Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
At MeantToBeRead.com (operated by Nick Hill), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your unreleased manuscripts and personal information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information such as your name, email address, and payment details when you submit a project. We also securely collect and process your uploaded manuscript files (.docx format).
2. AI and Data Processing
Your manuscript is processed using our proprietary ALINE engine, which relies on AI models via secure APIs. Your manuscript is never used to train public AI models. Our API integrations enforce strict zero-retention policies for model training.
3. Data Retention
We retain your manuscript and editorial data for 90 days following project completion to facilitate revisions. After this period, files are securely deleted from our active servers unless you explicitly request extended storage.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Access to your manuscript is strictly limited to our core team and assigned senior editors bound by NDAs.
5. Jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United Kingdom. We comply with applicable UK data protection regulations.
