Privacy Policy

DRAFT — placeholder text. Review and finalize before launch (a policy generator such as Termly/iubenda, or a quick legal review, is recommended — especially the subscription/refund terms). Replace bracketed […] items, and set the shared {tokens} (entity, contact email, jurisdiction, refund window) in Legal settings.

This Privacy Policy explains how Kyle Sands ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use kylesands.com and the community forum.

Information we collect

• Email address — when you join the newsletter or create an account.
• Account details — username, email, and security settings (e.g. two-factor).
• Subscription & payment data — handled by our payment provider, Paddle (our Merchant of Record). We do not store your card details.
• Forum activity — posts and profile data in the community forum (phpBB).
• Usage data & cookies — basic analytics and cookies needed to run the site and keep you signed in.

How we use it

To provide the site and serial, send the emails you opt into (new chapters, newsletter), process subscriptions, run the community, and improve the experience.

Sharing

We share data only with providers that operate the service: Paddle (billing), Resend (email delivery), and analytics — each under their own terms. We don't sell your personal data.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR/CCPA), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and you can unsubscribe from optional emails anytime. Contact [contact email].

Data retention & children

We keep data as long as your account/subscription is active or as required by law. The site is not intended for children under [13/16].

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be noted here with a new date.
