At FictionWeave, we are committed to ensuring that you are fully aware of your rights regarding your personal data. Under the GDPR and CCPA, you are afforded the following rights:
The Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we have about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
The Right to Rectification: If the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.
The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data when there’s no compelling reason for its continued processing.
The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request the suspension of the processing of your personal data, for example, if you want us to verify its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
The Right to Data Portability: This right allows you to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
The Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
The Right to Withdraw Consent: Where the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Rights in Relation to Automated Decision Making and Profiling: You have the right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us, or is based on your explicit consent.
The Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority: If you feel that your rights have been breached, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@fictionweave.com.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
Please note that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements.
To ensure the protection of personal data, we implement a comprehensive suite of security measures in line with industry standards and regulatory requirements. This includes:
