Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 20, 2026. This policy describes how Red Fish Bay (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use our website and related services, including when you sign in with Meta (Facebook).

1. Who we are

Red Fish Bay is an online literary website. For privacy-related requests, contact us at vadimakalin@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may process:

• Account and profile data — for example, if you create an account or sign in with Meta: identifier from Meta, name, and email address as provided by Meta or entered by you, and similar profile fields needed to operate login.
• Usage and technical data — such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and timestamps, collected through server logs and similar technologies to secure and improve the service.
• Cookies and similar technologies — we may use cookies for session management, preferences, security, and analytics where enabled.

3. Meta (Facebook) Login

If you choose “Continue with Facebook” or similar, Meta processes your authentication according to Meta’s policies. We receive only the profile information that you authorize through the Meta login dialog. We use that information to create or link your account and to provide the features you request. We do not sell your personal information.

You can review Meta’s data practices in Meta’s Privacy Policy and adjust app permissions in your Meta account settings.

4. How we use information

We use the information above to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Red Fish Bay;
• Authenticate users and prevent fraud or abuse;
• Communicate with you about the service when necessary;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

5. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where applicable, we rely on: performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as security and analytics compatible with your expectations), and consent where required (for example, for certain cookies or marketing, if offered).

6. Sharing

We may share information with:

• Service providers who assist us with hosting, analytics, or security, under appropriate agreements;
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

We do not sell your personal information as a commodity.

7. International transfers

If we transfer data outside your country, we take steps consistent with applicable law (such as appropriate safeguards or standard contractual clauses where required).

8. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to certain processing, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at vadimakalin@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

10. Children

The service is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required for online services in your region. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
