READING AND ACCOUNT ACTIVITY The platform may store information such as your library, reading progress, chapter unlocks, coin transactions, follows, ratings, and other account activity necessary to provide site features. PAYMENTS Real-money payments may be processed by third-party payment providers such as PayPal. Xianhua Tales should not request or store your full payment-card number when the payment provider handles those details. The platform may receive and retain transaction identifiers, payment status, amount, currency, payer-related information made available by the provider, and other information required for fulfillment, accounting, fraud prevention, support, and disputes. TECHNICAL INFORMATION The service may process standard technical information such as IP address, browser/device information, session data, timestamps, and server logs for security, troubleshooting, and service operation. HOW INFORMATION IS USED Information may be used to authenticate users, provide requested features, maintain wallets and transaction histories, process chapter access, communicate with users, moderate content, investigate reports, prevent fraud, administer translator payouts, improve the service, and comply with legal obligations. SHARING Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the platform, process payments, host the service, deliver email, or comply with lawful requests. Xianhua Tales does not need to expose private account information publicly merely because a user has an account. RETENTION AND SECURITY Information may be retained for as long as reasonably needed for the service, accounting, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and legitimate operational purposes. Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to protect stored information. YOUR REQUESTS Users may contact Xianhua Tales regarding privacy questions or applicable data-access, correction, or deletion requests.
