When legally required to do so, we will disclose user information at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation.
We use cookies to record session information and store non-identifiable visitor preferences, such as preferred font size. Session information is encrypted and identifiable only to servers at fictionaut.com. This session information helps recognize you as a repeat visitor and to track traffic patterns on our site. We use this information to make Fictionaut more user-friendly.
Fictionaut may obtain IP addresses from users. We will use this information to monitor and prevent fraud, diagnose problems, and (anonymously) estimate demographic information.
We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site. Regardless of these efforts by us, no data transmission over the public Internet can be guaranteed secure. We encourage our users to use unique passwords and to rotate them often.
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose in public areas becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by other users. You should exercise caution before disclosing your personal information via these public venues.
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. You may receive activity or account related emails from Fictionaut.
