Privacy Policy

1. Information We May Collect

Depending on the features you use, information may include:

• Account details, such as your name, email address and profile information.
• A platform-generated user ID used to identify your account.
• Reading activity, saved books, reading progress and chapter unlock records.
• Coin balances, transaction references, subscription status and payment records.
• Messages you send to customer support or the author team.
• Basic technical information needed to operate, secure and troubleshoot the service.

2. Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party providers. We may receive transaction references, payment status, amount and other information needed to verify purchases and maintain financial records.

Payment-card information should be handled by the relevant payment provider rather than stored directly in the website unless a compliant, properly secured payment arrangement explicitly supports it.

3. How Information May Be Used

• Create and manage reader accounts.
• Save reading progress and maintain library features.
• Process and verify payments, coins and subscriptions.
• Deliver account notifications and respond to support requests.
• Protect against fraud, unauthorised access and misuse.
• Maintain, troubleshoot and improve the service.
• Meet applicable legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The service may use necessary browser storage or similar technologies to remember settings, maintain sessions and support essential features. Analytics or advertising technologies, if introduced, should be disclosed and managed in accordance with applicable law and user choices.

5. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the platform, such as hosting, database, authentication, payment and customer-support providers. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect the rights, security and integrity of the service and its users.

We do not promise that information is never shared; sharing is limited to legitimate purposes and applicable legal requirements.

6. Storage and Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational safeguards for the platform's size and risks. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Access controls, database policies, secure server-side handling and protection of credentials are important parts of safeguarding data.

7. Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as necessary to provide the service, maintain account records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or meet legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by information type.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of or restriction of certain personal information. You may also be able to update your profile or request account assistance through customer support.

Some records may need to be retained for legal, security or financial reasons even when an account is closed.

9. Children's Privacy

The service is not intended to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. Where consent or other safeguards are required, those requirements must be met before the relevant information is collected.

10. International Processing

Our service providers may process information in locations different from your own. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, appropriate measures should be implemented.

11. Third-Party Services

External websites and payment providers operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies when using their services.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the platform develops or legal requirements change. The latest revision date will appear at the top of this page.
