This describes what the service does today, not
what we intend it to do. When that changes, this page changes first.
Your stories are not encrypted yet
Encryption of story content is built but not switched on. Until it is, your premises,
notes and chapters are stored in plain text in our database. We are saying so here rather
than describing the finished state, because a privacy page that promises protection you do
not have is worse than no page at all.
We can read your stories, and here is when we do
The engine runs on our servers, so it reads your premise, your instructions and the
chapters so far in order to write the next one. That happens for the duration of the
request. We do not read your stories as routine work, and we have built our own admin tools
so that they cannot: no screen in this service can display the text of anyone's story. That
is a deliberate constraint on ourselves, and it is the one we would notice removing.
What we send to the model
Generating a chapter means sending your text to the provider that runs the model. We do
not send your email address or your account identifier with it.
What we store about you
Your email address, which site you signed up on, when you last signed in, and counts:
stories, sections, words, and what the generation cost. The choices you make from our menus
- explicitness, length, the tags you tick - are stored in readable form and used in
aggregate to decide what to build next.
What we measure while you read
Which country you connect from, where you arrived from, which sections you opened and how
long you stayed. There are no cookies, no third-party scripts and no advertising network on
this site. Nothing leaves our own database.
Deletion
Self-service deletion is not built yet. Until it is, ask us and we will remove your
account, your stories and any waiting-list entry. This is on the list of things that must
exist before the service is open to the public.
What we store when you write to us
The contact form keeps your email address, what you wrote, which site you wrote from, the
country the request came from, and a one-way hash of your IP address. The hash is there so
we can tell whether the same sender is flooding the form; it cannot be turned back into an
address. Messages are deleted when they are dealt with.
Who runs this
Operator: Chaoscompany ApS. Reach us through the contact page - we do not publish an email
address, because an address on a page like this one is harvested within a day and cannot be
taken back.
