Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The Reading Room (which includes LATRAME) is published by LATRAME, Calle Retorno 2, Número 16, Fraccionamiento Bahía, C.P. 77079, Chetumal, Quintana Roo, México. For any question about your data, write to renegrenon@gmail.com.

2. Data we collect

  • —Account : your email address, and depending on how you sign in, either a password (stored encrypted) or the identity provided by Google (name, email, profile photo) when you sign in with Google.
  • —Profile and LATRAME content : username, bio, avatar, characters, scenes, comments, and anything else you publish.
  • —Manuscripts and work in progress (The Foundry) : the text of your books, your notes, your Codex entries, and everything you write in The Foundry. This content is private by default: no one else can see it unless you publish or share it yourself.
  • —Purchases : your order history for books. Payment itself is processed by Stripe — we never receive or store your card number.
  • —Technical data : IP address and standard log information collected by our hosting provider, and strictly necessary cookies (see §6).

3. Why we use it

  • —Running the service : creating and securing your account, displaying your content, processing purchases and giving you access to your books.
  • —Contacting you : transactional emails (sign-in link, purchase confirmation, password reset) and, if you've opted in, updates about new releases.
  • —Security and moderation : preventing fraud and enforcing our Terms of Use and content policy.

4. What we do not do with your writing

Your writing is never used to train an artificial intelligence model — neither ours nor anyone else's. That commitment carries no exception and no expiry date. And today, no artificial intelligence is wired to your writing: it is sent to no AI provider, for any reason. Should an AI-powered feature ever appear, it would be optional, off by default, and nothing you write would leave unless you switched it on yourself. We would tell you before it went live, never after.

We do not sell your writing, we do not license it away, and we do not use it to create other works. You remain the sole rights holder in what you write. We hold only the technical rights strictly necessary to host your work, display it back to you, generate your epub and PDF files, and — if you choose to publish it — present it to readers.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. Some tasks are handled by processors acting on our behalf, strictly within what their service requires:

  • —Supabase — hosts our database and authentication (including password, magic-link, and Google sign-in).
  • —Stripe — processes payments for book purchases.
  • —Resend — sends transactional emails.
  • —Vercel — hosts the site and provides aggregated, privacy-friendly analytics (Vercel Analytics — no advertising cookies, no individual profiling).
  • —Google — only if you choose to sign in with a Google account: Google then processes the information needed for that authentication, under its own privacy policy.

These processors may host data outside your country of residence; they are contractually required to protect it.

6. Cookies

No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no profiling. Here is everything that is stored on your device:

  • —Sign-in session (Supabase) — required to keep you signed in from page to page. Without it the site cannot recognise you.
  • —Payment (Stripe) — set only from the moment you open the payment panel for a book, for transaction security and fraud prevention. As long as you buy nothing, Stripe is not loaded at all.
  • —Cookie choice — remembers your answer to the question below so you are not asked again on every visit.
  • —Arrival measurement (optional, 60 days) — remembers which door you came through (a link, a social post, a search engine) and on which page, so we can tell what makes the site known. It is only set if you accept, and declining removes no functionality.

The consent banner asks you about the last item only. You can change your mind at any time through the “Cookies” link at the bottom of the page: declining deletes the cookie already set. We also measure site traffic with Vercel Analytics, which writes nothing to your device and identifies no one individually.

7. How long we keep it

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time by writing to the address above; some purchase-related data may be kept longer where required by law (billing, accounting).

If we ever had to stop operating the service, you would be notified by email with enough time to export all of your books and data before anything is deleted.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including Mexico's federal data protection law for private parties, the GDPR for EU residents, or Quebec's Law 25), you have rights to access, correct, delete, and object to the use of your data. To exercise them, write to renegrenon@gmail.com.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data: encrypted connections (HTTPS), passwords hashed and never readable in plain text, a database encrypted at rest by our hosting provider, regular backups, and administrative access limited to what is strictly necessary to operate the service. Your card details never pass through our servers: they are handled directly by Stripe.

No security measure can be guaranteed absolute. You can export all of your work from The Foundry at any time, and we encourage you to keep a copy of your own.

10. Minimum age

LATRAME is restricted to people 16 or older (18 for explicit content) — see the Terms of Use — Content. We do not knowingly collect data about children under that age.

11. Changes

This policy may change over time. Significant changes will be flagged on the site before they take effect.
