Welcome to Moonlight Magazine (“Moonlight Magazine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Moonlight Magazine respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit moonlightmagazine.com, create an account, purchase digital publications, or subscribe to our quarterly magazine (collectively, the “Services”).
Moonlight Magazine uses Vercel for website hosting, Prisma for database management, and intends to use Stripe for payment processing and subscription billing, subject to Stripe’s approval and continued availability.

MOONLIGHT MAGAZINE IS AN ADULT-ORIENTED PUBLICATION INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR INDIVIDUALS AGED 18 OR OLDER.

Moonlight Magazine uses an age gate during account registration. Users must confirm that they are at least 18 years old, or the applicable age of majority if higher, before accessing age-restricted Services.
Our current age gate relies on information provided by the user and does not constitute independent identity or age verification.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 through our age-restricted Services.
If we become aware that an underage individual has registered or provided personal information, we will take appropriate steps to restrict access and delete eligible information, subject to applicable law.
Additional age-verification measures may be implemented where required by law.
