justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNovelcrafter is a web-based writing platform built for long-form fiction, with nothing to install and around 220,000 authors claimed on its homepage. It rests on three connected pillars. The manuscript side is a rich text editor with a focus mode, highlighters, a marker timeline, sections, and a configurable interface that includes a dyslexia-friendly font and a dark theme. The planning side offers several views of the same story: a Grid for dragging acts, chapters and scenes into order, a spreadsheet-like Matrix showing the whole book at once, a single-page Outline, scene labels, custom points of view and a scene archive. The third pillar, the \u003cb\u003eCodex\u003c\/b\u003e, is a wiki of characters, places and lore that tracks and links entries automatically and can be shared across every book in a series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAI runs on a strict \u003cb\u003ebring-your-own-key\u003c\/b\u003e model. The subscription buys the software, never the inference: no AI credits are included, and users connect their own account with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, Mistral AI or OpenRouter — or run models entirely on their own machine through LM Studio or Ollama. Once a provider is connected, the platform generates prose from scene beats, summarises scenes, extracts characters into the Codex and opens a Workshop Chat that sees the novel's context. The prompting system is fully customisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe publisher frames the product as an assistant rather than a substitute, describing a platform that helps you write rather than a one-click solution that writes for you. Beyond novels, the homepage claims non-fiction, poetry, short stories, screenplays, articles, newsletters, ad copy, fanfic, academic work and game design, and a dedicated genre guide covers romance and NSFW writing. Collaboration allows inviting readers, editors or co-authors, with teams reserved for the top tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the product sits a substantial free layer: structured courses, a monthly newsletter, a blog, documentation, an extensive FAQ, a Discord community, a YouTube channel with weekly office hours, a public roadmap and a status page. Manuscripts import from Word, Markdown or HTML and export back out. The publisher is a small bootstrapped German company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3

The publisher is established in Hamburg, Germany, so no Article 27 representative is required. The policy sets out the rights it recognises — access, rectification, erasure, objection, withdrawal of consent, portability and complaint to a supervisory authority — and commits to notifying users and the regulator of high-risk breaches. Website analytics run cookie-free through Fathom, with Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interest cited as the legal basis. Concrete gaps remain: no data processing agreement is published or offered on request, no data protection officer is named, and no transfer safeguards are mentioned for the several US subprocessors. All privacy requests go to a single generic support address.

