We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data with service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, payment processing), legal authorities when required by law or to protect our rights, and other users if you publish a public profile or contribute content to the Site.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
Effective Date: 05.26.2025
Story Circle Hub is primarily a content and community platform and operates as a data controller, not a data processor. This means we collect and manage user data (such as profile information, contact details, and activity history) for our own purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We do not process personal data on behalf of other organizations or clients, nor do we offer services where we manage data under the instruction of a third party.
If at any point we begin offering data-processing services (e.g., if we develop tools for B2B clients that involve processing their customer data), we will provide a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws.
For questions about data privacy or your rights under GDPR, you may contact us at [email protected].
