Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how DesiLoveStoriesAI ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit our website at desilovestoriesai.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We do not require account registration. We collect information only when you:

• Contact us via our contact form (name, email address, message)
• Subscribe to push notifications (device token only — no personal identifiers)
• Submit feedback or report content

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party services may automatically collect:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of visit
• Usage data: Stories viewed, categories browsed, session duration
• Device identifiers: Browser fingerprint for fraud prevention and content unlock verification

1.3 Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser storage mechanisms for:

• Session tokens — to remember that you have unlocked a story (stored in sessionStorage, cleared when you close the browser)
• Preference data — dark/light mode, reading history (stored in localStorage, persists until cleared)
• Third-party ad cookies — ad networks we partner with (Google AdSense, PropellerAds, etc.) may set their own cookies. See Section 4.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and improve the Site
• To personalise your content experience (e.g., remember recently viewed stories)
• To send push notifications about new content (only if you opt in)
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or policy violations
• To comply with legal obligations
• To respond to your contact form submissions

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not build individual user profiles for advertising purposes directly — though our advertising partners may do so under their own policies.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the EU/EEA, our legal basis for processing personal data is:

• Legitimate interests — operating the Site, fraud prevention, analytics
• Consent — push notifications, optional cookies
• Legal obligation — compliance with applicable law

4. Third-Party Advertising

This Site is monetised through third-party advertising networks including but not limited to Google AdSense, PropellerAds, Media.net, and CPA affiliate networks. These networks may:

• Use cookies and web beacons to serve personalised ads
• Collect data about your browsing behaviour across websites
• Track conversion events (completed offers) via their own pixels

We have no control over third-party cookies. You can opt out of personalised advertising via:

• Google Ads Settings
• Your Online Choices (EU)
• NAI Opt-Out (US)

5. CPA Content Locking

Some content on this Site is locked behind a CPA (Cost Per Action) offer. When you interact with a content locker, you are directed to a third-party offer page. That third party's privacy policy governs the data collected during that interaction. We receive a notification that an unlock was completed but do not receive your personal data from the offer completion.

6. Cloudflare

This Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and uses Cloudflare's global CDN. Cloudflare processes network-level data (IP addresses, request metadata) to provide security, performance, and analytics services. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacy.

7. Data Retention

• Contact form submissions: retained for 90 days, then deleted
• Server logs: retained for 30 days by Cloudflare
• Session/local storage: stored on your device until cleared by you or by browser

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time (for consent-based processing)

To exercise these rights, contact us at the address on our Contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

DesiLoveStoriesAI is a general-audience platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