Section 6 states that anything users create, write or upload remains their intellectual property, and it names content generated by the platform's AI features explicitly: the company claims no rights over it. Only material Novelcrafter itself supplies stays the company's. The privacy policy reinforces this by ruling out any use of user novels or creative content to train machine learning models. If a subscription lapses, work is not held hostage — the account falls back to read-only and everything can still be viewed and exported. Account deletion can be requested at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse rights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0\"\u003eUsers may reuse their own output freely and without asking permission. The terms grant Novelcrafter no licence over user content, AI-generated passages included, so a manuscript can be published, sold or adapted commercially with no clause to clear first. Export is available on every tier and stays open in read-only mode after a subscription ends. On the vendor's side, use of user data is narrow: account details and usage telemetry serve support, product improvement and analytics; prompt metadata such as type, length, vendor, model and token cost is measured, but the prompt text itself is never stored or logged; and nothing is sold, rented or traded to third parties for their own marketing purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eData retention \u0026amp; training\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eRetention summary\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v justify\"\u003eNovelcrafter keeps your data for as long as your account is active, or as long as needed to run the service. No fixed retention period is published — not for active accounts, and not for the window after deletion. You can request account deletion at any time, and the company says it will then take steps to remove your data unless the law or a legitimate business purpose requires keeping it. Text sent to AI models is treated differently and better: prompts and generated content are never stored or logged, only metadata such as prompt type, length, vendor, model and token cost. If you simply stop paying without deleting the account, nothing is erased — access drops to read-only, and you can still open and export everything you have written.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eTrains on customer data\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge ok\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M12 22s8-4 8-10V5l-8-3-8 3v7c0 6 8 10 8 10z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e No\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eSubprocessors disclosed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge ok\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"20 6 9 17 4 12\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eGDPR contact\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:support@novelcrafter.com\"\u003esupport@novelcrafter.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"trust-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHosting summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eNovelcrafter hosts on Amazon Web Services, with the privacy policy giving the location as EU (Frankfurt) or United States and naming the European Union as the primary data location. Section 6 states plainly that data may be stored in either the EU or the US, so transatlantic transfer is possible by design rather than by exception. Content delivery runs through Bunny CDN across EU and US nodes. The subprocessor table is published in full, with each service's location and purpose. European services include customer.io, Sentry, Linear, Slack, Tally.so and PostHog; United States services include Clerk, which stores user accounts and profile data, along with Zapier, dub.co, Canny.io, Intercom, Lemon Squeezy and the affiliate platform Tolt. Payments are handled by Paddle\/ProfitWell as merchant of record from the UK and EEA, having replaced Lemon Squeezy in April 2024. Analytics come from Fathom (EU\/US, cookie-free) and PostHog (EU, pseudonymised only). The company describes industry-standard encryption and secure protocols for traffic to user devices. No standard contractual clauses, adequacy mechanism or data processing agreement is mentioned anywhere for the US transfers, and no hosting certification is claimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eHosting countries\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"flag-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"flag\"\u003e🇩🇩 Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flag\"\u003e🇺🇸 United States\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eHosting regions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"flag-row\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flag\"\u003eEU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block watch\" id=\"watch\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eWatch-outs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThings to keep in mind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eRisks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Novelcrafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"brand-list\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);display:grid;gap:12px 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe headline price misleads by omission: with no AI credits included, a heavy user can spend more on model tokens than on the subscription itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaning on generation from scene beats can quietly erode the drafting habit — the tool is designed to assist, but nothing stops it being used to avoid writing altogether\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProse produced by a general-purpose model carries recognisable tics, which the help centre itself calls AI-isms, and readers increasingly spot them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour API key and your token spend sit with a third-party vendor whose terms Novelcrafter does not control, and whose stance on retention and training may differ sharply from Novelcrafter's own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData may be stored in the United States and passes through several US subprocessors with no transfer safeguards mentioned; an unpublished manuscript deserves a moment's thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo DPA, no named data protection officer and no security certification, which rules the tool out for organisations with formal compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA five-person bootstrapped company with no outside funding raises a durability question for a manuscript you intend to work on for years — export regularly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block\" id=\"setup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eSetup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Integrations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:15px;margin-bottom:10px\"\u003eTechnical difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eLow for the platform, moderate for the AI.

The help centre, free course catalogue, public roadmap, status page and dated changelog point to a team that ships and explains what it ships, and the company behind it is properly identified: a registered German UG in Hamburg, bootstrapped, five people, no outside investors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts defining choice is the \u003cb\u003ebring-your-own-key\u003c\/b\u003e model, and it cuts both ways. It buys real freedom — any major vendor, any OpenRouter model, or nothing but a local model on your own hardware — and keeps the subscription cheap. It also means the advertised price is not the price you pay. Scribe at 4 USD has no AI whatsoever, AI starts at 8 USD, and on top of either you fund your own tokens at a vendor you set up yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn data the posture is unusually favourable. The terms leave intellectual property with the author, AI output included; the privacy policy rules out training on user content and says prompts are never stored; subprocessors are published in full. The gaps are compliance gaps rather than intent gaps: no DPA, no named officer, no certification, no transfer safeguards mentioned for the several US services in the chain, and hosting that may land in the United States despite an EU-primary default. A publisher with a procurement checklist will notice; an individual novelist mostly will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor series writers, worldbuilders and authors who already know their way around a model provider, this is a strong fit at a low price. For anyone wanting AI included, a free tier, a native mobile app, an API or right-to-left support, it is not. Two things deserve a second look before committing: the terms have not been revised since September 2023, and support is a small team on European hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cta-row\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.novelcrafter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M15 3h6v6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 14 21 3\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M18 13v6a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V8a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Visit Novelcrafter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"novelcrafter UG (haftungsbeschränkt)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58113645674827,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/0905\/7099\/files\/official-novelcrafter-by-guidaio_44d27b81-55b2-4f86-8420-8496ba7ae9f3.png?v=1786543413","url":"https:\/\/guidaio.com\/products\/novelcrafter","provider":"Guidaio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
