Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 16, 2026.

TropeCrush is a serialized romance reading app. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how to contact us about privacy requests.

Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information needed to run the reading experience: local reader identifiers, selected stories, chapter progress, paywall and funnel events, attribution parameters from links you open, and basic request information such as browser, device, IP address, pages viewed, and timestamps. If we later add account, restore-access, or email features, we will collect the email address and account information you choose to provide.

How We Use Information

We use this information to provide the app, remember reading context, understand whether the funnel works, debug and secure the service, prevent abuse, and prepare paid access flows. We do not use this information to make eligibility decisions about credit, employment, housing, insurance, or similar regulated matters.

Service Providers

We use service providers to host and operate TropeCrush, including Vercel for hosting, Supabase for database services, and Cloudflare for domain and DNS services. Stripe, analytics, and advertising destinations are not active in the current build. If we activate them, we will update this policy and any required consent controls before sending data to those services.

Cookies and Local Storage

TropeCrush may use browser storage to remember reading progress, attribution context, paywall state, and similar product state. You can clear browser storage in your browser settings, but the app may lose your saved reading context.

Selling or Sharing Data

We do not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Advertising destination delivery is blocked in this build.

Your Choices

You may contact us to ask for access, correction, deletion, or other privacy help. Some rights depend on your location and whether a specific privacy law applies to TropeCrush. We will still try to honor reasonable requests where feasible.

Children

TropeCrush is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not use the app or provide personal information. Some stories may include mature romantic themes.

Security and Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including HTTPS and managed infrastructure providers. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required for security, legal, accounting, or dispute reasons.
