This Privacy Policy describes how NovelStartup (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit novelstartup.com (the “Site”).
Information We Collect
Newsletter subscriptions. If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. This information is stored securely and is not currently used to send communications.
Standard technical logs. Like most websites, our infrastructure automatically records standard technical information with each visit, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used only in aggregate, to understand traffic patterns and maintain site security.
Bot and spam protection. Our newsletter signup form uses an industry-standard verification service to confirm submissions come from real visitors rather than automated bots.
How We Use Information
- Email addresses collected through our newsletter are used solely to build our subscriber list. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties.
- Aggregate, anonymized traffic data may be used to understand which articles are most read and to maintain the reliability of the Site.
Third-Party Services
This Site relies on reputable third-party infrastructure and security providers to operate reliably and securely, and our content is occasionally shared through our official social media channels. These providers may process limited technical data as part of delivering their services, governed by their own privacy practices.
Data Retention
Newsletter email addresses are retained until you request removal (see Contact below).
Your Rights
You may request that we delete your email address from our subscriber list at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
