Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 25, 2025
Last Updated: October 25, 2025
This policy clearly explains how Lorenovels (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles your personal information on our website, https://lorenovels.com/. We are committed to collecting and processing only the minimum data necessary for your user experience.
1. Information We Collect and Why
We collect the minimum amount of information required for our two main functions: user accounts/subscriptions and commenting.
A. For User Accounts and Subscriptions (Login)
Data Collected: Your Name and Email Address.
Purpose of Use: This data is used solely to create and maintain your account and to allow you to log in to the site. We do not use this email to send you any newsletters or promotional updates.
B. For Payment Processing
Data Collected: We do not collect or store your payment card numbers or bank account details.
Purpose of Use: All payment transactions are handled directly by our secure third-party payment processor, PayPal. PayPal processes your financial data to complete your subscription.
C. For Commenting
Data Collected: Your Name, Email Address, and IP Address.
Purpose of Use: We use this data to publish your comment and to recognize you as a trusted, previous commenter so your future comments can be approved easily without moderation.
2. Legal Basis for Processing (For EU/EEA Users)
For users in the European Union (EU/EEA), the law requires us to state our official legal reason for handling your data:
For Accounts/Login and Subscriptions: The basis is Contract. We process this data because it is necessary to provide you with the account and subscription services you specifically requested.
For Commenting: The basis is Legitimate Interest. We have a legitimate interest in providing a functional and engaging comment section for all our users.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or share your personal information with advertisers. Your data is only disclosed to necessary service providers or legal authorities:
Payment Processor: We share necessary data (like your name and transaction amount) with PayPal to process your monthly subscription.
Legal Authorities: We will disclose information if we are legally required to do so in response to a valid court order or official governmental request.
4. Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
No matter where you are located, you have the right to control the personal data we hold about you:
Right to Access: You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we have about you.
Right to Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal information. If you request this, we will remove your account, all associated comments, and any stored data (unless we have a critical legal obligation to keep it).
For California Users (CCPA/CPRA): Since we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, you have no need to submit an opt-out request.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use a minimal number of cookies, which are small text files stored on your device:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for core site functions, like keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences. They do not require your consent.
No Marketing or Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or extensive tracking of your web activity. (This aligns with your required Cookie Notice statement.)
6. Contact Information
