Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you create an account or subscribe:

• Name and email address
• Payment information (processed securely by Stripe or PayPal — see Section 4)
• Content you create within the platform (papers, citations, outlines)

We also collect limited technical data automatically:

• Browser type and operating system
• Pages visited and features used (to improve the platform)
• IP address (used for security and fraud prevention only)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Writers Unblocked platform
• Process your subscription and send billing confirmations
• Respond to your questions and support requests
• Send important service announcements (not marketing spam)
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

3. Payments & Financial Data

All payment processing is handled by Stripe and PayPal — two industry-leading, PCI-DSS-compliant payment providers. Writers Unblocked never stores, sees, or has access to your full card number, bank details, or PayPal credentials.

When you subscribe, Stripe or PayPal will store a secure token linked to your payment method so future billing can occur without re-entering your details. Their respective privacy policies govern how that data is handled:

• Stripe Privacy Policy →
• PayPal Privacy Policy →

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Stripe and PayPal for payment processing, and basic hosting infrastructure — all bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
• Business transfer: In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, you will be notified before your data is transferred.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored using industry-standard security practices. We use encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

While we take reasonable precautions, no system is 100% immune to security risks. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

6. Cookies

Writers Unblocked uses a minimal set of cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

• Session cookies: Keep you logged in during a browsing session.
• Preference cookies: Remember settings like your preferred paper format.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the platform may not function correctly without them.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Opt out of non-essential communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at businessmajor929@gmail.com. We will respond within 5 business days.

8. Children's Privacy

Writers Unblocked is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
