Information we collect
AstraNovel is primarily a public editorial website. We may collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide when you contact us, such as your email address, message content, and related support details.
- Technical information such as IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and approximate location derived from technical signals.
- Usage information about how visitors interact with pages, links, ads, and related reading destinations.
- Cookie, analytics, advertising, and similar technology identifiers, where enabled by your browser or consent settings.
How we use information
We use information to operate AstraNovel, respond to user questions, maintain security, understand site performance, improve editorial navigation, measure referral quality, comply with legal obligations, and support advertising or analytics where permitted.
We do not use AstraNovel as a hidden data collection layer for unrelated products. Any link to a related reading platform or third-party destination should be understood as a separate destination with its own privacy practices.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
AstraNovel may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tags, advertising scripts, and similar technologies. These technologies help us understand traffic, protect the website, remember basic preferences, measure outbound clicks, and display or measure advertisements.
Third-party advertising and analytics providers, including Google services, may process identifiers, device data, page views, ad interactions, and similar information according to their own policies. You can manage cookies and tracking through your browser settings and available platform privacy controls.
Non-personal information
We may collect or create information that does not identify you as an individual, including aggregated traffic trends, device category statistics, page performance data, advertising measurement data, and general usage patterns.
We may use and share non-personal, aggregated, or de-identified information for website operation, analytics, advertising measurement, reporting, security, and service improvement.
Retention and deletion
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including support, security, analytics, legal compliance, accounting, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution.
You may request deletion or correction of information you provided by contacting support@astranovel.app. We may need to retain limited information when required for legal, tax, security, or legitimate business reasons.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.
To make a privacy request, contact us at support@astranovel.app. We may ask for information needed to verify and process your request.
Email communications
If you provide your email address, we may use it to respond to your request, send service-related notices, provide legally required communications, and, where permitted, send updates about AstraNovel or related services.
You may opt out of non-essential promotional messages where an opt-out method is provided. You may not be able to opt out of service-related, legal, security, or transactional communications.
Security and international processing
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
AstraNovel and its service providers or partners may process information in different jurisdictions. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.
Children
AstraNovel is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law for online privacy consent. If you believe a child has provided us personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates become effective when posted on this page, unless a later effective date is stated.
Applicable law and privacy compliance
We are committed to protecting personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, which may include the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486, Laws of Hong Kong), UK data protection laws, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, the GDPR where applicable, and other laws that may apply based on your location.
Your information will be collected, processed, and stored for purposes related to operating, securing, supporting, analyzing, and improving AstraNovel and related services. We do not disclose personal information to third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy, as required by law, or with appropriate consent where required.
Because AstraNovel and its support partners may operate internationally, some processing may occur in jurisdictions outside your location. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.
