This Privacy Policy explains how StoryWave (“us”, “we”, or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our mobile application (the “App”) and the choices you have associated with that information.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regard to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

Information We Collect

We collect information from you when you use our App. This information may include:

• Email Address: We may collect your email address when you sign up for an account or subscribe to our newsletter. Your email address may be used for both developer advertising/marketing purposes and app functionality, as outlined below.
• App Usage Information: We may collect information about your interactions with the App, such as the features you use, the content you view, and the actions you take.
• Voice Data: When the voice recognition feature is activated, the App may process voice data in real-time to detect predefined keywords or phrases to trigger specific sounds or functionalities. This voice data is processed locally on your device and is not stored, transmitted, or shared with any third parties.

Use of Information

We may use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• Developer Advertising/Marketing: We may use your email address to send you promotional materials, newsletters, special offers, and other marketing communications that we believe may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the emails or by contacting us directly.
• App Functionality: We may use your email address to communicate with you about your account, respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and send you important notices regarding the App or your use of it.
• Voice Recognition Functionality: Voice data is used solely to enable the functionality of detecting keywords or trigger phrases during storytelling sessions. This feature is only active when explicitly enabled by the user and is deactivated upon exiting the related App section or disabling the feature.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose your information to third parties for the following purposes:

• Service Providers: We may engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, such as hosting services, analytics, and marketing assistance. These third parties may have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Voice Data Protection

• Voice data is processed locally on your device and is never stored or transmitted to external servers.
• The voice recognition feature is only active when explicitly enabled by the user and stops when the feature is deactivated or when exiting the relevant storytelling section of the App.
• No voice recordings are saved, shared, or analyzed outside the intended purpose of real-time keyword detection.

Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
