Last updated: April 7, 2026

Introduction

Whiselle ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service:

  • Device identifiers — We use anonymous device tokens for authentication. No email, name, or personal login is required.
  • Story preferences — Your onboarding choices (mood, genre preferences) are stored to personalize your experience.
  • Usage data — We track story selections and playback progress to improve our service.
  • Subscription data — Payment processing is handled by third-party providers (Apple App Store). We do not store payment information.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

  • Generate personalized story recommendations
  • Track your story progress and session history
  • Enforce usage quotas (free vs. premium)
  • Improve our AI storytelling engine

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on encrypted servers. Audio files are stored in secure cloud storage. We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • OpenAI — For AI-powered story generation
  • Minimax — For text-to-speech audio generation
  • RevenueCat — For subscription management

Your Rights

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. Since we use anonymous authentication, deleting the app effectively removes your association with stored data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page.

AI Processing

To provide personalized storytelling features, certain user inputs such as story preferences, selections, and interactions may be processed by our AI service providers (such as OpenAI and Minimax).

This processing is strictly limited to generating story content and enhancing the user experience.

Notifications

We may send push notifications to inform you about story availability, updates, and reminders.

You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
