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.

Your Rights

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.
