Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This section explains what information YoruVerse collects, why, and how it is used.

1. Information We Collect

• Account data — email, username, avatar, and preferences you provide when registering.
• Activity data — reading history, bookmarks, favorites, comments, ratings, and notifications.
• Technical data — browser type, device type, language, approximate region, and basic logs needed to keep the service running and to prevent abuse.

We collect only what is necessary to operate the platform and improve your experience.

2. Cookies & Analytics

YoruVerse uses cookies and similar local-storage technologies to keep you signed in, remember your theme and reading settings, and measure aggregate usage. Analytics data is processed in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual users. You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time — some features (such as staying signed in) may stop working if you do.

3. Account Information

Your email is used for authentication, account recovery, and important service notices. We will not sell your email or share it with third parties for marketing. You can edit your profile, change your password, or request account deletion from your settings page or by contacting support.

4. User-Generated Content

Comments, reviews, ratings, and forum posts are public by design. Anything you publish on YoruVerse can be read by other users and may appear in notifications or recommendation surfaces. Please do not include personal, sensitive, or confidential information in public posts.

5. Data Protection

Account data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Access to backend systems is limited to authorized maintainers. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we work to protect your information and to respond quickly if an incident is detected.

6. Third-Party Services

YoruVerse relies on third-party providers for hosting, authentication, storage, analytics, and content delivery. These providers process limited data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies. Chapter images and other media are typically loaded directly from third-party sources; the operators of those sources may collect their own logs based on your interactions with them.

7. Children’s Privacy

YoruVerse is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

8. Changes to This Page

We may update these Terms and this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users on the site.

9. Contact Information

Questions, feedback, takedown notices, or privacy requests can be sent to yoruverse6@gmail.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.
