Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2025-12-06

Who we are: Synth Novels (“we”, “us”, or “our”)

We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control your information. If anything here conflicts with local law, we follow the law in your region (e.g., in Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles may apply).

1. Information we collect

Email address — when you sign up, subscribe to updates/newsletters, or contact us.
Basic usage data — standard server logs and analytics (e.g., pages viewed, device type, approximate location). We use this in aggregate to improve the product.
Voluntary information — anything you send us by email or forms (e.g., feedback).

2. How we use your information

To create and manage your account.
To send product updates and newsletters (you can unsubscribe at any time).
To respond to inquiries and provide support.
To improve and secure our services (debugging, analytics, preventing abuse).

3. Legal bases (where applicable)

Consent (e.g., marketing emails you opt into).
Contract (providing the service you requested).
Legitimate interests (product improvement, security) — balanced against your rights.

4. Sharing

We don’t sell your data. We may share minimal data with:

Service providers (e.g., email delivery, analytics, cloud hosting) under contracts that protect your data.
Legal or safety requirements (comply with law, prevent fraud, protect rights).

5. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see Your choices & rights).

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7. Your choices & rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or object to certain uses of your data. To exercise any rights, or to opt out of marketing, contact us at novelseekernews@gmail.com or use unsubscribe links in emails.

8. International transfers

If we transfer data across borders, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures).

9. Cookies & analytics

We use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality and analytics. You can control cookies in your browser settings. If we use third-party analytics, they process limited pseudonymous data to help us improve the product.
