Privacy Policy

We collect the minimum data needed to publish your work and pay you, and we never sell it.

Last updated 1 January 2026

Data we collect

Account data: name, username, email, country and password hash (handled by our authentication provider).

Content data: stories, cover images, tags and engagement metrics.

Financial data: wallet transactions, payout method details and membership payment references.

Verification data: identity document images, document numbers and date of birth, submitted only when you request verification.

How we use it

To operate your account, review and publish stories, credit rewards, process payouts, prevent fraud and duplicate accounts, and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use your identity documents for anything other than verification and compliance.

Storage and security

Identity documents and review screenshots are stored in private storage buckets, accessible only through short-lived signed links to you and our compliance reviewers.

Database access is protected by row-level security so writers can only read their own financial and verification records.

Retention

Verification documents are retained only as long as payment and anti-fraud law requires, then deleted.

Published stories remain online unless you request removal; wallet records are retained for accounting purposes.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export or request deletion of your personal data by opening a support ticket.

You can withdraw consent for optional processing, such as marketing email, from your dashboard settings at any time.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for sign-in sessions and optional analytics cookies to understand which stories readers finish. You can decline optional cookies without losing functionality.
