The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

[Erotic-Story LLC]
[123 Main St, Anytown, USA]

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:

  • Personal Data: Personally identifiable information, such as your email address, and password (stored securely hashed) that you voluntarily give to us when you register with the Site or when you choose to participate in various activities related to the Site, such as creating stories or subscribing to newsletters. You are under no obligation to provide us with personal information of any kind, however your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain features of the Site.
  • Story Generation Data: Information you provide when generating stories, including prompts, selected genres, characters, settings, fetishes, tones, and other parameters, as well as the stories generated based on these inputs. We treat this information with particular sensitivity. We may store this data temporarily to provide the service and potentially analyze it in an anonymized and aggregated form to improve our AI models and services. We do not link story generation data directly to your personal account unless you explicitly choose to save or publish a story. Saved stories are linked to your account for retrieval. Stories marked as public (`isPublic: true`) will have their title and content publicly accessible.
  • Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site.
  • Newsletter Data: If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address solely for the purpose of sending you updates, news, and tips related to our Service.
  • Contact Data: If you contact us via a contact form or email, we will collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message, to respond to your inquiry.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. We use essential cookies for site functionality like user sessions (via NextAuth.js). We currently do not use cookies for analytics or advertising. For more information on how we use cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy section below.

3. Use of Your Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Provide and operate the story generation service.
  • Allow you to save and manage your generated stories.
  • Display public stories shared by users.
  • Email you regarding your account or newsletter subscription (if opted-in).
  • Improve the quality and functionality of our AI models and the Site (often using anonymized and aggregated data).
  • Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Site.
  • Prevent fraudulent transactions, monitor against theft, and protect against criminal activity.
  • Respond to your inquiries and offer support.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

  • Performance of a contract: We process your account data and saved story data to provide the services you requested upon registration.
  • Legitimate interests: We process derivative data and certain usage data based on our legitimate interest in maintaining the security and improving the functionality of our Site, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Consent: We will process your email address for sending newsletters based on your explicit consent provided during sign-up. We will also rely on consent for any non-essential cookies, should we implement them in the future. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation: We may process your information where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

5. Data Retention and Security

We implement security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. We use hashing for passwords and strive to use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).

  • Account information is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete your account, which will initiate the deletion process for associated personal data.
  • Story generation prompts and unsaved generated stories are typically stored only temporarily for the duration needed to provide the service and potentially for short-term debugging or analysis in anonymized form.
  • Saved stories linked to your account are retained until you delete them or delete your account.
  • Publicly shared stories may remain accessible unless deleted by the user or upon account deletion, subject to caching by third parties.
  • Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe.
  • Server logs (Derivative Data) are typically kept for a limited period (e.g., [Number] days/weeks) for security and analysis purposes.

However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Site is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

Your information may be stored and processed in [Country/Region where servers are located, e.g., the United States or European Union]. If we transfer your information outside of the EEA, we will take appropriate safeguards.

6. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and secure.

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data storage (e.g., database provider via Prisma), hosting services, email delivery (for newsletters), and authentication services (NextAuth.js).
  • Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
  • Publicly Shared Stories: If you mark a story as public, its title and content will be visible to other users and potentially indexed by search engines. Your username will not be directly associated with the public story unless you include identifying information within the story itself.
  • With your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.

7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions. Deleting your account will initiate this process.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
  • The right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your personal information (e.g., for newsletters).

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 1. You also have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data.

8. Cookies Policy
