Privacy Policy

• Account details you provide, such as your name and email address.
• Purchase and order information supplied by our payment provider.
• Reading progress and library activity used to provide account features.
• Your email address and consent if you join the Melanin Kronicles update list.
• Basic device, browser, security, and site-usage information.
• Messages and support information you choose to send us.
• Live-room information, such as an optional display name, private message, session, and message time when you contact the creator during an active live.
• Temporary connection and signaling data needed to connect the creator's live audio, video, or screen share to active viewers.

We use information to operate the site, provide purchased content, remember reading progress, process and support orders, prevent misuse, improve the reader experience, moderate live-room messages, protect rights and safety, comply with law, communicate about your account or purchases, and send chapter or art updates when you have chosen to join the update list.

Live-room messages are sent privately to the creator and are not displayed as a public chat. They may be reviewed for safety, support, fraud prevention, and legal obligations, and retained only as reasonably necessary for those purposes. The live feature is designed to transmit selected camera, microphone, and screen content to active viewers; it does not provide an on-site recording archive through the current live-room feature. Do not place sensitive information in a message or on a shared screen.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your complete payment-card number. We may share only the information needed with hosting, authentication, payment, analytics, security, and fulfillment providers that help us operate the service.

The site and its providers may use cookies or similar storage for sign-in, security, saved reading progress, preferences, and basic performance measurement. You can manage cookies through your browser, although some account features may stop working.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including transaction, tax, security, and legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

You may request access, correction, or deletion of eligible personal information using the support information on your receipt or account. Some records may be retained where required for legal, fraud-prevention, accounting, or dispute purposes. You may also unsubscribe from optional updates at any time.

This service is not directed to children under 13, and the live room is intended for audiences 17+ because the comics may include mature themes. If we learn that we received personal information from a child under 13, we will review the request and delete it where required by applicable law.

We may update this policy as the service changes. A revised effective date will appear at the top of this page.
