Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FantasyRead ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our website, mobile apps, and related services ("the Service").

Data Controller: FantasyRead is the data controller responsible for your personal information as described in this policy.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect the following information when you create an account or use the Service:

• Email address
• Password (securely hashed)
• Uploaded books (EPUB files) stored on a private, per-user basis
• Your reading progress and metadata (current chapter, last opened date, etc.)
• Any feedback or messages you send us

2.2 AI Processing Data

To generate summaries and reading insights with The Sage, your book is processed in successive sections. Each section, along with a brief AI-generated summary of previous sections, may be sent to third-party AI inference providers solely to generate the next portion of your reading analysis. Only the minimum data necessary for each request is transmitted, and our providers do not store, retain, or use your content for model training.

2.3 Payment Information

If you subscribe to a Pro plan, payment information is processed by our payment partners (e.g., Stripe or Paddle). We do not store your full payment card details.

2.4 Automatically Collected Information

We may collect technical data such as:

• Device type and browser information
• IP address (for security and fraud prevention)
• Usage analytics (page visits, feature usage, error logs)

We use your information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Service
• Store your personal library and reading progress
• Generate AI-powered summaries and reading insights
• Authenticate your account and secure the Service
• Process subscription payments
• Respond to support requests
• Monitor service performance and detect abuse

Your uploaded books are stored privately and are accessible only to your account. We do not:

• Sell or distribute your books
• Allow other users to access your books
• Use your books for AI model training
• Index your books for search engines

Your books are processed only to provide reading features and AI assistance within your account.

5.1 Third-Party Service Providers

We may share limited data with third-party providers who help us operate the Service, including:

• AI inference providers (for generating The Sage's output)
• Cloud hosting providers (for secure file storage)
• Payment processors
• Analytics and diagnostics services

These providers may process your information only as necessary to deliver the Service and are contractually obligated to protect it.

5.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., court order, subpoena, or DMCA notice), but only to the extent required.

5.3 No Sale of User Data

We do not sell your personal information, your books, or your reading data.

California residents may contact us at the email address below with questions about how their rights apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

When generating AI outputs, we send only the data required for the specific request. Your book is processed in small segments, and only the segment currently being analyzed—together with short AI-generated summaries of earlier segments—is shared with our inference provider. Our AI providers:

• Do not train on your data
• Do not retain your book content after processing
• Do not use your content for their own purposes

Your data is used solely to deliver the requested reading assistance.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

• Encrypted storage for your books
• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS)
• Secure password hashing
• Access controls and authentication

However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EU, UK, California), you may have rights including:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction or deletion
• Download your uploaded books
• Object to certain processing
• Request data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@fantasyread.ai.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to operate the Service. If you delete your account:

• Your uploaded books are permanently deleted
• Your reading progress is removed
• Your personal data may be retained temporarily for legal, tax, or security purposes

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting contact@fantasyread.ai. Once your request is verified, your account and all uploaded books will be permanently deleted.

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

If changes materially affect how your data is used, we will notify you by email or through an in-app notice where appropriate.
