Hey, welcome to Deep Story World—where stories run wild and privacy actually matters. Here’s the lowdown on what info we grab, why, and what we do with it. Heads up: If you’re not cool with any of this, maybe skip the site? No hard feelings.

  1. 📥 What Info We Snag
    So, when you poke around here, we might collect:
  • Your name & email—if you drop them in a form or sign up for our newsletter.
  • Nerdy tech stuff—browser, device, what pages you click, when you show up. Just basic analytics stuff.
  • Cookies—more on those in a sec.

Chill, we don’t want your credit card or your social security number. Keep that to yourself.

  1. 🍪 Cookie Talk & Tracking Stuff
    Cookies help make the site less annoying and more useful. We use:
  • Session cookies (temporary, gone when you close your tab)
  • Analytics cookies (shout-out to Google Analytics)
  • Functional cookies (so the site remembers your dark mode obsession)

You can always turn off cookies in your browser if you want. Your call.

  1. 📊 Why We Even Bother With Your Data
    We use your info to:
  • Make our stories and recs better for you
  • Send you newsletters (if you asked for them)
  • See if the site’s broken or running smooth

We’re not selling your info to sketchy marketers. Promise.

  1. 📤 Who Sees Your Data (Spoiler: Barely Anyone)
    We only share your stuff if:
  • The law says we have to (ugh)
  • We need tech help (like our web host or analytics folks)
  • Someone’s safety or rights are at stake

Our hosting is GDPR-compliant, so you’re covered.

  1. 🌍 Outside Links
    Sometimes we’ll send you off to cool sites—author blogs, writing tools, free books, whatever. We can’t control what happens there. Check their privacy policies if you care.

Some places we might link:

  • Project Gutenberg (free books galore)
  • NaNoWriMo (writing madness)
  • OpenAI (robots that write stuff)
  1. 🔐 Keeping Your Data Safe
    We use the usual tech—encryption, firewalls, secure hosting. Nothing’s bulletproof online, but we do our best. Only people we trust get access.
  2. 📅 How Long We Keep Your Info
    We hang on to your info:
  • As long as we need it (so, not forever)
  • Until you bounce or ask us to delete it

  1. 🌐 Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA, Because Acronyms)
    If you’re in the EU or California, you can:
  • Ask what data we have on you
  • Tell us to delete or fix it
  • Unsubscribe from our emails anytime
  • File a complaint with your privacy overlords

Just email privacy@deepstoryworld.online and we’ll sort it out.
