Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. Introduction#

VerseDB is operated by Reggio Digital LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("VerseDB," "we," "us," or "our"), and is the data controller for personal information processed through this site. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our comic cataloging and community features.

2. Information We Collect#

Account Information#

  • Basic profile information (name, email, password)
  • Profile picture and optional biography
  • Optional location you add to your profile (country, region, city, postal code)
  • Optional birth date, used only to decide whether you can view content marked for adults (18 and over); it is never shown on your profile
  • PRO subscription status and payment information
  • Moderation privileges and XP level

Collection Data#

  • Your comic collection inventory
  • Reading lists and pull lists
  • Wishlists and want lists
  • Grading and condition notes
  • Collection value estimates

Contribution Data#

  • Database edits and contributions
  • Reviews and ratings
  • Comments and forum posts
  • Edit history and moderation actions

Messages#

  • Private messages you exchange with other members
  • Messages between you and a comic shop that uses VerseDB Retail, which that shop's staff can read

VerseDB staff cannot browse private messages between members. If someone reports a message, staff can read the conversation it belongs to so they can act on the report, and each time they open one it is logged.

Usage Data#

  • Device and browser information
  • IP address and location data
  • Feature usage patterns
  • API access patterns (for developers)

Information We Do Not Collect#

We do not collect "sensitive personal information" as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar state laws. Specifically, we do not knowingly collect or process: Social Security numbers, driver's license or government identification numbers, financial account numbers or login credentials (payment card information is collected and processed directly by Stripe and never reaches our servers), stored precise geolocation (when the mobile app uses your device's location to find comic shops near you, the coordinates are used for that search and not saved; if you choose "Use my location" while setting up your profile, only the city and country are saved), racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, union membership, genetic data, biometric identifiers used to uniquely identify a person, health information, sex life, or sexual orientation. We have no need for this information to provide our service and do not request it from users.

3. How We Use Your Information#

Core Services#

  • Maintain and improve the comic database
  • Process and display your collection data
  • Track contribution history and XP
  • Manage PRO subscriptions
  • Provide API access

Personalization#

  • Customize your dashboard experience
  • Provide personalized recommendations
  • Generate collection insights
  • Deliver relevant notifications

Community Features#

  • Display public profile information
  • Process moderation actions
  • Facilitate community interactions
  • Track contribution quality

Communications#

We send several categories of email to users:

  • Transactional emails — password resets, email verification, account deletion notices, billing receipts, and similar messages required to operate your account. These are not subject to marketing opt-out because they are necessary to provide the service.
  • Service updates and digests — new-release alerts for series on your pull list, recaps of activity, and notifications tied to comics, creators, or lists you follow. You can manage these per-type from your account notification settings.
  • Product announcements — occasional emails about new features, milestones, and significant changes to VerseDB.
  • Promotional emails — discount codes for PRO, seasonal offers, and similar marketing communications.

You can also give us your email address without an account, to get the VerseDB newsletter or alerts about comic conventions in a region. We use it only for what you signed up for, convention alerts start only after you confirm the address, and every email carries an unsubscribe link.

You can opt out of product announcements and promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any such email, or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings. We honor opt-out requests promptly.

4. Information Sharing#

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not rent it. However, our use of analytics and advertising partners (such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and Google AdSense) may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the broad definitions in the California Consumer Privacy Act. See Section 8 for how to opt out. In addition:

  • Public contributions (edits, reviews) are visible to all users
  • Your profile, collection, reading list, wishlist, and activity are public by default; the total value of your collection is hidden by default. You can change each of these in your privacy settings, or make your whole profile private
  • A public collection item shows its condition, grading, signature, and estimated value. What you paid, where you bought it, where you keep it, your notes and tags, and who you have loaned it to are only ever shown to you
  • If you create a share link for your collection or subscribe to your release calendar, anyone who has that link can see what it covers, whatever your privacy settings say. You can turn a share link off at any time
  • Profile information visibility is controlled by your privacy settings
  • Aggregate data may be shared for research or statistical purposes
  • API access is governed by our API Terms of Service

5. Third-Party Services#

We use trusted third-party services to operate our platform. These services may process your data as follows:

Payment Processing#

Stripe processes all payments for PRO subscriptions and for digital editions sold through VerseDB. When you subscribe, Stripe collects and processes your payment card information directly. Your payment details are never stored on our servers. Stripe is PCI-DSS compliant and maintains industry-standard security practices.

