Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 31, 2026
The Legend of Sangue respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit our website, create an account, purchase digital content, subscribe to paid content, contact us, or otherwise interact with the Site, and how that information may be used.
By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We May Collect
The information collected depends on how you use the Site.
Information You Provide
We may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- your name or username;
- your email address;
- information associated with a subscription or digital purchase;
- information submitted through contact forms;
- messages or correspondence you send to us;
- comments or community contributions, if those features are available; and
- other information you choose to provide when interacting with the Site.
Please do not submit passwords, complete payment-card numbers, or other sensitive information through our contact forms or ordinary correspondence.
Purchase and Subscription Information
When you purchase digital content or subscribe through the Site, we may receive information necessary to identify and manage the transaction, such as your WordPress.com username, email address, the product or subscription purchased, the amount paid, and relevant transaction information.
Payment processing is handled through third-party payment services associated with WordPress.com, including Stripe.
We do not receive or store your complete credit or debit card information. Payment-card information is handled by the applicable payment processor according to its own privacy and security practices.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, WordPress.com and related technologies may automatically collect certain technical and usage information necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and understand use of the Site.
This may include information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device information;
- pages or content viewed;
- referring websites or links;
- approximate location derived from technical information;
- dates and times of visits;
- interactions with the Site; and
- cookies or similar technologies.
Some of this information may be provided to us in aggregated statistics rather than information identifying an individual visitor.
2. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- provide and operate the Site;
- provide subscriptions and purchased digital content;
- manage subscriber access;
- process and administer purchases;
- respond to questions, support requests, and other communications;
- maintain and improve the Site and reader experience;
- understand how visitors use the Site;
- prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, piracy, and security threats;
- enforce our Terms of Use and other policies;
- maintain necessary business and transaction records; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
We may also use information for other purposes when you specifically request or consent to that use.
3. WordPress.com and Automattic
The Site is hosted and operated using WordPress.com services provided by Automattic.
WordPress.com may collect and process information about visitors and users in order to provide hosting, accounts, subscriptions, site statistics, security, technical functionality, and other services.
Some information is therefore processed by WordPress.com independently or on our behalf according to its applicable privacy notices and policies.
4. Payment Processing
Payments made directly through the Site are processed using the payment services connected to WordPress.com, including Stripe.
Payment processors may collect information necessary to authorize and process transactions, prevent fraud, comply with financial regulations, and manage recurring payments.
We do not store your complete payment-card information.
Payment processors handle payment information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential functionality, maintain account sessions, manage subscriber access, remember preferences, understand Site usage, provide statistics, prevent fraud, and support other Site functions.
Some cookies may be placed or managed by WordPress.com or other services necessary to operate features used by the Site.
Where required, visitors may be provided with options to manage nonessential cookies or tracking technologies.
Additional information may be provided through our Cookie Policy or cookie-consent tools.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information simply because you visit, subscribe to, or purchase content from The Legend of Sangue.
Information may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the Site and provide the services you request. These may include:
- WordPress.com and Automattic;
- payment processors such as Stripe;
- hosting, security, and technical-service providers;
- email or communication services we may use; and
- professional advisers or service providers when reasonably necessary for business or legal purposes.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of the Site, its owner, its users, or others.
If the business is reorganized, transferred, or sold in the future, information associated with operating the Site may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
7. Email and Communications
If you contact us, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request.
If you separately choose to subscribe to newsletters, episode announcements, marketing communications, or similar updates, your information may be used to provide those communications.
Where required by law, marketing communications will be sent only with appropriate consent.
You may unsubscribe from optional marketing emails using the unsubscribe method provided with those communications.
Transactional messages relating to purchases, subscriptions, account activity, security, or customer service may still be sent when necessary.
8. Comments and Community Features
If comments, discussions, or other community features are available, information you intentionally post may be visible to other users or to the public depending on the feature.
Please use care when deciding what personal information to include in public discussions.
Community participation may also be governed by our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining transaction and business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud or abuse, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal obligations.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Some information processed through WordPress.com, Stripe, or other service providers may also be retained according to those providers’ legal obligations and retention practices.
10. Data Security
We use the services and security features available through our hosting, payment, and technology providers and take reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the Site to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for protecting your own account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account or subscription has been accessed without authorization.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to request:
- information about personal data we maintain about you;
- access to that information;
- correction of inaccurate information;
- deletion of certain information;
- restriction or objection to certain processing;
- portability of certain information; or
- withdrawal of consent where processing depends upon consent.
Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.
To make a privacy request concerning information controlled by The Legend of Sangue, please contact us through our Contact Us page.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
Information controlled independently by WordPress.com, Stripe, or another third-party service may need to be managed directly through that provider.
12. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a mature audience and is not directed toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the Site.
If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise address that information as required by applicable law.
13. International Visitors
The Site may be accessible to readers in countries around the world.
Information may therefore be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you live, including through WordPress.com, payment processors, and other service providers.
Where applicable, those providers are responsible for maintaining appropriate mechanisms for international data transfers as required by applicable law.
14. Third-Party Websites and Platforms
The Site may contain links to or interact with third-party websites, social-media platforms, retailers, publishing platforms, or other online services.
Those services have their own privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not control how independently operated third-party services collect or use information when you interact directly with them.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those services when appropriate.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site grows, new services or technologies are introduced, or legal requirements change.
The current version will be posted on this page with its most recent update date.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before materially different practices take effect.
16. Contact Us
