This Privacy Policy describes how Fanprose (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use fanprose.com (the “Service”).
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect the information provided by your authentication method. If you sign in with Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. You may also create an account with an email address and password, in which case we store your email and a securely hashed password.
Profile Information
You may optionally provide a display name, bio, and profile image. This information is publicly visible on your profile.
Content You Create
We store the stories, chapters, comments, collections, and other content you create on the Service. Published content is publicly accessible. Drafts are visible only to you and any co-authors.
Usage Data
We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymized, aggregated usage data such as page views and performance metrics. This data does not personally identify you and is used solely to improve the Service.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication (session management) and user preferences (theme, reading display settings). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
2. How We Use Your Information

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We use third-party services (hosting, analytics, authentication) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
- Safety: We may share information when we believe it’s necessary to prevent harm, fraud, or violations of our Terms.
4. Data Retention
We retain your account and content data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Anonymized, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely.

6. Security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