Analytics and Conversion Tracking#

Google Analytics 4 helps us understand how visitors use our website and measure the effectiveness of our services. This includes:

  • Page views and feature usage patterns, such as searching, adding a comic to your collection or pull list, following, reviewing and building lists
  • Subscription checkout and purchase events
  • User registration tracking
  • General site performance metrics

We use both client-side tracking (via gtag.js) and server-side tracking (via GA4 Measurement Protocol) to ensure accurate conversion measurement. For logged-in users, we may associate analytics data with your user ID to provide better service insights. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using browser extensions or adjusting your cookie preferences.

Advertising and Conversion Tracking#

Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Conversions API help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and understand how users interact with our site. This includes tracking actions such as page views, searches, registrations, purchases, and contact form submissions. Data shared with Meta may include your IP address, browser information, and a hashed identifier. You can manage your Meta advertising preferences through your Facebook account settings or by using browser-based opt-out tools.

Social Sign-In#

When you choose to sign in or sign up using a third-party identity provider, we receive a limited set of profile data from that provider to create or match your VerseDB account. The data we receive varies by provider:

  • Sign in with Apple — your name (only on the first sign-in if you choose to share it) and a verified email address. You may use Apple's "Hide My Email" relay, in which case we store the relay address rather than your real email.
  • Sign in with Google — your name, a verified email address, and your Google profile picture.
  • Sign in with Discord — your Discord username, email address, and avatar.

We use this information only to create or sign you into your VerseDB account. We do not share it back to the identity provider for advertising purposes, and we do not use it to track you across other apps or websites. If you delete your VerseDB account, we revoke the link with the identity provider where the provider's API supports it (Apple).

Discord Account Linking#

Separately from signing in, you can link your Discord account to VerseDB from the Apps page in your account. When you do, we send Discord your VerseDB username and four values for its Linked Roles feature: whether you are a PRO subscriber, the date your PRO subscription started, the number of comics in your collection, and the number of reviews you have written. Discord servers use these to grant roles, such as the PRO role in the VerseDB server. A linked account can also receive direct messages from the VerseDB bot, such as notifications you have turned on. You can unlink Discord at any time from the same page, which stops these updates.

VerseDB Chat Bots (Discord, Slack, Telegram)#

The VerseDB bot answers comic lookups in Discord and Slack servers and Telegram chats that have added it. Its commands return catalog information only and never show anyone's collection. For each command we log which command was run, the platform, the server or workspace ID, and the platform's ID for the person who ran it, to handle rate limits and fix errors. If you link your Slack or Telegram account to VerseDB, we store your user ID and username on that platform so the bot can recognize you.

VerseDB Comic Lookup on Reddit#

VerseDB Comic Lookup is our app on Reddit's Developer Platform. Moderators can install it in a subreddit, where it answers !versedb comment commands, runs comic lookup posts, and keeps a board of the series the community follows. You do not need a VerseDB account to use it, and using it does not connect your Reddit account to VerseDB.

