PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: August 2, 2026 · Purradox Universe
1. WHO WE ARE
Purradox Universe ("we", "us", "our") is an independent creative platform featuring comics, music, social features, and digital content. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Contact: purradoxstudio77@gmail.com
2. DATA WE COLLECT
Account Data: When you register, we collect your email address, display name, and optional profile details. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
Membership Data: Your subscription tier (Free, Spiral, Voidwalker), purchase history, and active membership status.
Social Data: Posts, comments, reactions, and profile information you choose to share on Spiral Social.
Marketplace & Orders: Shipping addresses, order history, and payment status (via Stripe — we never store card details).
Download Tracking: Records of digital downloads you have accessed, for re-download access purposes.
Reading Progress: Your comic chapter progress, bookmarks, and episode completion records.
Anonymous Analytics: State/region-level visit counts (e.g., "123 visits from North Carolina"). No IPs, cities, or coordinates are stored.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA
• Provide and maintain your account and membership
• Process orders and deliver digital content
• Display community features (Spiral Social, Forum)
• Show anonymous activity on the Spiral Globe
• Send transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets)
• Improve the site experience and content
4. COOKIES & TRACKING
We use cookies and localStorage for authentication, preferences, and anonymous analytics. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the panel.
5. ANALYTICS
When analytics cookies are accepted, we record anonymous visit counts by U.S. state or world region. We do not track individual users, store IP addresses, or collect precise location data. This data is displayed publicly as aggregated counts only (e.g., "Souls Connected: 1,240").
If you reject analytics cookies, no visit data is recorded from your browser.
6. SHARING YOUR DATA
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:
• Stripe — payment processing (governed by Stripe's privacy policy)
• Base44 — our platform/hosting provider
• ipapi.co — anonymous IP geolocation for state-level analytics (no personal data retained)
7. YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Opt out of non-essential data processing
• Data portability (EU/UK residents)
• Opt out of sale of personal information (California residents — we do not sell data)
To exercise these rights, email us at purradoxstudio77@gmail.com.
8. DATA RETENTION
Account data is retained while your account is active. When an eligible account-deletion request completes, the login identity is deleted where supported or disabled and anonymized, and account-linked application records are removed. Orders and security/economy ledgers may be retained in anonymized form for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, and security purposes. Provider-managed backups and stored files may follow the hosting provider’s retention lifecycle. Anonymous analytics may be retained indefinitely only as aggregates without account identifiers.
9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Purradox Universe is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated via the site. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
