Mywebtales Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [DATE]

DRAFT — this page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. The categories below reflect what Mywebtales actually collects and must be verified against your real implementation (analytics SDKs, ad networks, payment processors) before publishing. Do not publish a privacy policy that describes data practices you don't actually follow — that's a bigger legal problem than an incomplete one.

  1. Who We Are

    This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Mywebtales website and app (the "Service"), operated by [COMPANY NAME] ("Mywebtales," "we," "us"). Questions can be directed to [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].

  2. Information We Collect

    Account information: email address, password (hashed), display name, and optionally date of birth if age-gating features require it.

    Usage information: reading history, library/favorites, genre preferences, likes and comments, Coin balance and transaction history, chapter unlocks, and membership status.

    Creator information: for authors using our Canvas or contracted-author program — profile bio, social links, and payout details (e.g., PayPal ID, legal name, address, tax ID) needed to process author earnings.

    Payment information: we do not store full card numbers ourselves — payments are processed by [PAYMENT PROCESSOR(S), e.g. Stripe/Paystack/Paddle], and we receive only transaction confirmations and amounts from them.

    Device and log information: IP address, device/browser type, and basic usage logs collected automatically for security and troubleshooting.

    Cookies: used for login sessions and, if applicable, analytics. [LIST ANY THIRD-PARTY ANALYTICS/AD SDKS ACTUALLY IN USE, e.g. Google Analytics.]

  3. How We Use Information

    To operate your account and the reading/creator experience, process Coin purchases and author payouts, respond to support requests, secure the Service against fraud and abuse, and — where applicable — send you service or marketing emails you can opt out of.

  4. How We Share Information

    We share information with: payment processors (to complete purchases), hosting/infrastructure providers (to run the Service), and law enforcement or other parties when required by law. We do not sell your personal information. [CONFIRM AND ADJUST IF YOU RUN ADS OR USE AN AD NETWORK — THAT CHANGES THIS SECTION.]

  5. Data Retention

    We keep your information for as long as your account is active, plus any additional period required by law (e.g., tax records for creator payouts) or needed to resolve disputes.

  6. Your Rights

    Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information. You can update most account details directly from your Account settings, or contact us at [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL] to make a request.

  7. Account Deletion

    You may delete your account at any time from Settings. If you have stories published on Canvas, you must remove or transfer them first. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile and reading history; some transaction and tax records tied to creator payouts may be retained as required by law.

  8. Children's Privacy

    The Service is not directed at children under [AGE, e.g. 13]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us information without consent, contact us at [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL] and we will take appropriate action.

  9. Security

    We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

  10. Links to Other Sites

    The Service may link to third-party sites (e.g., social media, payment providers). This policy doesn't cover their practices — check their own privacy policies.

  11. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the date above and, for material changes, notify you in-app or by email.

  12. Contact Us

    Questions about this policy or your data can be sent to [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].
