Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account or use features of MS Novels, we may collect information such as your username, email address, password credentials, profile information, comments, reviews, forum posts, and other information you voluntarily provide.

2. How We Use Information

Information may be used to operate and maintain the website, authenticate users, provide community features, display profiles, process author-support activity, prevent abuse, and improve the service.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

MS Novels may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication, functionality, security, analytics, and advertising. Your browser may allow you to control or disable cookies, although some website functionality may not work correctly without them.

4. Third-Party Advertising

MS Novels may use third-party advertising services, including Monetag. These services may use cookies, web beacons, scripts, device identifiers, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve, personalize, measure, or limit advertisements.

Third-party advertising providers operate under their own privacy policies. Information collected through advertising technologies may be processed according to those providers' policies and applicable laws.

5. Account and Security Information

Passwords are stored using password hashing rather than being stored as plain-text passwords. We take reasonable measures to protect information associated with accounts, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Payments and Donations

If you voluntarily support an author using a payment method provided on the website, information submitted with the transaction may be stored to identify and manage the donation. Payment details entered directly into third-party payment services are subject to those services' privacy policies.

7. Data Retention

We may retain account information and user-generated content for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, comply with applicable obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security.

8. Children's Privacy

MS Novels is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child's information has been submitted improperly, appropriate steps may be taken to remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, advertising providers, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will always be published on this page.
