Suspense Club Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 1 June 2025

This is all the boring and legal stuff we have to write. We’ve done our best to write it in plain English without any legal mumbo jumbo.

At Suspense Club, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.

  1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: Name, email address, and payment details (if applicable).
  • Community Contributions: Feedback, reviews, and discussion posts.
  • Technical Information: IP addresses, browser type, and usage data (e.g., cookies).
  1. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

  • Provide and improve the platform’s services.
  • Facilitate discussions and feedback between readers and authors.
  • Process payments and manage subscriptions.
  • Send updates, newsletters, or promotional content (with your consent).
  • Ensure compliance with community guidelines and prevent misuse.
  1. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. However, we may share your data with:

  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors for payment processing, hosting, or email delivery.
  • Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect the rights of Suspense Club and its members.
  1. Data Security

We take your data seriously and do our best to protect it. Here’s how:

  • Any information you send through the site is encrypted in transit using HTTPS (you’ll see the little padlock in your browser).
  • We don’t store any payment or financial information ourselves — that’s handled securely by trusted third-party services like Stripe.
  • Member data (like email addresses) is stored on secure servers, and we follow best practices to prevent unauthorized access.
  1. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to:

  • Enhance your user experience.
  • Track site usage and improve functionality.
  • Offer personalized content and recommendations.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

  1. Your Rights

As a member, you have the right to:

  • Access, update, or delete your personal information.
  • Opt out of newsletters or promotional emails anytime.
  • Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Withdraw consent for data collection.

However, please note: some data (like your name and email) is necessary to maintain your account and give you access to Suspense Club. If you choose not to share this essential info, we won’t be able to offer you membership or access to our services.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@suspenseclub.com.

  1. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary to:

  • Provide services to you.
  • Comply with legal obligations.
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
  1. Protecting Author and Reader Contributions
  • Authors retain 100% ownership of their work and contributions.
  • Readers agree they have no rights to feedback or ideas shared on the platform.
  • Suspense Club will take legal action to protect intellectual property rights and prevent unauthorized use.
  1. International Data Transfers

Depending on where you are in the world, we may transfer your data across borders to connect with our secure hosting provider. All data is encrypted during transfer and storage, and we comply with applicable international data protection laws.

  1. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Members will be notified of significant changes via email or platform announcements. The updated policy will include the effective date.
