Privacy Policy — StoryLoom

Effective date: June 27, 2026 · Last updated: October 1, 2026

1. Information We Collect

The developer collects no personal data. There is no sign-up, login, or account creation, and no name, email, or phone number is requested or stored. Everything you create in the app stays on your device via SwiftData and is never sent to any developer server.

• Projects / world-building — The story material you write. Stored only on the device.
• Characters / relationship map — The characters you create and the relationship node map between them. Stored only on the device.
• Timelines / branches — The event and branching timelines you build. Stored only on the device.
• Notes, settings, language, theme — Your writing and app preferences. Likewise stored only on the device.

2. Export and Sharing

Only when you explicitly tap Export/Share, StoryLoom turns your data into a file (Markdown / JSON / .storyloom) and hands it to the iOS share sheet.

• Where the exported file goes is entirely your choice (save to the Files app, send by mail or message, share to another app, and so on).
• StoryLoom does not send this data to any developer server and does not transmit it automatically to any external destination.
• Data handling at any destination you choose in the share sheet (e.g. a third-party cloud or messaging app) is governed by that service's own privacy policy.

3. Data Transfer and Third Parties

The developer does not transfer any data externally or share it with third parties. No developer-side network calls are made with your data.

• No backend server of our own
• No analytics SDK
• No crash-reporting SDK
• No advertising or tracking identifiers (IDFA); no ATT prompt

In-app purchases are handled by Apple StoreKit / the App Store, processed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. The developer does not receive that data.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• All data lives only on your device, so you retain full control.
• You can edit or delete any record — projects, characters, timelines — directly within the app.
• Deleting the app removes all data stored on the device. In-app purchases can be restored through your Apple account.

5. Payments (In-App Purchases)

StoryLoom is free, with an optional one-time Lifetime Pro purchase. All payments are processed by Apple's App Store / StoreKit; the developer never sees or stores payment details such as card numbers. Payment and refund data handling follows Apple's privacy policy.

6. Children's Privacy

StoryLoom is designed to be safe for all ages (4+). It collects no personal data from anyone, including children.

Windows Version (Microsoft Store)

StoryLoom for Windows follows every principle above. The following applies to the Windows version only.

• Storage — All data is stored only in the app data folder on your PC, and the last 7 days of automatic backups are kept on the same PC. Nothing is sent to a developer server.
• Import — The app reads only the .storyloom / JSON files you choose.
• AI connection (optional, off by default) — When you turn it on in Settings, a local endpoint reachable only from this PC (127.0.0.1) opens, and only an AI tool (such as Claude) holding the access token you copied can read and edit your story data. StoryLoom itself does not send this data off your PC. How a connected AI tool handles the data is governed by that tool's own privacy policy.
• Payments — The lifetime Pro unlock is processed by the Microsoft Store under Microsoft's privacy statement. The developer never receives payment information.
• Deletion — Uninstalling the app removes its data folder and automatic backups.
