Cookies & Similar Technologies
Decent Novels may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly, remember certain preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, and support security.
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used on the website. Your browser may allow you to control, block, or delete cookies, although disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.
Analytics & Third-Party Services
Decent Novels may use analytics, hosting, security, email, payment, publishing, advertising, or other third-party services as the website develops.
These services may process certain information according to the function they provide. The information they receive may include technical, usage, or contact information where necessary for their services.
Third-party services may have their own privacy policies, terms, and data practices. Decent Novels does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties and recommends reviewing their applicable policies.
External Links
The Decent Novels website may contain links to external websites, platforms, retailers, or services. Visiting an external website takes you outside the Decent Novels website and may be subject to that website's own privacy policy and terms.
Decent Novels is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.
Data Security
Decent Novels takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or loss.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored through the website.
Data Retention
Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain legitimate business or operational records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required for these purposes, it may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
Children's Privacy
Decent Novels does not knowingly seek to collect unnecessary personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website in a manner that requires attention, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action can be considered.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or information about the processing of your personal data.
You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent and the right to object to or limit certain types of processing, subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions.
Requests may be made using the contact information provided below. We may need to verify a request before taking action in order to protect the privacy and security of personal information.
