Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. What we collect
When you register we store your name, username and email address. When you use the platform we store the content you create — stories, comments, stars, bookmarks and follows — and basic reading activity, such as which stories you opened, so that read credits and recommendations work.
2. How we use it
Your data is used to run the platform: signing you in, displaying your profile and stories, counting reads and stars, ranking stories, and remembering your preferences such as theme and saved stories. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
3. What is public
Your profile (name, username, bio and avatar), your published stories, your comments, and your star and follower counts are visible to other readers. Your email address, bookmarks and reading history are never public.
4. Cookies and storage
We use essential cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in and remember preferences like light or dark mode. We do not use advertising trackers.
5. Third-party services
Antarvani runs on Lovable Cloud for hosting, database and authentication, and offers sign-in with Google if you choose it. These providers process data only as needed to deliver the service.
6. Your rights
You may access, correct or delete your personal data at any time. Deleting your account removes your profile and personal data; published stories can be deleted by you beforehand or on request. To exercise any of these rights, contact us with 'Privacy' in the subject line.
7. Retention and security
We keep your data only while your account is active and apply industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections and row-level access controls on our database.