  • What reaches VerseDB. The app runs on Reddit's servers and sends us only what it needs to find a comic: the title and issue number or barcode you enter (for a comment command, only the text after !versedb on its first line), and for the community board, a moderator's series search or the catalog IDs of the series the community follows. It never sends your Reddit username or user ID, the subreddit's name or ID, the ID of your post or comment, or the rest of its text. Because the requests come from Reddit's servers, we do not receive your IP address.
  • What we keep. We answer these requests from the catalog and do not store them. Our web server does not write them to an access log. If a request fails, its details can appear in our server logs, which are kept for 5 days (see Data Retention).
  • What the app keeps on Reddit. The app stores some data in the storage Reddit provides to it, which we do not collect: catalog results for between 10 minutes and 24 hours, links to cover images for 30 days, the IDs of posts and comments it has answered for 7 days so it does not reply twice, the Reddit ID of each person who ran a command for 30 seconds to limit spam, and each community's followed series and posting settings until its moderators change them. It does not store the text you search for.
  • Covers and links. Cover images in the app are copied to Reddit and served by Reddit. Links in the app's replies open the VerseDB website, where the rest of this policy applies.

Reddit's own privacy policy covers your use of Reddit. You can delete your own posts and comments with Reddit's tools, and moderators can remove the app's replies and posts. For questions about the app, email [email protected].

Display Advertising#

Google AdSense is used to display advertisements to non-PRO users and guests on the VerseDB website. AdSense may collect and use data to show you personalized ads based on your interests, browsing history, and demographic information. This may include:

  • Cookies for ad personalization and frequency capping
  • Device identifiers and IP address
  • Browsing activity across sites that use Google advertising services

PRO subscribers do not see advertisements. The AdSense script is not loaded for PRO subscriber sessions, meaning no advertising-related data collection occurs for these users.

Advertising is not currently being served on the VerseDB website. No AdSense script is loaded for any visitor at present, so none of the collection described in this section is happening today. We will keep this section current if that changes.

You can manage your Google advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings or opt out of personalized advertising. For more details, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

Infrastructure, Storage, and Delivery#

We rely on the following providers to host VerseDB and deliver the service. These providers process personal information on our behalf as data processors under our instructions, subject to written data processing agreements:

  • Hetzner Online GmbH — server hosting and database storage for the VerseDB application (Germany).
  • Cloudflare, Inc. — content delivery network, DNS, security, and R2 object storage used for cover images, user-uploaded media (profile photos, banners, gallery uploads, collection scans), and other static assets.
  • Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES) — transactional and marketing email delivery, including account, billing, notification, and product emails.
  • Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) — error and performance monitoring for the website and the mobile apps. On the website, Sentry receives technical details of an error, such as the page and the code that failed; we do not send it your IP address, cookies, or request contents by default.

Location, Maps, and Security Checks#

Some pages contact a third party directly from your browser or on your behalf, which gives that service your IP address:

  • IP geolocation. To center the comic shop finder near you, and to decide which cookie consent rules apply when our CDN does not supply your country, we look up your IP address with ip-api.com, falling back to ip2location.io, IPinfo, geoPlugin, or MaxMind if it is unavailable. The result is an approximate city or country; we do not save it to your account.
  • Google Maps. The comic shop map loads Google Maps in your browser.
  • Google One Tap. When you are signed out, pages may load Google's sign-in prompt so you can sign in with your Google account in one step. Google receives your IP address and browser information when it loads.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile. Sign-up, sign-in, and some other forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to block automated abuse. Turnstile inspects your browser and connection to tell people from bots.

Browser Notifications#

If you turn on browser notifications, your browser gives us a push subscription address operated by your browser's vendor (for example Google for Chrome, Mozilla for Firefox, or Apple for Safari). We send notifications to that address, so the vendor's push service carries the notification to your device. Turning notifications off in your settings or your browser removes the subscription.

Digital Editions and Redemption Codes#

Publishers can sell digital editions and hand out redemption codes through VerseDB, for example to crowdfunding backers. When a publisher uploads a list of recipients, we store each recipient's name and email address to send and track their code. When you redeem a code, the publisher that issued it can see and export your VerseDB username, name, country, email address, and when you redeemed it. When you buy an edition, Stripe processes the payment on behalf of the publisher, who receives the payment and the purchase details Stripe gives a seller.

Staff Notifications#

Our team gets internal alerts in a private Discord server. Some carry personal information: account deletion alerts include the member's email address, username, and the reason and comment they gave, and contact form alerts include the sender's name, part of their email address, and their message. Discord processes these as a service provider.

