Privacy Policy πŸ”’

Last Updated: November 3, 2025

At ShipCraft, your privacy is our top priority. We believe your creative work should stay private, and we've built our entire platform around that principle.

The Simple Version πŸ’•

  • ✨ We don't collect your personal information
  • πŸ”’ All your content stays in your browser
  • 🚫 We don't track you across the web
  • πŸ’œ No account required = No data to store
  • βœ… You control everything you create

What Data We Collect (Spoiler: Almost Nothing) πŸ“Š

Data We DO NOT Collect:

  • ❌ Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
  • ❌ Your generated fanfiction stories
  • ❌ Your character names or prompts
  • ❌ Login credentials (we don't have accounts!)
  • ❌ Payment information (we're 100% free!)
  • ❌ Browsing history or tracking cookies

Data We May Collect:

  • βœ… Anonymous usage analytics (page views, feature usage counts)
  • βœ… Technical data for error monitoring (browser type, error logs)
  • βœ… Aggregate statistics (e.g., "100 stories generated today")

This minimal data helps us understand which features are popular and identify bugs, but it's never tied to you personally.

How Your Content Is Stored πŸ’Ύ

Client-Side Storage Only: When you save stories to your Library, they're stored in your browser using IndexedDB technology. This means:

  • πŸ“± Your content never leaves your device
  • πŸ” We literally cannot access your saved stories
  • πŸ’» Each browser has its own separate library
  • πŸ—‘οΈ You can delete everything by clearing browser data
  • πŸ“€ Export your library anytime to back it up

⚠️ Important: Since we use browser storage, clearing your browser data will delete your library. We recommend exporting your library regularly as a backup!

AI Content Generation πŸ€–

ShipCraft uses AI technology (powered by Vercel AI Gateway with OpenAI models) to generate creative content. Here's how it works:

  • What's Sent: When you click "Generate," we send your character names, selected scenario, and preferences to the AI service
  • Purpose: To create the fanfiction, dialogue, or other content you requested
  • Data Processing: The AI provider processes your request and returns generated content
  • No Storage: We don't store your prompts or AI-generated results on our servers
  • Third-Party: AI providers may have their own data policies. We use Vercel AI Gateway, which acts as a privacy layer

πŸ’‘ Tip: All AI-generated content is provided as creative inspiration and should be reviewed/edited before use. AI can make mistakes!

Cookies & Tracking πŸͺ

We use minimal cookies strictly for functionality:

  • Essential Cookies: For basic site functionality (theme preference, settings)
  • No Advertising Cookies: We don't use cookies for ads or cross-site tracking
  • No Third-Party Trackers: We don't sell your data to advertisers

Your Rights & Control 🎯

You have complete control over your data:

  • πŸ“€ Export: Download your entire library as JSON backup anytime
  • πŸ—‘οΈ Delete: Clear your library or individual items whenever you want
  • 🚫 No Account: No login means no data tied to an identity
  • πŸ”’ Privacy by Design: We can't access your data because it never reaches our servers

Children's Privacy πŸ‘Ά
