This Privacy Policy explains how Short Scary Stories ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the website 3sentencehorror.com, our email newsletter, and the tools we use to publish our own short-horror videos to our own social accounts. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run these things.
Information we collect
- Email address — only if you choose to sign up for our free-stories newsletter. It is submitted through a form and stored by our form/newsletter provider so we can send you the stories and occasional updates.
- Basic website analytics — standard, aggregate information such as page visits, which may be collected by our hosting provider. This is not used to identify you personally.
We do not collect payment details on this site; book purchases happen entirely on Amazon under Amazon's own terms and privacy policy.
How we use information
- To send the free stories you requested and, occasionally, news about new releases.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers that help us operate (for example, our email/form provider and website host), who process it only on our behalf.
Our TikTok publishing tool
We operate a private tool that publishes our own short-horror videos to our own TikTok account through TikTok's official Content Posting API. This tool authenticates only with the account we own and operate. It does not access, collect, or store data from any other TikTok users, their followers, or their content. Access tokens for our own account are stored privately and used solely to publish our posts.
Cookies
The site uses only what is necessary to function. Any third-party embeds or providers may set their own cookies under their own policies.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email, and you may request that we delete your email from our list. To do so, contact us at the address below.
Data retention
We keep your email only for as long as you remain subscribed or until you ask us to remove it.
Children
Our content is intended for adult horror readers. The site and newsletter are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
