Last Updated: May 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The LaViscount Corporation (“TLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you visit thelaviscountcorporation.com, contact us, purchase products or services, submit creative materials, use TLC-related digital experiences, or otherwise interact with our website and offerings.

TLC is a creative technology, publishing, mythic intellectual property, AI governance, and creator infrastructure company. Our website may support original story worlds, books, digital content, merchandise, creator submissions, publishing services, AI governance services, MythFoundry Studio, Archive & Armor, IronCanon, investor interest, and other public-facing offerings.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

C. Payment and Checkout Information

If you purchase products or services through the website, payment information may be collected and processed by third-party payment processors, banks, card networks, e-commerce platforms, checkout providers, fulfillment providers, or related vendors.

TLC does not intentionally store full credit card numbers on its own website systems. Payment providers may collect and process payment information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

D. Creative, AI, Governance, and Submission Data

Some TLC offerings may involve creative workflows, AI-assisted development, publishing review, canon review, governance review, document analysis, image generation, story development, or other creator-support services.

Depending on the service used, we may collect or process:

  • Uploaded files, PDFs, documents, images, references, or links

  • Authorship, provenance, receipt, timestamp, audit, or verification records

  • Governance, workflow, policy, risk, or compliance materials provided by business clients

You should not submit confidential, proprietary, regulated, legally privileged, sensitive, or business-critical information unless a separate written agreement, NDA, secure submission process, or direct instruction from TLC confirms that the information should be submitted.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website

  • Respond to inquiries, messages, and service requests

  • Process purchases, orders, payments, refunds, deliveries, and customer support

  • Provide publishing, creative, AI, governance, consulting, review, or technical services

  • Comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, regulatory, or law enforcement obligations

  • Enforce TLC agreements, policies, rights, and intellectual property protections

We do not claim ownership of your original creative work merely because you submit it through the website or to TLC. However, specific services, contests, commissions, canon submissions, publishing arrangements, collaborations, or paid engagements may be governed by separate written terms.

3. How We Share Information

We may share information with trusted third parties when reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide services, complete transactions, or comply with obligations. These may include:

  • Website hosting providers

  • E-commerce and checkout providers

  • Payment processors

  • Shipping, printing, and fulfillment providers

  • Email, newsletter, and communication tools

  • Analytics and performance tools

  • Security, anti-fraud, and spam-prevention providers

  • Cloud storage and productivity providers

  • AI, creative, or technical service providers used to deliver requested services

  • Contractors, collaborators, advisors, or service providers working with TLC under appropriate confidentiality expectations

  • Legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or compliance professionals

We may also disclose information if required or permitted by law, court order, legal process, government request, or to protect TLC, users, creators, customers, partners, or the public from harm, fraud, misuse, unauthorized activity, or unlawful conduct.

We do not sell personal information as a primary business model.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to:

  • Keep the website functioning properly

  • Enable account, cart, checkout, login, and form features

  • Remember preferences

  • Understand traffic and performance

  • Improve security

  • Support analytics and marketing functions

For more details, see our separate Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may link to third-party platforms, websites, storefronts, payment processors, streaming platforms, social media pages, AI tools, Replit-hosted tools, or other external services.

When you leave thelaviscountcorporation.com or use a third-party service, that third party’s privacy policy and terms may apply. TLC is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or data handling of external websites or services that we do not control.

6. Creative Submissions and Intellectual Property

TLC works with creative material, including stories, artwork, characters, worlds, manuscripts, settings, lore, concepts, frameworks, and other intellectual property.

Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise:

  • You retain ownership of original creative materials you submit.

  • Submitting material to TLC does not automatically transfer copyright ownership to TLC.

  • TLC may review, store, organize, and evaluate submitted material for the purpose for which you submitted it.

  • TLC may contact you about your submission, requested service, collaboration, contest, review, or publishing opportunity.

  • TLC may preserve internal records relating to submissions, approvals, reviews, provenance, authorship, dispute prevention, or operational continuity.

Because TLC develops its own original universes, systems, characters, stories, mythology, technology concepts, products, and services, you understand that TLC may already be developing or may later develop material that is similar in theme, genre, structure, archetype, mechanic, phrase, symbol, or concept to material you submit. Similarity alone does not create an obligation unless a separate written agreement says so.

For contests, fellowships, canon submissions, publishing services, commissioned work, collaborations, or platform participation, additional written terms may apply. Those terms will control if they conflict with this Privacy Policy.

7. AI-Assisted Services and Governance Work

Some TLC services may involve AI-assisted drafting, analysis, review, governance design, risk assessment, creative development, document review, or other AI-supported workflows.

When you use or request such services, information you provide may be processed to generate outputs, evaluate systems, create reports, map workflows, assess risks, support canon review, or deliver the requested engagement.

For business clients using AI Governance Sprint or related services, client materials may include operational documents, policies, workflows, prompts, AI behavior examples, risk logs, screenshots, or system information. TLC will use such materials to provide the requested service unless a written agreement provides broader or narrower permissions.

Do not submit regulated, highly sensitive, confidential, medical, financial, legal, employment, government, or proprietary information unless an appropriate written agreement and secure submission process are in place.

8. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide services

  • Complete transactions

  • Maintain business records

  • Resolve disputes

  • Support authorship, provenance, canon, or submission records

  • Meet legal, tax, accounting, compliance, or contractual obligations

  • Improve and protect the website and services

  • Enforce agreements and protect TLC rights

Creative submissions, governance records, transaction records, business communications, and provenance-related records may be retained longer where necessary for proof, continuity, authorship, rights management, audit, dispute prevention, or legal purposes.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no website, internet transmission, email communication, payment system, AI workflow, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for using caution when deciding what information to submit online. If information is extremely sensitive, confidential, legally privileged, regulated, or business-critical, contact TLC first to confirm the appropriate submission method and written protections.

10. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of certain information

  • Object to or restrict certain processing

  • Opt out of promotional emails

  • Request information about how your data is used or shared

To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Some information may be retained where required or permitted for legal, contractual, tax, accounting, dispute prevention, authorship, provenance, security, or legitimate business reasons.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe option where available or by contacting us directly.

11. Children’s Privacy

The website and services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will review the matter.

Some TLC content, stories, games, or creative materials may appeal to younger audiences, but purchasing, account creation, submissions, services, and business interactions should be handled by adults or with appropriate parent or guardian involvement where required.

12. International Visitors

TLC is based in the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed in the United States or in other locations where our service providers operate.

Different countries may have different privacy and data protection laws than your country of residence.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above.

Your continued use of the website after an updated Privacy Policy is posted means you accept the revised policy.
