Privacy Policy

A plain-language explanation of the information 8Muse uses to run the reader, protect accounts, and improve discovery.

1. Scope and age restriction

This policy covers 8Muse's website and related services. The service is for adults only and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Contact us if you believe a minor has provided information to 8Muse.

2. Information we collect

  • Account information: username, email address, encrypted password credentials, adult confirmation, and a hashed recovery key.
  • Reading activity: bookmarks, reading progress, viewed titles, interactions, and popularity signals.
  • Technical information: IP address, browser and device details, request logs, identifiers, timestamps, and security or rate-limit events.
  • Communications: the information you include when contacting us, making a privacy request, or submitting a legal report.

3. Cookies and browser storage

We use a session cookie and local browser storage to keep the service working and remember your choices. Depending on how you use 8Muse, your browser may store:

hf_sessionKeeps a signed-in account authenticated.
hf_age18Remembers adult-age confirmation.
hf_language / hf_themeRemembers language and appearance preferences.
hf_progressStores reading progress for local use and account synchronization.
hf_reader_idSupports reader continuity and service measurement.

You can clear these through your browser settings, though doing so may sign you out or reset preferences. If advertising is activated, advertising partners may use additional technologies subject to their own policies and available consent tools.

4. How we use information

  • provide accounts, bookmarks, reading progress, search, and personalization;
  • operate, diagnose, secure, and prevent abuse of the service;
  • measure popularity and improve catalog discovery and performance;
  • respond to support, privacy, safety, and legal requests;
  • comply with law and enforce our terms.

5. When information is shared

We may share limited information with:

  • hosting, database, security, analytics, and other infrastructure providers;
  • CommentHub, when its comment embed or sign-on features are used;
  • MailSift or similar providers used to validate email addresses;
  • advertising partners if advertising features are enabled;
  • authorities or affected parties when required by law or necessary for safety;
  • a successor in a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of the service.

We do not sell personal information for money.

6. Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security and records, resolve disputes, and satisfy legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information and why it was collected. We may keep aggregated or de-identified information that no longer identifies you.

7. Your choices and rights

You can change browser preferences, remove local storage, manage account data, or request account deletion. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

8. Security and international processing

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online system is completely secure. Information may be processed in countries with different privacy laws from your own; where required, we use appropriate safeguards for those transfers.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the service changes. The date at the top identifies the latest version. For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].