Personal Webhooks (PRO)#

If you set up a personal webhook, we send the activity events you choose to the URL you enter. We do not control what the receiving service does with them.

Some "Buy" links go to retailers through affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates and the eBay Partner Network. If you click one, the retailer may set its own cookies to credit the referral to VerseDB. We do not send retailers your account information.

GIF Search (Klipy)#

The GIF button in a comment box searches Klipy, and Klipy requires those searches to come from your own browser or app rather than from our servers. So when you open the GIF tab and search, Klipy receives what you type, your IP address, your browser's user agent, and the country code we send to rank results. We do not send Klipy an account identifier, and we do not tell it who you are.

A GIF you post is stored as Klipy's identifier for it, never as a copy of the image, because Klipy's terms do not allow us to store or re-host its media. Anyone reading the comment loads the GIF from Klipy directly, which means Klipy also receives the IP address of the people who read a thread containing one.

AI-Assisted Features (VerseAI)#

Our AI features use third-party AI model providers. VerseAI uses Google's Gemini API to power AI-assisted summaries, recommendations, and search. When you ask VerseAI a question, we send Google your question, the earlier messages in that conversation, catalog information from VerseDB, and, so the answer fits your taste, a summary of your own collection, reading history, pull list, lists, and reviews. Google processes this under the Gemini API terms and has stated that paid API content is not used to train its models.

When you use cover lookup in the mobile app, the photo you take is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to identify the comic. If we move cover lookup back to Google's Gemini API, the photo is processed by Google as described above instead. Anthropic processes the photo under its commercial terms, which do not allow it to train its models on that content.

We do not send either provider your email address, password, payment information, or other members' private data.

AI Assistants You Connect (MCP)#

PRO subscribers can connect an AI assistant, such as Claude or another app that supports the Model Context Protocol, to their VerseDB account. You approve each connection on a VerseDB authorization screen. Once connected, the assistant can read and change your collection, pull list, lists, reading progress, reviews, and profile as you direct it. Anything the assistant reads from VerseDB is then handled by that assistant's provider under its own privacy policy, not this one. You can disconnect an assistant at any time from the Apps page in your account.

AI Tools We Use to Run VerseDB#

We use AI tools from third-party providers to help operate VerseDB: to review and correct catalog data, analyze usage and account data, investigate errors, and prepare reports. Some of this work involves personal information, such as account details, contributions, and aggregate usage. These providers process the data on our behalf to perform the task we give them. People on our team review what these tools do, and they are not used to make automated decisions about your account.

We encourage you to review these services' privacy policies for more information about how they handle your data.

Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)#

The Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and Google AdSense services described above, and the browser cookies referenced in this policy, apply to the VerseDB website only. Our mobile apps work differently:

  • Advertising through Google AdMob. The apps show banner and interstitial ads supplied by Google AdMob. PRO subscribers see no ads. The Meta Pixel is not used in the apps at all.
  • Your choices about ad personalization. Before any ad loads, the apps present Google's consent form, and on iOS an App Tracking Transparency prompt as well. Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) is used to personalize ads only if you allow tracking at that prompt; decline it and you still see ads, but non-personalized ones. Android has no equivalent prompt, and personalization there is governed by your Google account's ad settings. On iOS we also use Apple's SKAdNetwork, which measures ad performance without identifying you.
  • First-party analytics and diagnostics. We use Google's Firebase Analytics, Remote Config, and In-App Messaging to understand how the app is used and to control which features are switched on, and Sentry to diagnose crashes and errors. Both are linked to your VerseDB user ID. Firebase Analytics may also read your device's advertising identifier where the device makes it available (on iOS, only if you allow tracking at the App Tracking Transparency prompt).
  • Staying signed in on a new Android phone. On Android, the app can create a restore key that Google Play services backs up to your Google account, so you are signed back in when you move to a new phone. We store the key's public half with the device's name and an identifier for it. Signing out removes it. Sentry does not receive your IP address or request contents by default.
  • Device permissions. With your permission, the apps access your camera (to scan barcodes and photograph covers), your photo library (to choose a profile or banner image, attach an image to a comment, add photos to a collection item, or identify a cover from a saved photo), your location while the app is open (to find comic shops near you, or to fill in your city and country while setting up your profile), and motion sensors (to keep the barcode scanner oriented correctly). The apps never use your location in the background. You can grant or revoke each permission in your device settings.
  • Cover lookup. When you identify a comic from a photo, the photo is sent to our AI provider as described under AI-Assisted Features (VerseAI) above.
  • Maps. The comic shop map uses Apple Maps on iOS and Google Maps on Android, so Apple or Google receives the map area you view and your IP address.
  • Notifications. If you enable notifications, we register a device push token and send release alerts and activity updates through Apple Push Notification service on iOS and Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android, which carry the notification to your device.
  • App updates. The apps download small updates between store releases from Expo, our app build and update provider, which receives your IP address, the app version, and your device platform when the app checks for an update.
  • Purchases. PRO subscriptions bought in the apps are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not Stripe, and are governed by the applicable store's terms. We use RevenueCat to manage these subscriptions; it receives your VerseDB user ID and your store purchase records so we can confirm your PRO status. Manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings.
  • Widgets, Apple Watch, Siri, and Spotlight. If you add a VerseDB widget or install the Apple Watch app, it shows data from your account, such as your pull list, reading progress, or collection totals, on your home screen, lock screen, or watch face, where anyone holding the device can see it. Shortcuts you run through Siri are processed by Apple under its own privacy terms. The iOS app adds series and issues to your device's Spotlight search index, which stays on your device.
  • App Clip. The VerseDB App Clip lets you scan a barcode without installing the app or signing in. It sends only the scanned barcode to VerseDB and contains no analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting code.

Data Retention#

We keep your account information for as long as your account is open, and delete it as described under Account Closure in Section 8. Some records are kept for set periods:

  • VerseAI conversations are kept until you delete them or delete your account.
  • Notifications are deleted 30 days after you read them, or after 90 days if unread.
  • Collection and pull list exports are deleted 7 days after they are created.
  • The activity log that records changes to catalog records and staff actions is kept for 365 days.
  • Server logs, which can include email and IP addresses, are kept for 5 days.
  • Business verification documents are deleted 90 days after the application is decided.

6. Data Security#

We protect your data through:

  • Encryption of sensitive information
  • Secure server protocols and infrastructure
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Access controls and authentication
  • Backup and recovery procedures

Security Incidents#

No system can be guaranteed completely secure. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or interests, we will notify affected users without undue delay, and notify regulatory authorities where required by applicable law (including within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach where required under the GDPR). Our notice will describe the nature of the breach, the categories of data involved, the likely consequences, and the measures we have taken or propose to take in response.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:

  • Performance of a contract — to create and maintain your account, process your PRO subscription, and provide the cataloging and community features you have signed up for.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the platform; to prevent fraud and abuse; to maintain the community database; and to communicate with you about service changes. We balance these interests against your rights and you may object at any time (see Section 8).
  • Consent — for non-essential analytics and advertising cookies, and for any optional marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time through our Cookie Policy preferences or by updating your settings.
  • Legal obligation — to comply with applicable tax, accounting, and law-enforcement requirements.

8. Your Rights and Controls#

Access and Control#

  • View and edit your personal information from your account settings
  • Control collection and list privacy settings
  • Manage notification preferences and email communications
  • Configure API access tokens
  • Manage analytics and advertising cookie consent at any time

Marketing Communications#

You can opt out of marketing emails (product announcements, promotional offers, and digests) at any time by:

  • Clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email — opt-outs are processed promptly and within the time required by applicable law
  • Updating your communication preferences in your account settings
  • Emailing us at [email protected] with the subject "Unsubscribe"

Even after opting out of marketing email, we will continue to send you transactional messages required to operate your account, such as password resets, billing receipts, security notices, and changes to these policies. You may stop receiving all email from us by deleting your account.

