- Identify trends in usage to improve automation capabilities.
We do not use AI conversation data for advertising or sell it to third parties.
Part 4: Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
Because Nuvbook serves both U.S. and international users, we operate under multiple privacy frameworks to ensure your data is handled lawfully and fairly.
A. Under U.S. Law
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) by avoiding deceptive or unfair practices in how we collect and use information.
Depending on the services offered by business owners using Nuvbook, the following laws may also apply:
- Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Nuvbook is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If such data is ever identified, it will be deleted immediately.
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): If a business owner provides financial or investment-related services (e.g., consulting, advising, etc) through Nuvbook, GLBA may apply. Nuvbook itself does not collect or use financial advice-related data, but we support business owners’ compliance by protecting client information and providing secure data handling tools. Business owners using Nuvbook for financial services remain responsible for their individual GLBA compliance.
- State Privacy Laws (New York, New Jersey, California, and others): Nuvbook complies with relevant state-level privacy frameworks such as:
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA): Users can request access to, deletion of, or correction of their data and can opt out of data sharing for targeted advertising.
- New York Privacy Act & New Jersey Data Privacy Law: Nuvbook follows best practices consistent with these laws, ensuring transparency, user consent, and reasonable data protection measures.
B. Under GDPR (for EU/EEA & UK users)
If you are located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, we process your data under the following lawful bases:
- Performance of a Contract: To provide the services you’ve requested.
- Legitimate Interests: To maintain and improve our platform in ways that don’t override your rights.
- Consent: For marketing emails or when collecting optional data (you can withdraw consent anytime).
- Legal Obligations: To comply with laws and regulatory requirements.
Users in these regions also have specific rights, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
C. EU Representative (GDPR Article 27)
As Nuvbook is established in the United States, we have designated an EU representative for GDPR purposes. EU users may contact our representative for any privacy-related inquiries at:
We will respond to all verified GDPR requests within 30 days as required by law.
Part 5: How We Share Data
We value your privacy and never sell your personal information.
However, in order to operate effectively, we share limited data with trusted third parties, always under strict confidentiality and data-protection agreements.
A. Service Providers & Processors
We use the following categories of third parties:
- Payment Processors – Stripe and PayPal: Used for subscription billing and secure payments. They handle all sensitive payment data directly and share only transaction confirmation details with us. Both Stripe and PayPal comply with PCI DSS and GDPR standards.
- Email Communication Providers – Mailgun: Used to send transactional messages such as booking confirmations, account verifications, and subscription receipts. Mailgun processes email metadata (sender, recipient, time) but not email content beyond delivery purposes.
- SMS Messaging Provider – Twilio: Used to deliver appointment reminders, booking confirmations, and other SMS/MMS communications to clients who have opted in to receive text messages. Twilio processes phone numbers and message content solely for delivery purposes. No mobile opt-in data is shared with Twilio for their own marketing. Twilio complies with TCPA, CTIA guidelines, and GDPR standards.
- Analytics and Performance Tools: Tools like Google Analytics or similar may track anonymized usage to help us understand how users interact with Nuvbook. Data is aggregated and never used to identify individuals.
- Legal & Compliance Entities: We may share information when required by law or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities, such as subpoenas or government inquiries.
B. Data Transfers
Because Nuvbook may process data in multiple regions, information can be transferred and stored in the United States or other countries.
When transferring data internationally, we rely on:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for EU users.
- Adequacy decisions by the European Commission (where applicable).
- Strong encryption and access controls during transmission and storage.
C. Business Changes
If Nuvbook undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will ensure your data remains protected under this Privacy Policy.
All users will be notified before any transfer of data ownership occurs.
Part 6: Data Security
We take data protection seriously and apply a mix of technical, necessary, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
A. Security Measures
Our security framework includes:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (via HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.
- Access Controls: Role-based permissions limit who can access user information internally.
- Regular Security Audits: Systems are tested for vulnerabilities and compliance with security best practices.
- Third-Party Certification: Stripe, PayPal, and Mailgun all hold recognized security certifications, including PCI DSS and ISO 27001 compliance.
- Data Minimization: We only retain data necessary for ongoing business and legal operations.
B. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as needed:
- Business accounts: Retained for the duration of the subscription and up to 30 days after cancellation, unless otherwise required for legal or tax purposes.
- Client bookings and interactions: Retained according to the business owner’s active relationship with their clients or applicable law.
- AI chat logs: Stored securely for up to 24 months to improve functionality, after which they are anonymized or deleted.
- Cookies and analytics data: Retained for 26 months or less, depending on browser settings.
You can request data deletion at any time by contacting our privacy team at privacy@nuvbook.com.
Part 7: Your Rights and Choices
We believe users deserve transparency and control over their data. Depending on your location and applicable law, you have certain rights regarding your personal information.
A. Rights Under U.S. Laws
If you reside in states such as California, New York, or New Jersey, you have the following rights (under CCPA/CPRA and similar frameworks):
- Right to Know: You can request details about the personal data we collect, including what categories of information we hold and why we use it.
- Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we maintain about you.
- Right to Delete: You may request that we delete your personal information, unless retention is required for legal or contractual reasons.
- Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to Opt-Out: You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your data for targeted advertising or analytics purposes. (Note: Nuvbook does not sell user data, but we still honour “Do Not Sell or Share My Data” requests to ensure full compliance.)
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality if you exercise your privacy rights.
Users can submit these requests by emailing privacy@nuvbook.com.
B. Rights Under GDPR (for EU/EEA and UK Users)
If you are an EU or UK user, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR:
- Right of Access: To know what data we hold about you.
- Right of Rectification: To correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

