StoriWeb is built to be a simple, private place
to read short stories. We collect only the
information we need to provide the app,
maintain your account, and remember the stories
you've saved or read.
1. About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how StoriWeb
("StoriWeb", "we", "us", or "our") collects,
uses, stores, and protects information when you
use the StoriWeb app and related services.
By using StoriWeb, you acknowledge the practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information we collect
We collect limited information needed to provide
StoriWeb.
Account information.
When you create or access a StoriWeb account,
we collect your email address. StoriWeb uses
passwordless email magic-link authentication.
We do not ask you to provide or collect a
display name as part of the StoriWeb account.
Reading information.
We store information associated with your account
that allows us to provide features such as:
- Stories you have saved.
- Stories you have previously read.
This reading information helps StoriWeb remember
your saved stories and avoid repeatedly showing
you the same content.
Story submissions.
If you choose to submit a story to StoriWeb,
we may receive the story, your email address,
and any other information you choose to include
in your submission.

advertising, cross-app tracking, or location

- Precise location information.
- Advertising identifiers for tracking.
- Browsing activity across other apps or websites.

- Crash-reporting data through a third-party crash service.

currently process subscriptions or in-app

5. Story submissions
StoriWeb may accept short-story submissions
through
hello@storiweb.com
.
By submitting a story, you understand that
StoriWeb may review the submission for possible
inclusion in the StoriWeb Readers' Stories
section.
Submission does not guarantee publication.
If we are interested in publishing your story,
we may contact you using the information provided
with your submission.
If a submitted story is selected for publication,
we may need additional information from you to
arrange payment and complete the publication
process. We will only request information that is
reasonably necessary for those purposes.
6. Supabase
StoriWeb uses Supabase to provide authentication
and database services.
Your account information and StoriWeb data are
stored and processed through our Supabase
project. Supabase provides infrastructure and
services that allow StoriWeb to authenticate
users and securely access application data.
We use Row Level Security (RLS) to help restrict
access to user data according to the permissions
defined by our application.
Supabase may process information on our behalf
as a service provider. Its handling of information
is also subject to its own policies and contractual
obligations.
7. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not share personal information with
advertising networks or data brokers.
We may share or provide access to information
to service providers that help us operate
StoriWeb, such as our authentication and database
provider, Supabase.
We may also disclose information when reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable law, respond
to valid legal requests, protect the rights or
safety of StoriWeb and its users, or prevent fraud,
abuse, or security threats.
8. Data retention
We retain account and reading information for as
long as reasonably necessary to provide StoriWeb
and maintain your account.
When you delete your StoriWeb account, we will
delete your account and associated personal data
from our systems, subject to information we may
be required to retain by law or that may need to
be retained for legitimate legal or security
purposes.
Story submissions may be retained as reasonably
necessary to review submissions, manage
publication, maintain records of published
content, or meet legal or contractual obligations.
9. Account deletion
You can delete your StoriWeb account directly
from within the app.
Deleting your account is intended to remove your
account and associated personal information,
including information associated with your saved
stories and reading history, subject to any
information we are legally required or otherwise
permitted to retain.
If you have difficulty deleting your account,
you can contact us at
contact@storiweb.com
.
10. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the
information used by StoriWeb from unauthorized
access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
No method of electronic transmission or storage
is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee
absolute security.
11. Children's privacy
StoriWeb is not designed to knowingly collect
personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal
information to us in a way that is not appropriate,
please contact us so we can review the situation
and take appropriate action.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to
time as StoriWeb evolves or our data practices
change.
When we make changes, we will update the effective
date shown at the top of this page. We encourage
you to review this page periodically.
