This Privacy Policy explains what personal data [HAIOMICS legal entity name] ("HAIOMICS", "we") processes when you use the HAIOMICS website, why, and the choices you have.
1. Data we collect
- Account data: username, email address, password (stored only as a salted hash), date of birth, and optionally a two-letter country code.
- Activity data: library (favourites), creators you follow, reading progress and history, ratings, comments, reports you submit.
- Creator data: display name, bio, profile image, creator application, and the comics you upload.
- Consent records: your cookie choices with a random identifier and timestamp (no IP address).
- Security logs: sign-in events and administrative audit records needed to protect the service.
We do not collect government ID documents, biometric data or precise location.
2. Why we use it (purposes and legal bases)
- Providing your account and the reading/publishing service — performance of a contract.
- Date of birth — to apply age-based content rules and our minimum account age. It is never shown publicly and is visible only to a restricted set of administrators.
- Security, fraud and abuse prevention, moderation — legitimate interests / legal obligations.
- Optional cookies — your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
3. Sharing
We use service providers to run HAIOMICS, such as hosting, database, email delivery and image storage ([e.g. Google Firebase Cloud Storage]). They process data on our instructions. The actual providers and data locations depend on how this deployment is configured: [list providers and regions]. We do not sell personal data.
4. International transfers
[Describe where data is stored and the safeguards used for transfers, e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses. Do not claim a storage region unless your infrastructure guarantees it.]
5. Retention
Account data is kept while your account is active. When you request deletion, we remove or anonymise your personal data, unpublish your comics pending review of any legal holds, and keep pseudonymous moderation/audit records as long as needed for safety and legal purposes. See docs/PRIVACY.md for the retention schedule.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA, or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you may have rights to access, export, correct and delete your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Use the Privacy centre or contact privacy@example.com. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
7. Children
HAIOMICS requires users to meet a minimum account age. Content is filtered on our servers by age rating. If you believe a child has provided data in breach of this policy, contact us.
