This Privacy Policy explains what information Storyvia (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit readstoryvia.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to a minimum: you can read every story on the Site without creating an account or giving us any personal information.

Information we collect

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting servers automatically record basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the date and time of your visit. These server logs are used to keep the Site running, secure and free of abuse.

We also count how many times each story is viewed so we can show a “Popular stories” list. This count is a single number stored per story and is not linked to you.

Information you give us

If you email us, for example to ask a question or share a story, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message.

Cookies

We do not use cookies to track readers. The Site does not run advertising or third-party analytics scripts for visitors. Cookies are only set if you log in to the WordPress admin area, which is used by our editors to manage the Site.

How we use information

  • To operate, maintain and protect the Site, including preventing spam and unauthorized access.
  • To reply to your emails and consider stories you send us.
  • To understand which stories are popular and improve what we publish.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Sharing information

We share information only with service providers who help us run the Site, such as our web hosting provider and backup service, and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Storyvia and its readers.

Data retention

Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and maintenance. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request. You can ask us to delete your messages at any time.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to how we use it. To make a request, email us at contact@readstoryvia.com.

Links to other websites

The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features such as analytics or advertising. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
