Privacy Policy
What FatedTale collects, why, and what you can do about it.
Last updated: 2026-11-11
The short version
We collect what we need to run your stories and take payments. We don't sell your data. We don't train AI models on your stories.
What we collect
- A session cookie. When you make your first move, we create an anonymous guest session so your story can be saved. It is stored as a cookie in your browser.
- Your stories. The actions you type and the story text written in response, plus the story's state (for example, your stats and inventory).
- Account details. If you create an account: your email address, and your name and profile picture if you sign in with Google.
- Network and device data. Your IP address and browser type. We use a coarse form of your IP address to prevent abuse of free turns.
- Payments. Payments are handled by Stripe. We receive the result of a payment and the email used, never your full card number.
- Bot checks. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a new guest is a person before giving free turns.
How we use it
- To run your story: your recent turns are sent to an AI model to write the next scene.
- To keep your progress, show your turn balance and process purchases.
- To prevent fraud and abuse, and to keep the service secure.
- To fix problems and improve the stories, using aggregate statistics.
Who processes your data
- AI providers. Story text is sent through OpenRouter to the model provider that writes your turn. They process it to generate the response.
- Cloudflare hosts the service and its database and runs Turnstile.
- Stripe processes payments.
- Email delivery sends your sign-in codes.
These providers act on our behalf and only receive what they need. We may also share data if the law requires it, or to protect our users or the service.
How long we keep it
We keep your stories and account while your account exists. Guest sessions with no stories are deleted after 30 days. Payment records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, export, correct or delete your data by emailing support@fatedtale.com. Deleting your account deletes your stories. Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, UK or California), you may have additional rights. We will honor them.
Children
FatedTale is not for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, tell you in the service.
