1.1 Information you give us

We collect information you provide directly, such as:

• Account Information: Name, email address, and login credentials.
• Profile Details: Educational background or preferences if provided.
• Purchase Information: Which works you have bought and when. Payments are handled by our payment provider, Flutterwave; we do not store your full card details.
• Author Information: If you publish with us, the details you give about yourself and your works.
• Communications: Messages sent via our contact forms or forums.

1.2 Usage Data

We automatically collect technical data to improve our services:

• Device information (type, OS, browser).
• Usage patterns (pages visited, reading time).
• IP address and standard web server logs.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data allows us to:

• Provide and maintain the Service, including your account, reading and purchases.
• Personalize your learning experience, for example remembering where you stopped reading.
• Process payments and, where applicable, pay Authors.
• Keep Qatru secure and prevent abuse.
• Communicate with you regarding updates or support.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate our platform (e.g., hosting, analytics, and our payment provider Flutterwave).
• Authors: Only the information needed to report sales on their works. Purchases are reported in aggregate rather than by identifying individual buyers.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences (such as light or dark mode), keep you signed in, and analyze traffic. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

6. Content Rights and Permissions

Qatru hosts a mix of public-domain classical texts and modern works made available with permission from the relevant author, publisher, or rights holder where applicable.

If you contact us regarding a rights, permission, or takedown request, we may process the personal information you provide to investigate the issue, communicate with the relevant parties, and maintain a record of our review.

7. Retention

We keep your information while your account is active, and afterwards for as long as we need it for legal, accounting and security purposes.

8. Your Data Rights

You have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data. To submit a data deletion request:

No login required. Our team will confirm your request within 3–5 business days and complete deletion within 30 days of confirmation.

9. Children
