1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit or use Avanitaxx Stories, why it is used, and the choices available to you. The information actually processed depends on which features you use and which services are enabled.
2. Information you provide
- Account and sign-in information: account identifiers and email address handled through the website's authentication service, including Google sign-in when selected.

Depending on the features used, the website may process reading progress, story and chapter views, saved-library entries, likes, follows, notification records, timestamps, and other interaction data needed to operate reader and community features.
4. Technical information and storage
The site uses browser storage and similar technologies for essential functions such as maintaining an authenticated session, remembering selected settings, and supporting site features. Hosting, authentication, database, content delivery, and security providers may process technical information such as IP address, device/browser information, request logs, and diagnostic data as part of delivering their services.
5. Analytics and advertising
The website currently includes Google Analytics 4 measurement code. Under the site's cookie preference control, the Google Analytics script is loaded only after you choose “Accept analytics.” If you decline optional analytics, the site does not intentionally load that analytics script through this consent feature. This setting is stored in your browser. If advertising services are added or enabled later, their cookies or similar technologies may be governed by updated notices and choices.
6. Why information is used
- To create and maintain accounts and provide requested features.
- To save reading progress, libraries, preferences, and notifications.
- To display published stories, profiles, comments, and community activity.
- To protect the website, moderate content, investigate reports, and prevent abuse.
- To understand site performance and usage where analytics consent is provided.
7. Public information and service providers
Published stories, public author profiles, and content you post in public areas may be visible to other visitors. Information may be processed by providers that support the website, including GitHub Pages for hosting, Supabase for authentication/database/storage functions, Google for sign-in or analytics when used, and content delivery libraries used by the site. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy documentation.
8. Retention and security
Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed to provide the relevant feature, maintain records, address security or abuse issues, resolve disputes, or meet applicable legal requirements. No website can guarantee absolute security; use a strong, unique password and do not share your credentials.
9. Your choices and requests
You may choose what optional profile information to provide, stop using the site, sign out, and change optional analytics consent through Cookie Settings on the main website. To request access, correction, or deletion of account-related information, use the Contact / Report feature on the main website and identify the account concerned. We may need to verify the request and may retain certain records where legally or operationally necessary.

The website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact the site through its Contact / Report feature.
11. Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when the website's features, providers, or legal obligations change. For privacy questions or requests, use Contact / Report on the main website.
