Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

What we collect

  • Account information — if you add an email address and password, we store them to let you sign in on other devices. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes.
  • Device identifier — on your first visit we create a guest account tied to a first-party cookie so you can read without signing up.
  • Reading activity — which stories and chapters you open, and your reading history, so we can show your progress and improve recommendations.
  • Technical data — IP address, browser and device type, and referral parameters such as fbclid or utm_* that tell us which advertisement brought you here.

How we use it

To operate the service (accounts, reading progress, your history), to process subscriptions, to measure and improve our advertising, and to keep the service secure.

Cookies

We use first-party cookies to keep you signed in and to remember which ad or campaign brought you here. We also use Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API to measure whether our advertising works. Where we send information to Meta or Google Analytics, your email address is hashed (SHA-256) before it leaves our servers.

Sharing

We share data only with the processors that run the service — hosting, database and analytics providers, the advertising platforms we buy traffic from, and our payment processor for subscription billing. We do not sell your personal information.

Your rights

You can ask us to access or delete your data, or to stop using it for personalised advertising, by contacting us via the Help center. You can also clear your cookies at any time, which removes the link between this browser and your guest account.

Children

The service is not intended for anyone under 18 (or the age of majority where you live). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
