Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Who we are
Wyoot is operated by VR BROS LLC, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates. When this policy says “Wyoot”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, it means VR BROS LLC.
If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can reach us at hello@vrbrosllc.com.
What we collect
We only collect what we need to provide the service.
If you sign in
- Email address — used to identify your account and send you sign-in links or story notifications.
- Name and profile picture — provided by Google if you sign in with Google. Shown in your account page.
- Reading progress and achievements— which stories you've read, which choices you've made, and which endings you've unlocked. Stored so your progress syncs across devices.
- Newsletter preference — whether you want to receive emails when new stories are published. You can change this at any time from your account page.
If you read without signing in
We assign your browser a random anonymous ID (stored in your browser's local storage) and use it to save your reading progress on our servers. This ID contains no personal information. If you later sign in, your anonymous progress is migrated to your account and the anonymous ID is deleted.
If you post comments or create a public profile
Signed-in readers can post comments, and every signed-in user gets a public profile page. We collect and store:
- Handle, display name, bio, and profile photo — shown on your public profile page and next to your comments.
- Comments and replies— the text you post, and which story or scene it's attached to.
- Likes and follows— which comments you've liked and which authors you follow.
- Reports and blocks— if you report or block another user, or someone reports or blocks you. We don't reveal a reporter's identity to the person they reported.
Your handle, display name, bio, photo, and comments are visible to other usersof Wyoot — they aren't private data. Reports and blocks are visible only to you (and, for reports, our moderation team) — never to the person you reported or blocked.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how many people visit Wyoot and which pages are popular. Vercel Analytics is cookieless and does not track individuals — it only produces aggregated, anonymised counts.
How we use your data
- To provide the service — saving and syncing your reading progress and achievements.
- To send you sign-in links when you request them.
- To notify you about new stories, if you have opted in.
- To power comments, public profiles, follows, and likes.
- To review reports, respond to blocks, and otherwise enforce our Terms of Service and community standards.
- To understand overall usage of the site (aggregated analytics only).
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating Wyoot.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share it only with the service providers required to run Wyoot:
- Resend — used to send sign-in emails and story notifications. Your email address is transmitted to Resend solely for delivery.
- Google— if you choose to sign in with Google, your sign-in is handled by Google OAuth. Google's privacy policy applies to that interaction.
- MongoDB Atlas — our database provider, where your progress and account data is stored.
- Vercel — our hosting provider, which also provides the cookieless analytics described above.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — used to deliver push notifications on our mobile app, if you allow them. We share a device token, not your identity, with Firebase for this purpose.
Separately, other Wyoot users can see the public content you choose to post — your handle, display name, bio, photo, and comments — since that is the point of those features. See “If you post comments or create a public profile” above.
All providers are used solely to operate Wyoot and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
Cookies and local storage
Cookies
We set one cookie: a session token that keeps you signed in after you authenticate. This cookie is strictly necessary for the service to function and is deleted when you sign out or your session expires. No tracking or advertising cookies are used.
Local storage
We store the following in your browser's local storage (not cookies):
- Anonymous session ID — a random ID used to save your progress before you sign in.
- Theme preference — light or dark mode.
- Reader preferences — your chosen font size and reading width.
These are stored locally on your device only. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.
Community safety
If another user’s comment or profile is objectionable, you can report it to our moderation team, or block that user so their comments no longer appear to you (and yours no longer appear to them). We review reports and act on them promptly, and we never reveal a reporter’s identity to the person they reported. Blocking or reporting someone also never notifies them that you've done so.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access, correct, or delete your data, and — for EU/EEA residents — rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
To exercise any of these rights, or to request deletion of your account and associated data, email us at hello@vrbrosllc.com. We will respond within 30 days.
To stop receiving story notification emails, you can unsubscribe via the link at the bottom of any email, or toggle the setting in your account page.
Data retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days. Anonymous session data (progress not linked to an account) is retained indefinitely unless you clear your browser's local storage, which removes the link to that data.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Wyoot after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
