Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Stories ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

By using the Stories application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

Data Collection

Our primary goal is to provide a premium, seamless story reading experience. To achieve this, our application collects information in the following ways:

• No Personal Identification Details: We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address to read stories.
• Local Storage Information: To enable features like offline reading and bookmarks, the App saves reading progress and list selections locally on your device using on-device SQLite databases and key-value preference storage.
• Technical Device & Connection Data: When the App connects to our servers to fetch story contents and media, we may automatically process temporary network request data, such as your IP address, connection speed, and User-Agent header to serve the contents securely and efficiently.

How We Use Data

We use the minimal information we process for the following operations:

• To deliver, update, and manage the premium library of stories and genres.
• To save your customized bookmark lists and read history locally on your device.
• To monitor and resolve network connectivity issues or API download errors.
• To protect the app and API infrastructure from abusive traffic and requests.

Third-Party Services

The App integrates certain third-party services that process technical connection data. Below is a breakdown of these services, their purposes, and links to their respective privacy policies:

These third-party platforms may collect standard analytics and device identifiers in compliance with their own privacy policies.

Data Storage & Safety

Your local app interactions (bookmarks, read list, configuration) reside purely on your device storage (SQLite/SharedPreferences). This data is completely isolated to your device and is deleted if you uninstall the App or clear the App cache.

We implement industry-standard technical measures (such as SSL/HTTPS encryption for network calls and secure API keys) to protect data transmitted between the App and our backend servers.

Your Rights

Since the App collects zero personally identifiable information (PII) on our servers, we have no mechanism to look up, export, or delete any user profiles. You have absolute control over your local reading data, which you can erase at any time by:

• Clearing the application's storage/cache in your Android or iOS settings.
• Uninstalling the application from your device.

Policy Changes

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