Data Portability#

  • Export your collection data — see Exporting Your Collection (PRO)
  • Request a copy of everything else we hold about you, including your contributions, reviews, and messages, in a machine-readable format, free on any plan, by following "How to Exercise Your Rights" below

Business Verification Documents#

If you apply to claim a publisher or event-organizer listing, we ask for documents that prove you represent that business — a business registration, a government-issued license, a trademark registration, an authorization letter, or for event organizers a venue contract or certificate of event insurance. These are stored on private, non-public storage and are readable only by the VerseDB staff reviewing your application. They are never shown on your profile, never shared with other users, and never used for advertising.

We delete the uploaded files 90 days after your application is decided, whether it was approved, declined, or closed because we did not hear back. After deletion we keep only a record that a document of a given type was reviewed and when — enough to show the application was handled properly, with none of the document's contents. You can remove a document yourself at any time while your application is still a draft.

If your application asks us to verify a domain you control, we store the domain name, the verification token we asked you to publish, and whether the check succeeded. We do not read any other DNS records and we do not store anything else about your domain.

Account Closure#

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. Confirming closes the account immediately — you are signed out and it stops working. You then have 24 hours to restore it, after which your personal data is permanently deleted, any active PRO subscription is canceled with Stripe, and user-uploaded media (profile photo, banner, and collection scans) is removed from our storage. The deletion runs automatically within an hour after the 24 hours elapse. If you subscribed to PRO through the Apple App Store or Google Play, that subscription is billed by the store and only you can cancel it there — deleting your VerseDB account does not stop it. Public contributions to the comic database (such as edits to series, issues, characters, or other shared records) are retained in an anonymized form because they form part of the community database. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Delete Your VerseDB Account.

Rights of EU/UK Residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)#

Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy
  • Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
  • Erasure ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data
  • Restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format
  • Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
  • Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

We do not engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you within the meaning of GDPR Article 22. Personalized recommendations and feature suggestions are advisory only and do not determine access to the service.

Rights of California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)#

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the business purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
  • Delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
  • Correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for money, but our use of advertising and analytics partners (such as the Meta Pixel, Google AdSense on the website, and Google AdMob in the mobile apps) may qualify as "sharing" under California law. On the website you can opt out at any time by setting your cookie preferences to decline advertising cookies. In the apps, decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS, or turn off ad personalization in your Google account settings on Android. Becoming a PRO subscriber disables third-party advertising on both, and you can also submit a request as described below.
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information — we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require this right to be offered.
  • Non-discrimination — we will not deny service, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your privacy rights.

You may authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf; we will require the agent to provide proof of authorization and may require you to verify your identity directly.

Rights of Other U.S. State Residents#

Residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws — including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Indiana — have substantially similar rights, including the right to access, correct, and delete personal information we have collected from you, to obtain a portable copy, and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal information, and certain forms of profiling. To exercise these rights, follow the process described in "How to Exercise Your Rights" below. You also have the right to appeal a denial of your request by replying to our response.

How to Exercise Your Rights#

To exercise any of the rights described above, email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe what you are requesting. We may need to verify your identity using information associated with your VerseDB account before fulfilling the request. We will respond within 45 days for California requests (extendable by an additional 45 days where reasonably necessary, with notice) and within 30 days for EU/UK requests (extendable by up to 60 additional days for complex requests). There is no fee for exercising your rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

9. Children's Privacy#

VerseDB is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we discover we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

10. International Data Transfers#

VerseDB is operated from the United States. Our application servers and database are hosted in Germany, and some of the service providers listed in Section 5 process personal information in the United States and other countries. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, please note that the United States may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. When we transfer personal data from these regions to the United States or to other countries, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us at the address in Section 12.

11. Changes to This Policy#

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes through:

  • Site notifications
  • Email notifications (for registered users)
  • Updates to the "Last Updated" date
