This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services, particularly the uploading, reading, and sharing of fictional erotic stories.

By using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. This Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Collected Automatically When you visit the Platform (even without an account):

2.4 Age Verification Data We may collect date of birth or use third-party age-verification services to confirm you are 18+.

3. How We Use Your Information We use your information to provide the Platform, personalize stories, moderate content (including reports), process payments, communicate with you, analyze usage, prevent illegal content, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR – EU/EEA/UK Users) For users in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, we process personal data only on the following lawful bases under the GDPR:

  • Performance of a contract (e.g., providing your account and hosting your stories)
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., improving the Platform, moderation, fraud prevention, analytics)
  • Consent (e.g., marketing emails, certain cookies, optional profile data) – you can withdraw consent at any time
  • Legal obligations (e.g., responding to law enforcement, age verification, DSA compliance where applicable)

5. How We Share Your Information We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • Service providers (hosting, analytics, payment processors, moderation tools) under strict agreements
  • Law enforcement or authorities when legally required
  • In the event of a business transfer

Your stories and username are publicly visible. Your email address is never shared for marketing without explicit consent.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies We use cookies for essential functions, analytics, and personalization. You can manage your preferences via the cookie banner. Non-essential cookies require your consent (in line with GDPR and ePrivacy rules). For details see our separate Cookie Notice in the footer.

7. Data Security We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. However, no system is 100 % secure. Keep your password confidential.

8. Data Retention We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information (such as email, username, profile data). However, user-generated content such as your stories may be retained in anonymized form (without any personal identifiers) to preserve the integrity of the Platform and the archive of fictional erotic literature.

9. Children’s Privacy The Platform is strictly 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we discover a user under 18, we immediately delete the account and all associated personal data.
