Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 27, 2026

What information we collect

• Account information: name or display name, email address, and login identifiers.
• Content and activity: books you view, reading progress, bookmarks, likes, comments, ratings, and any text you submit.
• Device and usage data: browser type, device type, operating system, IP address, pages viewed, and actions taken.
• Payment information (if applicable): we may record purchase status and transaction identifiers. Payment card details are handled by the payment provider, not stored by Readers Cut.

How we use information

• Provide and operate the Service, including login, reading access, and progress syncing.
• Personalize your experience, such as showing your library and recent activity.
• Maintain safety and integrity, including fraud prevention and abuse detection.
• Communicate with you about service updates, security notices, and support requests.

Cookies and similar technologies

Readers Cut may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Push notifications

If you enable notifications, we may send you alerts such as chapter drops, new books, and account related notices. You can turn notifications off at any time in your browser or device settings.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in these situations:

• Service providers: hosting, analytics, email delivery, and notification services that process data for us.
• Legal and safety: when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business changes: a merger, acquisition, or asset sale may transfer information as part of that transaction.
• With your direction: if you choose to share content publicly or connect other services.

Third party links and embedded content

The Service may include links to third party sites or embedded media. Third parties have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for their policies.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business purposes such as security, accounting, and compliance. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de identify it when practical.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

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 provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Your choices and rights

• Access and updates: you can update some information through your account settings.
• Deletion: you may request deletion of your account and associated information, subject to legal and operational requirements.
• Opt out: you may opt out of marketing emails where offered. Transactional and security notices may still be sent.

International users

If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the effective date and may provide additional notice when required.
