Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Welcome to Waking Up Dreaming. I value your privacy as much as I value a good story. This website is meant to be a simple, uncomplicated space to read and share creative writing. Because of that, this policy is written in plain English, without unnecessary legal jargon.

1. Information Gathered Automatically
Like almost every space on the internet, this website uses basic, automated tools to keep things running smoothly. This includes anonymous technical data collected by the hosting server. This covers anonymous data such as your IP address, the type of browser you use, and the time you spent reading a specific chapter. This data does not identify you personally; it simply helps me understand how the website performs.

2. Cookies
This website uses essential, lightweight cookies to improve your reading experience. These cookies might remember your preferences, or ensure that elements like the cinematic video headers and horizontal scroll layout load instantly when you return. You can easily choose to disable or block cookies through your individual browser settings at any time without losing access to the stories.

3. Third-Party Interactions
I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. There are no aggressive advertising trackers or hidden corporate networks built into this space. If a chapter contains an embedded media file or links to an external creative platform, those platforms may collect data according to their own independent privacy guidelines.

4. Children’s Privacy
This website is a safe space intended for general audiences who enjoy creative writing, storytelling, and digital art. I do not knowingly collect or store any personal data from anyone, including individuals under the age of 18.

5. Contact
If you ever have a question about this space, how it is designed, or how data is treated, feel free to reach out via the contact paths provided on this website. Keep on dreaming.
