

Your book saves to your account, backups go to storage you choose, and AI tools send text to the provider whose key you connect.

Your book saves to your own account as you type. Backup copies and audiobook files go to storage you choose. The AI tools send your text only to the provider whose key you connected.

Where Is My Book Saved?

In the app's own database, tied to your account, shortly after you stop typing. Nothing is kept only in your browser. See Autosave and Save to Your Cloud.

Can I Lose My Writing?

Every save is also kept as a permanent snapshot, so a mistake isn't lost for good. If you need an earlier version, email contact@goldenbestseller.com. See Is My Book Safe? Versions and Backups.

Where Does My Backup Copy Go?

To storage you own: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or a folder on your computer. See How to Connect Cloud Storage.

Where Do My Audiobook Files Go?

Into your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, never onto our servers. The app creates a "Golden Bestseller Empire" folder, then a folder for that book, then an "Audio" folder.

What Do the AI Tools Send?

They use your own API key, and they send text to the provider you picked (Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT):

• ✦The Writing Coach sees your current section and its Writer's Prompt.
• ✦The Section Editor works on the section you're in.
• ✦The Final Editor sends your complete current draft each time you run it.

Each provider has its own privacy rules, so check your provider's policy if you want the details.

Who Can See My API Key?

Your key is saved with your account and used through the app's server to call the provider you picked. Never paste a secret key, a password or your whole private manuscript into the Course Coach chat or into an email. The Course Coach will never ask you for a key.

What If I Still Have a Privacy Question?

Email contact@goldenbestseller.com, and say what you'd like to know.
