Dreamland Reads — Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2025
Welcome to Dreamland Reads, operated by Apex Dynamics LLC. ("Dreamland Reads," "we," "our," or "us").
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you use our website, digital library, and related online services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, purchasing a membership, or using the Service, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1) Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information to operate and improve the Service:
Account Information
- Name, email address, and password you provide when creating an account.
Payment Information
- Payment details are processed exclusively through Stripe.
We do not store full credit-card information on our servers. Stripe's own Privacy Policy applies to your payment data.
Usage & Device Information
- IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
- Log-in frequency, book downloads, and actions within the Service (e.g., daily logins, coin use).
Cookies and Tracking Tools
We use cookies and similar technologies for login sessions, analytics, and to remember user preferences.
You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may stop working properly.
2) How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to:
- Provide and maintain your account and membership.
- Process payments and renewals via Stripe.
- Track rewards (Gold Coins, tasks, logins).
- Improve our books, features, and overall experience.
- Communicate with you (service updates, account notices, policy changes).
- Detect or prevent fraud and technical issues.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties.
3) How We Share Information
We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate Dreamland Reads:
- Supabase – user account management, storage, and database hosting.
- Stripe – payment processing.
These partners are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations and may process data only as needed to perform their services.
4) Children's Privacy
Dreamland Reads is designed for families, but accounts are for users aged 13 and older.
- Children under 13 may enjoy our books only under a parent or guardian's account and supervision.
- We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from children under 13.
- We may collect anonymous, non-identifiable usage data (e.g., which story was read most) for general statistics.
If you believe we have unintentionally collected a child's personal information, please contact us through our website so we can delete it promptly.
5) Data Storage and Transfers
All user data is stored and processed within the United States.
We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
6) Data Retention
We retain your account data until you request deletion or your account is permanently closed.
When you delete your account, we remove personal identifiers within a reasonable timeframe unless law or security requirements require longer retention.
7) Your Rights and Choices
You may:
- Access and update your account information through your profile settings.
- Delete your account at any time (which permanently removes your personal data after processing).
- Opt out of non-essential emails or cookies where applicable.
8) Security Measures
We use encryption, authentication, and secure hosting to protect data in transit and at rest.
No online system is perfectly secure, but we continuously work to improve protection of your information.
9) Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to third-party sites (e.g., learning tools or partner pages).
We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review those sites' privacy policies separately.
10) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
The latest version will always be posted on our website with a revised "Last updated" date.
Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the new terms.
11) Contact Us
If you have privacy questions or requests, please reach us through the in-app help section or the contact form on our website.
We will respond as soon as reasonably possible.