If you believe your rights under GDPR have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Part 8: Opt-Out Mechanisms and Marketing Choices
We understand that communication preferences vary. Here’s how you can manage your marketing and data preferences:
- Email Communications: You can unsubscribe from marketing or promotional emails by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any Nuvbook message or by updating your preferences in your account settings. Transactional emails (e.g., billing notices, password resets, and booking confirmations) are not optional as they’re necessary to provide the service.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: You can manage cookies through your browser settings or by using our in-site cookie consent manager. Essential cookies (for security and functionality) cannot be disabled, but analytics and advertising cookies can be turned off.
- Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Control (GPC): Nuvbook respects “Do Not Track” browser signals and Global Privacy Control opt-outs wherever required by law.
- SMS/Text Messages: You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from Nuvbook or a Provider on our platform. You will receive a single confirmation message and no further texts will be sent. Standard opt-out applies per sender — opting out from one Provider’s messages does not automatically opt you out from another Provider’s messages.
Part 9: Children’s Privacy
Nuvbook is not directed toward children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If a parent or guardian believes that their child’s information has been submitted to us, they should contact privacy@nuvbook.com immediately, and we will take prompt action to remove the data.
For users in the EU, our platform is not intended for individuals under 16 unless consent is provided by a parent or guardian.
Part 10: Policy Updates and Notifications
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect:
- Changes in our services or integrations,
- Evolving industry standards and best practices,
- Updates in applicable law, and/or
- Enhancements to data security or functionality.
When we make significant updates, we will:
- Notify users via email or an in-app alert before the changes take effect, and
- Update the Effective Date at the top of the policy.
Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Part 11: Contact Information
If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to privacy, data protection, or this policy, you can reach our Data Protection Team directly at:
418 Broadway STE 8805
Albany, NY, 12207, USA

Part 13: SMS Consent and Text Messaging Practices
How We Collect Consent to Receive Text Messages
Nuvbook collects explicit, affirmative opt-in consent before sending any SMS or MMS messages to end users. We never send text messages without a clear opt-in action from the recipient.
Consent is collected through one or more of the following methods:
- Web form opt-in: During account registration or appointment booking, users check a checkbox (unchecked by default) agreeing to receive SMS messages. The opt-in clearly states the message type, frequency, and how to opt out.
- In-person or written consent: Providers may collect consent at their place of business via paper form or verbal agreement, with records maintained accordingly.
- Double opt-in (where applicable): For certain message types, users may receive a confirmation text and must reply YES to activate messaging.
Consent collected for one Provider on the Nuvbook platform is not shared with other Providers or used for Nuvbook’s own marketing.
Types of Messages Sent
Users who opt in may receive:
- Appointment confirmations and reminders
- Booking updates, cancellations, and rescheduling notifications
- Follow-up communications related to their appointment or service
- Promotional messages from the specific Provider they opted into (where applicable)
How to Opt Out
Reply STOP to any text message at any time. You will receive one final confirmation and no further messages will be sent. To opt back in, reply START or re-enter consent at the point of booking.

No Sharing of SMS Data
Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in records are never sold, shared, rented, or transferred to third parties for their own marketing purposes. This data is used solely to deliver messages the recipient has consented to receive.
Nuvbook’s messaging infrastructure is powered by Twilio, Inc. Message delivery is subject to Twilio’s Privacy Policy (https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy) and Acceptable Use Policy (https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/aup).
Consent Records
Nuvbook maintains records of SMS consent, including:
