Fictionite

Privacy policy

This policy describes how Fictionite (“we”, “us”) handles personal information when you use our websites and services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this policy alongside our Cookie policy.

1. Information we collect

We may collect:

  • Account data: such as email, username, display name, and authentication identifiers from our identity provider.
  • Content and activity: fiction, comments, messages, shelves, and similar data you submit or generate.
  • Technical data: IP address, device and browser type, approximate location, logs, and cookies or similar technologies as described in our Cookie policy.
  • Payment data: if you purchase something, processed by payment partners; we typically receive limited transaction metadata, not full card numbers.

2. How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • provide, secure, and improve the Service;
  • authenticate you and personalise your experience;
  • communicate about the Service, support, and policy changes;
  • detect abuse, fraud, and legal violations;
  • comply with law and enforce our terms;
  • analyse usage in aggregate or de-identified form.

3. Legal bases (where applicable)

If the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on bases such as contract, legitimate interests (e.g. security and product improvement), consent where required, and legal obligation.

4. Sharing

We may share information with service providers who process it on our instructions (hosting, email, analytics, payments, support). We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security. Business transfers (e.g. merger) may involve transferring data under appropriate safeguards.

5. Retention

We keep information as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, accounting, and dispute requirements. You may request deletion subject to exceptions we must keep by law.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or to withdraw consent. Contact us to exercise these rights. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

7. International transfers

We may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

8. Children

The Service is not directed at children under the age required for lawful consent in their region without parental involvement. If you believe we have collected a child’s data improperly, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. We will post the new version and revise the date below. Material changes may be announced by email or in-product notice where appropriate.

10. Contact

For privacy questions, use the details on our Contact page or the legal contact described in our Copyright & DMCA page for formal notices where applicable.
