Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 25, 2024
QuickTale ("we", "us", "our") operates the website quicktale.store (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address
- Display name (if provided)
- Authentication data via Google OAuth (if using Google Sign-In)
Story Metadata
When you create a travel story, we store the following metadata in our cloud database:
- Story title and subtitle
- Text content and chapter narratives
- Creation and modification timestamps
- Template preferences
All images you upload remain stored locally on your device using browser-based storage (IndexedDB). We have no access to your actual photo files. This "local-first" architecture ensures your personal photos remain private and under your control.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Provide and maintain the Service
- Associate your stories with your account
- Generate AI-powered narratives based on your text inputs
- Improve our Service and user experience
- Communicate important updates about the Service
3. Data Storage & Security
Cloud Storage (Supabase)
Account information and story metadata are stored securely on Supabase infrastructure with encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), row-level security policies, and regular security updates.
Local Storage (Your Device)
All photos are stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB via Dexie.js. This means photos never leave your device, but clearing browser data will delete locally stored images.
AI Processing
When generating story narratives, we send only your text content (title, notes, chapter descriptions) to our AI provider. No images are transmitted for AI processing.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share data only with service providers necessary to operate the Service (Supabase, payment processors), if required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Delete your account and associated data
- Export your stories
- Opt-out of marketing communications
To exercise these rights, contact us at quicktalestore@gmail.com.
6. Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies for authentication session management and user preferences. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a prominent notice on our Service.
