Privacy Policy
Save My Stories helps storytellers and families record life stories, share questions, and contribute photos and memories. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to people who use the service.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use Save My Stories, we may collect the following information:
- Story recordings, transcripts, edited story text, and story titles.
- Storyteller profile details you choose to provide, such as birthplace, places lived, age range, and interests.
- Family contributions, including submitted questions, notes, names, and photo uploads.
- Invite links, invite codes, device-linking information, and archive membership records used to connect people to the correct family archive.
- Basic technical information needed to operate the service, such as app version, request metadata, and timestamps.
How We Use Information
We use information collected through Save My Stories to:
- create and maintain family archives;
- store, organize, and display stories, questions, and photos;
- generate story transcripts and make stories easier to review and share;
- deliver invite links and connect storyteller devices;
- improve app reliability, security, and product quality.
How Information Is Shared
Stories, questions, and photos are shared within the family archive according to the visibility and invitation settings used in the app. We do not sell personal information. We may use service providers that help us host the app, store uploaded content, process requests, and operate the service on our behalf.
Story and Family Content
Save My Stories is designed around user-submitted content. Story recordings, transcripts, family questions, and uploaded photos may contain personal or sensitive information. People using the app should only upload or share content they are comfortable storing in their family archive.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as needed to operate the archive and provide the service, unless deletion is requested or retention is otherwise required for legal, security, or operational reasons.
Your Choices
Depending on how you use the service, you may be able to:
- edit story text and storyteller profile information in the app;
- control story visibility within the family archive;
- stop using the app at any time;
- request deletion of content or account-linked data by contacting us.
Children’s Privacy
Save My Stories is intended for family storytelling and memory preservation. It is not designed as a service for children to use independently without family involvement.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the information stored through the service. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above.
