What we keep and why

Reading and downloading stories needs no account. We only keep data when you create an account, publish a story or move through your passport.

If you create a username and password

• Your username.
• Your hashed password (PBKDF2-SHA256 with salt). Nobody, including the site team, can read it.
• We do not ask for email, real name or phone.

If you sign in with GitHub

• GitHub confirms your account number and username. Your GitHub password never passes through this site.
• Your GitHub email is only used inside the session cookie to recognise the moderator account; it is not stored in the database.

What you publish

• Your story file, cover and the details you write (title, pen name, synopsis, tags, destination) are public. You can use a pen name.
• Your passport (stories you opened or read) is kept in your account, or only in your browser if you are not signed in.
• If you report a story, we keep the reason for moderation.

Cookies

One signed session cookie (eos_session, 30 days) and a temporary one (eos_oauth) during GitHub sign-in. No ads and no third-party tracking.

Where it is stored

On Cloudflare (D1 database and KV storage), which hosts the site.

How to delete your data

Go to My account → Account settings → Delete my account to remove your account, your stories with their files and covers, and your passport. It is immediate and cannot be undone.
