Welcome to Fiction Book Stores. We’re readers, just like you—and we know how important trust is when you’re spending time online. At Fiction Book Stores, we care deeply about protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you browse, engage, or sign up for anything on our site.
By hanging out with us here, you’re agreeing to how we do things. If something doesn’t sit right with you, feel free to take a pause and reach out. We want you to feel safe every step of the way.
What Information We Collect
Sometimes, to give you a better experience, we ask for a few details. Things like your name, email address, or even your favorite genres (because yes, we care about your TBR pile). You might give us this info by signing up for a newsletter, creating an account, or dropping us a message.
Beyond that, there’s also the behind-the-scenes stuff—like what pages you check out, how long you stick around, and what device you're using. It helps us see what’s working, what’s not, and what stories you’re really connecting with.
We also gather technical data like browser type, IP address, screen size, and, if you allow it, general location info. Nothing creepy—just the basics that help us make Fiction Book Stores run smoother for you and everyone else.
How We Use Your Info
First and foremost, your info helps us help you. Whether it’s tailoring recommendations to your tastes, improving site speed, or giving you bookish updates you’ll actually want to read—everything we collect serves one purpose: to enhance your experience.
If you subscribe to our emails, you might get updates about new reviews, author spotlights, reading lists, or limited-time book giveaways. You can opt out anytime (seriously, we won’t take it personally). Just hit “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any message.
We never sell your personal data. Never. We also don’t share it with third-party marketers who want to pitch you things that have nothing to do with books. Any sharing that happens is strictly to help us run the website—like working with secure payment processors, website hosts, or analytics partners who follow strict data protection rules.
Working with Trusted Third Parties
To keep Fiction Book Stores running efficiently, we sometimes team up with trusted service providers. Think hosting platforms, newsletter software, or analytics tools. These partners help us keep things running without compromising your privacy.
We share only what’s necessary—and we anonymize data whenever we can. These third parties must follow the same high standards of security we do. We choose partners who treat your info with the same level of care we expect for ourselves.
Keeping Your Info Safe
Your privacy deserves more than a “we’ll do our best” promise. That’s why we use encrypted systems, secure servers, and modern tools to protect your information from leaks, hacks, or other shady business.
That said, no system is completely bulletproof (not even the ones in dystopian thrillers). We encourage you to do your part—use strong passwords, don’t share your login info, and avoid signing in from public devices when possible.
We’re always updating our security practices to keep up with the times and the tech. It’s an ongoing commitment—and one we take seriously.
Your Rights and Choices
We believe you should have control over your own information. If you want to review, update, or delete anything we’ve collected about you, just let us know. You can reach out via email or adjust your preferences through your account settings.
Don’t want our emails anymore? No problem. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom—click it and you’re off the list. We’ll miss you, but your inbox peace is more important.
Want all your data wiped from our systems? As long as we’re not legally required to hang onto it, we’ll delete it—no hoops, no drama.
Outside Links
Sometimes we link to external websites—author pages, bookstore platforms, or literary blogs we admire. But once you leave Fiction Book Stores and click into another site, you’re playing by their rules.
We don’t control those sites, and we can’t promise their privacy practices match ours. So, before you share any info with them, give their privacy policy a quick look.
Keeping Things Up to Date
The internet’s always evolving, and so are we. From time to time, we might update this Privacy Policy to reflect new tech, better security practices, or just clearer explanations.
When we do, we’ll update the date on this page and—if the changes are big—you’ll hear from us. By continuing to use the site, you’re agreeing to the updated version of the policy.
Checking this page once in a while is a good idea. Not because we expect you to memorize legal jargon (we hate that stuff too), but because staying informed is empowering.
Got Questions? Let’s Talk.
We know—privacy policies can feel stiff. But at the heart of it, this is just about trust. And trust matters to us.
If you ever have questions, suggestions, or even just want to make sure your info’s being handled properly, drop us a message. We’re real people behind this site, and we’ll respond with real answers.
