Privacy Notice

We collect only what we need to run memberships and deliver content. Notes are encrypted in your browser; we store only ciphertext.

1. Introduction

The Hungry Imagination is a membership-based learning platform created by Armando Lucero. We respect your privacy and collect only the information necessary to operate the site, deliver content, and support member features.

This notice explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.

2. Information we collect

Account & membership information

When you create an account or subscription, we may collect:

• Name
• Email address
• Membership status and plan
• WordPress user ID (used internally to associate your access)

We use this information to manage member access and provide site features.

Payments

Payments and billing are handled by trusted third-party providers (Memberful and Stripe). We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers, and we do not have access to your payment credentials.

Access & content delivery

To deliver content you are entitled to access, we may store information such as:

• Which Works or downloads are available to your account
• Whether access has been granted or revoked
• Subscription state (active, paused, expired)

3. Notes & encrypted content

The Hungry Imagination includes a private notes feature that allows members to create personal notes associated with Works.

• Notes are encrypted in your browser.
• Only encrypted data (ciphertext) is stored.
• Your passphrase is never sent to us and is never stored.
• If a passphrase is lost, notes cannot be recovered.

Optional Sync can store an encrypted copy on the server so you can retrieve notes across devices (the notes remain encrypted and private).
