Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 18, 2026

Portal Archives respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you use the Portal Archives website, mobile application, digital library, and related services.

Information We Collect

When you create or use a Portal Archives account, we may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, account credentials, preferences, and information you choose to save or submit through Portal Archives.

We may also collect limited technical information necessary to operate, secure, and improve the service, such as device information, application activity, diagnostic information, and network or connection information.

If a Portal Archives feature requests access to information such as your location, you will be asked for permission where required. You may control applicable permissions through your device settings.

Account and Library Information

Portal Archives may maintain information associated with your account, including access rights, purchases, subscriptions or product entitlements, saved content, preferences, and other information necessary to provide your personal library and account features.

Payments

Payments for Portal Archives products or services may be processed by third-party payment providers, including Stripe. Portal Archives does not directly store complete payment-card numbers. Payment providers process payment information according to their own privacy and security practices.

How We Use Information

We may use information to provide and maintain Portal Archives; authenticate accounts; provide access to purchased or entitled content; maintain user preferences and saved information; process and verify transactions; provide customer support; protect the security and integrity of the service; comply with legal obligations; and improve the operation and reliability of Portal Archives.

Service Providers

Portal Archives may use trusted service providers to operate portions of its infrastructure, including hosting, authentication, database and storage services, payment processing, communications, and other technical services.

These providers may process information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are subject to their own applicable privacy and security obligations.

Sale of Personal Information and Advertising

Portal Archives does not sell personal information.

Portal Archives does not use personal information for third-party behavioral advertising or sell personal information to data brokers.

Data Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Portal Archives services, maintain account and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the security and integrity of the service.

Portal Archives Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your Portal Archives account and the personal data associated with it by emailing contact@portalarchives.com from the email address connected to your account.

Use the subject line: Delete My Portal Archives Account

Please include the email address associated with the account. Portal Archives may ask you to verify account ownership before completing the request.

After verification, Portal Archives will delete or anonymize the account and associated personal data, including saved preferences and reader-created information such as notes, dedications, bookmarks, favorites, and marked passages.

Certain transaction, security, fraud-prevention, tax, accounting, or legal records may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required. Any retained information will be limited to those purposes and kept only for the applicable legal or operational retention period.

Deleting an account removes access to the personal Portal Archives library and cannot be undone.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to request access, correction, or deletion of certain information.

You may also manage applicable device permissions through your device settings.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information handled through Portal Archives. No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
