Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password. Authors additionally provide book titles, descriptions, cover images, and Amazon listing URLs to create quests.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the platform — pages visited, quests claimed, reviews submitted, and features used. This helps us improve the experience for everyone.

Payment Information

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment details are processed securely by our third-party payment processor. We never store your full card number on our servers.

Communications

Any messages you send us through feedback forms, support requests, or complaint submissions are stored to help us resolve your issue and improve the platform.

Platform Operations

We use your data to run the quest system — matching readers with books, verifying review submissions, distributing Chi rewards, and managing your account.

Communication

We send transactional emails (quest updates, review status, Chi rewards) and, with your consent, occasional product announcements. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time.

Safety & Integrity

We analyse patterns to detect fake reviews, bot activity, and policy violations. This protects both authors and readers from abuse of the platform.

Improvements

Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand what's working and what isn't, so we can ship features that genuinely help authors get more reviews.
