Serena's Fanverse is a small, non-commercial fanfiction archive run by a single admin for fun and community. This page explains what we collect and why, in plain language.
What we collect
Account info: username, email, password (hashed), date joined.
Content you post: stories, summaries, chapter notes, reviews, favorites, and ratings.
Basic logs: IP address and timestamps when you log in, post, or trigger errors (helps with spam/security).
Cookies: strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in and remember preferences.
What we do not do
No advertising cookies, trackers, or third-party ad networks.
No sale of personal data. No data sharing for marketing.
Why we collect data
Run the archive (logins, posting, moderation, spam prevention).
Account data and posted content are kept until you delete them or ask us to remove them.
Security logs are typically rotated within 90 days unless needed for abuse/technical investigation.
Backups may keep deleted items for up to 30-60 days before they expire.
Your choices
You can edit or delete your stories and reviews from your account panel.
