This page explains what information this site collects when you visit, why, and what choices you have. We keep it short because we collect very little. This site is an information site about reading Archive of Our Own on your phone. There are no accounts here, nothing to buy, and no app to install.
What we collect
Like most websites, our server keeps standard logs when you load a page. Those logs can include your IP address, your browser type, the page you visited and the time of the visit. We use them to keep the site running, spot errors and understand which pages readers actually use, so we can keep the useful ones updated.
If you leave a comment or join a discussion on this site, we store the name and text you choose to post so the discussion can be displayed. Please do not put private information in a public comment — no email addresses, no passwords, nothing you would not say in a public room.
Cookies and advertising
This site may use cookies for basic functions, such as remembering display preferences, and for measuring visits in aggregate. Advertising partners, if ads are shown, may use their own cookies to serve and measure ads. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time; the pages here will still load and read fine without them.
Links to other sites
Our pages link to archiveofourown.org and to app stores and e-reader apps we mention, such as Apple Books, Google Play Books and Kindle. Once you follow a link, that site's own privacy policy applies, not ours. AO3 has its own privacy policy on archiveofourown.org, and it is the one that governs your AO3 account and reading there.
What we never collect
We never ask for your AO3 username or password, and you should never enter those details anywhere except archiveofourown.org itself. We do not collect payment details, and we do not sell personal information. If any page, app or message claiming to be us asks for your AO3 login, treat it as a fake and let us know through the discussions on the contact page.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with the new date. Questions about privacy on this site can be raised in the discussions linked from the contact page, where we answer in public so everyone gets the same information.
