Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who we are

Madlystic is an author and book discovery platform operated at madlystic.com. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits or uses our platform — whether you are an author, a reader, or simply a curious visitor.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at hello@madlystic.com.

2. What data we collect

We currently collect the following information:

  • Email address — when you sign up for our launch waitlist
  • Browser data — standard information your browser sends automatically, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited

We do not collect your name, payment information, location, or any sensitive personal data during the coming soon phase.

3. Why we collect your data

Your email address is collected for one purpose only — to notify you when Madlystic launches. We will send you one email when the platform goes live.

We do not send marketing emails, promotional emails, or newsletters without your explicit consent. When the platform launches, you will have the option to opt in to book recommendations and platform updates separately.

4. How we store your data

Your email address is stored securely. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes — ever.

5. How long we keep your data

We retain your email address until one of the following occurs:

  • You request deletion of your data
  • You unsubscribe from our communications
  • We determine the data is no longer necessary

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion — request that we delete your data entirely
  • Objection — object to how we use your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@madlystic.com and we will respond within 7 days.

7. Cookies

Madlystic currently uses only essential browser cookies required for the website to function. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies at this stage.

8. Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate this platform. These services have their own privacy policies and are only used to the extent necessary to provide our service. We do not share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

9. Children's privacy

Madlystic is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us at hello@madlystic.com and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to this policy

As Madlystic grows and new features are added, this privacy policy will be updated to reflect those changes. When significant changes are made, we will notify users via email or a prominent notice on the platform.
