1. Introduction
Welcome to werestory, a web fiction discovery and reading-preview service operated by Werestory Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (深圳时间万物信息科技有限公司) (“Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit our website, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to the werestory website, its story catalogue, browser-based preview reader, and communications sent to our official email address. It does not govern third-party websites or services that may be linked from our site.
3. Information we handle
- Information you provide: your name, email address, message content, and any other details you voluntarily include when contacting us.
- Basic technical data: our hosting or security providers may process IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, referring page, and error or security-event information needed to deliver and protect the site.
- Reader settings: font size, reading colour theme, search terms, and genre filters are processed within your browser while the page is open. The current website does not intentionally save these preferences after the page session ends.
werestory currently does not provide user accounts or payment processing and does not intentionally request sensitive personal information.
4. How and why we use information
We may process information to provide and secure the website, display requested content, diagnose technical problems, prevent misuse, respond to enquiries, maintain business records, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Where required, processing is based on your consent, performance of a requested service, our legitimate interests in operating a secure website, or compliance with law.
5. Cookies, local storage and analytics
The current version of werestory does not intentionally set advertising cookies, use third-party advertising pixels, or store reader preferences in browser local storage. Infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary technologies or server logs to operate and secure their services. If we later introduce analytics, accounts, persistent reading history, advertising, or similar features, we will update this Policy and provide any notices or choices required by law.
6. Disclosure of information
We may disclose limited information to hosting, infrastructure, security, and professional-service providers acting for us; to authorities when required by applicable law; to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of users or the service; or in connection with a corporate transaction. We do not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
7. International processing
Because the website can be accessed globally, service providers may process technical information in countries outside your own. Where applicable, we use reasonable contractual and organisational measures intended to protect information during such processing.
8. Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to communications, maintaining security logs, resolving disputes, and meeting legal requirements. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights to request information about our processing, access or correct your personal information, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, or receive portable data. California residents may also have applicable rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive information, and receive equal service. As we do not currently sell or share personal information for behavioural advertising, no sale or sharing opt-out is presently required for the site.
To make a request, email us using the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
10. Children’s privacy
The website is not directed to children under 13, or under any higher minimum age required by applicable local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the current site. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy as our website, practices, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted through an additional notice where appropriate.
