Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when creating an account (name, email, role), profile information (bio, pen name, reading preferences), and usage data (applications, reviews, progress tracking).

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to operate the platform, connect authors with readers, send notifications about your applications and reviews, and improve our services. We do not sell your personal data.

Information Sharing

Your public profile (name/pen name, bio) is visible to other users. Email addresses are shared with authors only when they approve your ARC application. We do not share your information with third-party advertisers.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. ARC files are stored securely and are only accessible to approved readers.

Your Rights

You can update or delete your account at any time from your profile settings. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed, though anonymized review data may be retained.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. No third-party tracking cookies are used.
