Who operates this service
The operator of Cotor is responsible for explaining its use of personal data. Replace the example identity and contact details in Legal notice and Contact with the operator’s actual details. This notice needs the operator’s legal bases, retention periods, providers, storage locations, and any international-transfer safeguards before it can describe the deployment fully.
Data used by the application
Account details, profile photos, language and privacy preferences support your profile and settings. Sign-in and security records protect access. Books, drafts, history, invitations, review discussions and credits support writing and collaboration. Ratings, watch choices and notifications support reader features. Privacy requests and responses support their review.
What others can see
Public books and their displayed contributor names are visible to visitors. Private books require reading permission. A writer’s unsubmitted working copy is private to that writer. Book managers can see invitations they manage. Individual ratings and watch choices are private; only rating totals are public. Authorised administrators manage accounts and service records. Hosting and email providers are identified by the operator.
Your account controls
In Privacy, download the available personal account data or request account deletion. The export excludes passwords, access credentials, manuscripts and draft content; use book downloads for authorised book content. A deletion request goes to an administrator for review and does not immediately delete or disable the account. Shared books, ownership and historical credits need separate consideration. You can also remove activity entries and notifications, stop watching a book, and change your rating or remove it.
Contact preferences
Privacy settings record whether you allow contact by other members. Your email remains private. Direct messaging is not available yet; this preference is saved for future contact requests.
Cookies and device storage
A session cookie keeps you signed in. A language cookie remembers your interface choice for up to one year. The editor stores recovery copies on your device; another local value informs open tabs when your account changes. Clearing browser site data removes these local copies and settings, not saved server drafts. On a shared device, sign out and clear local site data when you are done.
Retention and shared work
Activity and notification lists show the last 90 days; older entries are cleaned up when you open those lists. This is not a retention rule for all account or book data. The operator must specify other retention periods and explain any records kept when responding to a deletion request.
Your rights
Where applicable, request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability, object to processing, or withdraw consent to consent-based processing. You may complain to the competent data protection authority, including the CNIL in France. Contact the operator to exercise these rights or to request information beyond the account export.
