Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Complete Novel collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Complete Novel’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Complete Novel’s visitors use its website.

Complete Novel also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on completenovel.com blogs/sites.
